As orbital space resources become increasingly scarce, the problem of orbital pursuit-evasion games among spacecraft has attracted widespread attention. In multi-to-one pursuit-evasion scenarios, multiple pursuit spacecraft are required to cooperatively capture a non-cooperative evasive target under impulsive maneuver and fuel constraints, giving rise to an optimal control problem characterized by strong nonlinearity and complex constraints. Existing differential game methods suffer from high computational complexity and poor real-time performance; numerical optimization approaches are sensitive to initial guesses and struggle to handle long-duration constraints; and although deep reinforcement learning has demonstrated advantages in some scenarios, it lacks proactive prediction capability when confronting unknown evasion strategies, thereby limiting pursuit performance. Consequently, how to predict the actions of the evading spacecraft in multi-to-one scenarios and accordingly optimize the cooperative strategies of multiple pursuers has become a key challenge for improving pursuit efficiency in complex orbital games.

Roughly one-third of the food produced worldwide is wasted, and researchers at Kyushu University are turning to packaging for a solution. Their review brings together intelligent sensing materials, self-healing films, and AI-driven prediction to expand packaging's role from passive protection to active, real-time sensing. Through a closed loop of recognition, judgment, actuation, and feedback, the team aims to make packaging a trusted, responsive part throughout the food system, from producers to consumers.

Our oceans are in trouble and new research from Flinders University shows how changes in diatoms (microalgae) could further undermine the foundation of aquatic life’s food webs – as well as vital deep-sea carbon capture or sequestration.

A new study published in Marine Ecology used high-tech methods to test common microalgal species to assess how various stressors, including acidification from excessive carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels, affect absorption of trace metals and therefore undermine their overall health and role in Earth’s carbon cycling.
