ENG: Astronomers have captured a remarkable view of two giant planets forming around the young star WISPIT 2, offering one of the clearest chances yet to observe how planetary systems come into being. The star is encircled by a broad disc of gas and dust, the material from which planets are born. Within this disc, rings and gaps reveal that new worlds are actively taking shape, making the system an important example for understanding the early evolution of Solar System-like environments.
Efficient Harvesting of Ocean Wave Energy
ENG: Ocean waves represent one of the largest and most consistent sources of renewable energy, yet converting their motion into electricity remains a difficult engineering problem. Many existing wave energy converters perform well only within a narrow range of sea conditions, which reduces their practical value in the ocean’s constantly changing environment. To address this limitation, a researcher from the University of Osaka investigated a gyroscopic wave energy converter, a system designed to harvest wave power more efficiently across a broader range of frequencies.
