Hubble and MAVEN help crack the case of Mars’ vanishing water
The Mars Ocean Theory suggests that about one-fifth to one-third of the planet’s surface was covered by a primordial sea approximately 4 billion years ago, according to NASA. Now, scientists are delving into the details of this water loss using data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) mission.…

New polarization multiplexer developed for 6G
A team of scientists at the University of Adelaide has developed a novel polarization multiplexer for 6G communications. The researchers note that they succeeded in testing the ultra-wideband integrated terahertz polarization (de)multiplexer on a substrateless silicon base in the sub-terahertz J-band (220-330 GHz). The device shows significant potential for use in 6G and future communication…
