The ISRO on Wednesday announced that it has successfully demonstrated the boot-strap mode start test of the CE20 Cryogenic engine, which powers the upper stage of the Launch Vehicle Mark -3 (LVM3) rocket.The test was conducted for 10 second under vacuum conditions at the High-Altitude Test (HAT) facility at ISRO Propulsion Complex, Mahendragiri on November 7, it said.According to ISRO, the CE20 cryogenic engine is already qualified for operation at thrust levels between 19 and 22 tonnes with a single start in flight and is cleared for use in the Gaganyaan missions.Under normal conditions, the engine ignition begins under tank head pressure, followed by a turbopump start up using a stored gas start-up system, the space agency said. For future missions, multiple in-flight restarts of the CE20 engine will be required for mission flexibility, towards multi-orbit missions.With the current configuration, each restart requires an additional start-up gas bottle and associated systems,

The Nexus of Open Science symposium took place on Nov. 14, bringing together leaders in neuroscience, clinical research, biomedical engineering and data science to explore topics ranging from FAIR data and software standards to improving the accessibility of AI tools in biomedical contexts like neuroimaging. Among the talks given, Georg Oeltzschner, Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, discussed a topic that may sound rather familiar to students with Organic Chemistry experience: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. To those without previous exposure, however, a NMR spectroscopy diagram may just look like a series of arbitrary peaks."Ultimately, because the protons in these compounds have characteristic chemical environments and their local electron density changes the magnetic field locally," Oeltzschner explained, "each chemical environment has a different frequency, and these sets of frequencies are highly characteristic for different molecules."Outside dreaded organic chemistry midterms, NMR spectroscopy holds great utility in real-world applications, providing a non-invasive pathway to detect compounds in the human body, helping to diagnose and monitor the progression of diseases."In the human brain, we are able to differentiate about 20 molecules at about millimolar levels... We get markers of neuronal health, cell growth, neurotransmitters, antioxidants, markers of tumors and metabolites that are involved in energy metabolism," Oeltzschner said.One specific example of NMR spectroscopy's utility in disease monitoring lies in the field of neuro-oncology, in which researchers are interested in tracking the effects of the tumor-suppressing drugs ivosidenib and vorasidenib on low-grade gliomas with the isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation. This mutation is unique because it produces a compound called 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), which interferes with normal gene expression, epigenetic regulation and cellular differentiation. The drawback to traditional imaging methods, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is that the effects these drugs have on tumor growth require months or even years to clearly manifest. This causes substantial delays in optimizing treatment regimens for patients in limited time. Meanwhile, magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy may serve as a viable alternative."If we do MR spectroscopy, we see a response to ivosidenib treatment within days to weeks," Oetzlschner said. "The 2-HG signal disappears within days of treatment commencement... [Thus,] spectroscopy is a useful modality to quickly determine if the target engagement is actually working as intended. This is a piece of information that oncologists are very keen to obtain, especially because they cannot get it with any other imaging modality."Although MR spectroscopy holds great potential for imaging applications, it is important to acknowledge that MR spectroscopy diagrams themselves are not images. Unlike qualitative images, quantitative spectroscopy diagrams (spectra) are not intuitively interpretable and require extensive analysis - many organic chemistry students can testify to the difficulty of interpreting NMR spectra. Because spectra are not images, they are often not very compatible with an infrastructure of disease diagnosis and monitoring that heavily relies on images. A significant barrier to the advancement of spectroscopy in medical applications lies in the difficulty of reproducibility."The main problem is, we're looking at [super weak] signals... so this is a fight against noise at every turn... Ultimately... MR spectroscopy estimates of metabolite concentrations. But to get there from our raw data, we have all these [processing] steps that have to happen in between."There are a multitude of ways to process the spectra data and reduce noise, depending on the research or clinical context. Each differing decision, however, affects the end results and interpretation. The processing step of modeling also presents its own challenges."Why do we have to model spectroscopy data in the first place? Again, we want more than the qualitative approach... The [parameters] that we care most about are the amplitudes [signal integrations] that tell us how much of a particular metabolite is in our spectrum. These optimization problems tend to be ill defined; really difficult to