Four classes of planetary systems

In our solar system, everything seems to be in order: The smaller rocky planets, such as Venus, Earth or Mars, orbit relatively close to our star. The large gas and ice giants, such as Jupiter, Saturn or Neptune, on the other hand, move in wide orbits around the sun.

The first network of robotic telescopes present across five continents is deployed

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalucía (IAA) of the State Agency Spanish Research Council (CSIC) has finished the deployment of the BOOTES Network (Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System), the first network of robotic telescopes with stations on five continents. With installations in Spain (two stations), New Zealand, China, Mexico, South Africa and Chile, it constitutes the most complete network of its kind and a unique and fully automated resource for combining data from instruments around the world, monitoring the sky and supporting observations from missions and satellites. A paper sharing the details of the network and its achievements has been accepted for publication in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences.

Researchers propose titanium-based perovskite for water activation and lower-temperature hydrolysis of organic sulfur

According to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Jan. 11, researchers led by Prof. Hao Zhengping from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) have proposed facile oxygen vacancy (VO) engineering on titanium-based perovskite to motivate water (H2O) activation, achieving enhanced organic sulfur hydrolysis and efficient sulfur recovery at lower temperatures.
