 The first image from the James Webb telescope after the 18 mirrors were adjusted together, and focused on a distant star, and this is the most accurate infrared image ever taken of any star. The James Webb Space Telescope launched in December, arrived at its station nearly 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away from Earth in January, and has been hard at work preparing to conduct science the $10 billion mission was designed for. The telescope has also met every optical parameter engineers needed and is cleanly delivering light to its instruments. The achievement leaves NASA fully confident that the observatory will meet its science objectives. The new image centers on a star called 2MASS J17554042+6551277, according to the statement.

A friendly, brotherly meeting, away from the formalities between the Arab leaders, by  His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein, King of Jordan, and Mustafa Al Kazemi, Prime Minister of Iraq in Aqaba City, Jordan. The four leaders discussed ways to enhance relations of joint cooperation between them in all fields, especially trade and economic, and they also discussed views and opinions on current events at the world level, especially the global crisis in energy and food, and how to get out of it. These great friendly meetings have more positive effects than the official ones.

Sixth-Generation Wireless 6G

Image
Chinese researchers say they have achieved a record data streaming speed using a revolutionary technology that could help China take the lead in the global race for next-gen wireless communication, or 6G. Using vortex millimetre waves, a form of extremely high-frequency radio wave with rapidly changing spins, the researchers transmitted 1 terabyte of data over 1km (3,300 feet) in a second. The vortex waves, unlike anything in radio communication over the last century, added “a new dimension to wireless transmission”, said Zhang and his collaborators from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and China Unicom. The vortex electromagnetic wave has a three-dimensional form like a tornado. The Chinese team built a unique transmitter to generate a more focused vortex beam, making the waves spin in three different modes to carry more information, and developed a high-performance receiving device that could pick up and decode a huge amount of data in a split second. The Chinese government and telecomm
