AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoHigh-Speed Research Networks: A Japanese team moved research data at more than 750 gigabits per second over an optical network, reaching nearly the link’s full capacity in a demonstration. Space: India’s GSLV-F18 rocket placed navigation satellite NVS-03 into orbit, bolstering the NavIC system. Vision Science: Johns Hopkins researchers found that a vitamin A derivative helps shape the retina’s sharp-vision region, revising a long-standing account of eye development. Heart Imaging: Spanish researchers developed an iron-based MRI agent that detected fibrosis and reduced collagen buildup in lab-grown heart tissue; patient testing is still needed. Particle Physics: Oxygen-nucleus collisions at lower energies produced signs of quark-gluon plasma, helping narrow the conditions needed to recreate matter from the early universe. Mental Health: UCSF has begun a small first-in-human trial of noninvasive focused ultrasound for persistent hallucinations in people with schizophrenia, building on preliminary results from a single treatment session. Energy Storage: Rice researchers designed a flexible porous material aimed at improving solid-state batteries.
