Magnetic Wave Study Detects Lithium in Mercury’s Exosphere for First Time Ever
For the first time, scientists have detected lithium in Mercury’s exosphere using magnetic wave signatures found in MESSENGER spacecraft data. The findings link lithium’s release to meteoroid impacts that vaporise planetary material, offering fresh insight into volatile element delivery. This breakthrough reshapes our understanding of Mercury...

Breakthrough Laser Tech Enhances LiDAR Accuracy and Gas Detection
Researchers from NTNU and EPFL have developed a compact, low-cost laser on a photonic chip using thin-film lithium niobate. This new laser enables ultrafast, mode-hop-free tuning and delivers stable performance with a single control knob. Demonstrated in LiDAR systems, it achieved 4 cm range precision for self-driving cars and also detected trace h...

Scientists Chase Falling Satellite to Study Atmospheric Pollution from Spacecraft Reentries
In a rare airborne mission, scientists chased ESA's Cluster Salsa satellite as it reentered Earth's atmosphere. The fiery descent revealed emissions of lithium, potassium, and aluminum—chemicals that could impact the ozone layer and climate. With satellite reentries increasing, researchers aim to improve pollution models and plan further tracking...
