In a study published in Earth and Planetary Physics, researchers analyzed atmospheric gravity wave (AGW) events observed in Dandong (northeastern China) and Lhasa (Tibetan Plateau) between 2015–2017. Using machine learning and ray-tracing methods, the team found significant differences in wave parameters and wave sources, driven by distinct geographical conditions and wind-filtering effects.

In a paper published in Earth and Planetary Physics, a scientific team presents a good correlation between temporal variations of the core magnetic field and the gravity field after separating the core mass transfer contributions in GRACE global gravity data combined with various global hydrological models. The correlation analysis between the main principal components of core magnetic and gravity signals reveals that the changes in the second time derivative of the core magnetic field coincide in trend with changes in the gravity field.

This feature examines how Middle Eastern education systems navigate tensions between global models and local cultures. Drawing on studies across the Gulf, Turkey, Bahrain, Oman, the UAE, and Iran, it explores shadow education markets, policy borrowing, teacher learning communities, culturally grounded early education, and classroom critiques of test-driven systems. Together, these perspectives show education as an ongoing negotiation, not simple adoption, shaping identity, equity, and future readiness across the region.

January 20, 2026 – Insilico Medicine (“Insilico”, HKEX: 3696), a clinical-stage biotechnology company powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI), and Hygtia Therapeutics Co., Ltd., (Hygtia Therapeutics), today announced a co-development collaboration agreement for Insilico’s ISM8969 program. Through the partnership, the two parties aim to accelerate the global advancement of ISM8969—an orally available, brain penetrant NLRP3 inhibitor for Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders.
