Recently, Guoqin Huang from Jiangxi Agricultural University and Kai Huang from Guangxi Hydraulic Research Institute systematically reviewed the multiple benefits of sugarcane intercropping in optimizing soil fertility. Their findings offer new insights for ecological restoration of dry sloping farmland in southern China. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025612).

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech), collaborated with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), have achieved the world’s first successful demonstration of next-generation error correction codes, mitigating the impact of atmospheric turbulence on ground-to-satellite laser communications.

Atmospheric turbulence in ground-to-satellite laser links is known to cause fading, resulting in burst data errors. Error correction codes are one of the key technologies to mitigate such effects. In this experiment, we transmitted next-generation error correction codes with high correction capability (5G NR LDPC and DVB-S2) and successfully corrected burst data errors caused by atmospheric turbulence in the laser link. This result confirmed that both codes can significantly improve communication quality compared to conventional schemes.

A novel electrochemical method promises faster battery charging times and extended operational lifespan.
