WEAVE spectrograph begins study of galaxy formation and evolution
LIFU's advantage comes from the large amount of information contained in each observation. Using small displacements of the pointer, the WEAVE spectrograph has produced, in two hours, spectra for 31,500 regions in and around these galaxies. The total light intensity of each of the fibres is used to form the image of the galaxies shown in the centre.

Mysteriously bright flash is a black hole jet pointing straight toward Earth, astronomers say
The observations could illuminate how supermassive black holes feed and grow. Earlier this year, astronomers were keeping tabs on data from the Zwicky Transient Facility, an all-sky survey based at the Palomar Observatory in California, when they detected an extraordinary flash in a part of the sky where no such light had been observed the night before.

Breaking the scaling limits of analog computing
New technique could diminish errors that hamper the performance of super-fast analog optical neural networks. As machine-learning models become larger and more complex, they require faster and more energy-efficient hardware to perform computations. Conventional digital computers are struggling to keep up.

Scientists eagerly anticipate El Capitan’s potential impact
While Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is eagerly awaiting the arrival of its first exascale-class supercomputer, El Capitan , physicists and computer scientists running scientific applications on testbeds for the machine are getting a taste of what to expect. "I'm not exactly sure we've wrapped our head around exactly about how much compute power [El Capitan] is going to have, because it is so much of a jump from what we have now," said Brian Ryujin, a computer scientist in the Applications, Simulations, and Quality (ASQ) division of LLNL's Computing directorate.

Say Hello to the Toughest Material on Earth
Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel (CrCoNi). Not only is the metal extremely ductile - which, in materials science, means highly malleable - and impressively strong (meaning it resists permanent deformation), its strength and ductility improve as it gets colder.

Advanced Light Source Upgrade Approved to Start Construction
The Advanced Light Source (ALS), a scientific user facility at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ÜBerkeley Lab), has received federal approval to start construction on an upgrade that will boost the brightness of its X-ray beams at least a hundredfold. "The ALS upgrade is an amazing engineering undertaking that is going to give us an even more powerful scientific tool," said Berkeley Lab Director Michael Witherell.

Process converts polyethylene bags, plastics to polymer building blocks
Plastics made from polyethylene (white strands), such as the milk bottle shown in background, can now be broken down into smaller molecules - propylene - that are valuable for making another type of plastic, polypropylene.