solve," Oeltzschner explained.By the time the quantification step is completed, the same data may produce drastically different conclusions in the hands of separate labs. Consequently, the results become non-reproducible and regularization becomes necessary. For a long time, scientific research was held in the hands of an exclusive few, with high entry barriers for non-expert users, but that has gradually begun to change for the better in recent years. Oetzlschner and his collaborators have joined the fight for more open and equitable science by developing an open-source platform, Osprey, for processing and quantitative analyzing in-vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy data."Osprey basically pulls all these modules into one automated workflow," Oeltzschner explained. "No matter what scanner your data come from, it's loaded and processed in a fully vendor-agnostic way. The tools to load and process these are all now out in the open for anyone to use. Anyone can read these data sets. There's no need to reinvent the wheel and write your own code for this anymore."Although versatile and streamlined, Osprey is just one step of a much larger scientific movement - one guided by a simple desire to share."We're trying to continue this innovative spirit. None of these aforementioned tools [including Osprey] were explicitly funded, so this was largely a labor of love by the people who believed that the field needed change," Oetzlschner emphasized. "We hope that we have made first steps towards bringing spectroscopy into the fold and making it more accessible to people who want to use it."

Hydrogen fuels represent a clean energy option, but a major hurdle in making its use more mainstream is efficient storage. Hydrogen storage requires either extremely high-pressure tanks or extremely cold temperatures, which means that storage alone consumes a lot of energy. This is why metal hydrides, which can store hydrogen more efficiently, are such a promising option.
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Floating solar panels are emerging as a promising clean energy solution with environmental benefits, but a new study finds those effects vary significantly depending on where the systems are deployed.Researchers from Oregon State University and the U.S. Geological Survey modeled the impact of floating solar photovoltaic systems on 11 reservoirs across six states. Their simulations showed that the systems consistently cooled surface waters and altered water temperatures at different layers within the reservoirs. However, the panels also introduced increased variability in habitat suitability for aquatic species.“Different reservoirs are going to respond differently based on factors like depth, circulation dynamics and the fish species that are important for management,” said Evan Bredeweg, lead author of the study and a former postdoctoral scholar at Oregon State. “There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for designing these systems. It’s ecology - it’s messy.”While the floating solar panel market is established and growing in Asia, it remains limited in the United States, mostly to small pilot projects. However, a study released earlier this year by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimated that U.S. reservoirs could host enough floating solar panel systems to generate up to 1,476 terawatt-hours annually, enough to power approximately 100 million homes.Floating solar panels offer several advantages. The cooling effect of the water can boost panel efficiency by an estimated 5 to 15%. The systems can also be integrated with existing hydroelectric and transmission infrastructure. They may also help reduce evaporation, which is especially valuable in warmer, drier climates.However, these benefits come with questions about potential impacts on aquatic ecosystems, an area that has received limited scientific attention.“Understanding the environmental risks and the variability in ecological responses to floating photovoltaic deployment is crucial for informing regulatory agencies and guiding sustainable energy development,” Bredeweg said.The new study used advanced modeling techniques to assess the implications of floating solar panel deployment on entire reservoirs. Researchers examined reservoirs in Oregon, Ohio, Washington, Idaho, Tennessee and Arkansas, analyzing two-month periods in both summer and winter.They found that changes in temperature and oxygen dynamics caused by floating solar panels can influence habitat availability for both warm-water and cold-water fish species. For instance, cooler water temperatures in summer generally benefit cold-water species, though this effect is most pronounced when panel coverage exceeds 50%.The researchers note the need for continued research and long-term monitoring to ensure floating photovoltaic systems support clean energy goals without compromising aquatic ecosystems.“History has shown that large-scale modifications to freshwater ecosystems, such as hydroelectric dams, can have unforeseen and lasting consequences,” Bredeweg said. Co-authors of the paper include Ivan Arismendi of Oregon State’s Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences; Sarah Henkel of the Hatfield Marine Science Center at Oregon State; and Christina Murphy of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Maine Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit.
