Scientists have created a giant quantum tornado inside a helium superfluid. The whirlpool moves without friction, making it mimic the way rotating black holes warp space-time. By studying the vortex, physicists could glean important insight into the behavior of the cosmic monsters.

This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies. A new Observational System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) will help researchers design science missions dedicated to monitoring terrestrial freshwater storage. This abundance of available sensors creates its own unique challenge: how can researchers organize these diverse instruments in the most efficient way for field campaigns and science missions?

This year’s symposium featured student research on invasive green crabs, smelt population estimates using eDNA technology, climate impacts on bees and blueberries, ocean plastics, and more. Presentations by five early career scientists from GMRI and MWOBS provided an opportunity for youth to talk with near-peer role models. The program featured a scientific talk by Brandon Rodriguez from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory that inspired youth to think about the breadth of possibilities for working in planetary science.

Virtual representation A fundamental challenge for digital twins is the vast range of spatial and temporal scales that the virtual representation may need to address. In many applications, the scale at which computations are feasible falls short in resolving key phenomena and does not achieve the fidelity needed to support decisions. Investments in both computing resources and mathematical/algorithmic advances are necessary elements for closing the gap between what can be simulated and what is needed to achieve trustworthy digital twin. Particular areas of importance include multiscale modeling, hybrid modeling

NASA used high-fidelity simulators controlled by a network of digital computers to train astronauts and mission controllers. These simulators were particularly important for testing scenarios of failure and refining instructions that determined success in critical mission situations. The Apollo 13 simulators represented a set of virtual assets that were supposed to mimic the structure and behavior of their corresponding physical asset, and most importantly, that received feedback of data from the physical asset.
