Small Magellanic Cloud is being pulled apart, reshaping how astronomers read its past

Small Magellanic Cloud is being pulled apart, reshaping how astronomers read its past Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Using more than a decade of observations from the VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC), researchers measured the motions of millions of stars across the Small Magellanic Cloud with unprecedented precision. The new study, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, provides direct evidence of a galaxy-wide tidal disruption of the Small Magellanic...

Learning Controlled Separation of Small Objects Between Two Fingers with a Tactile Skin

arXiv:2605.31486v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce and solve the novel task of controlled separation of small objects with two fingers of a multi-purpose robotic hand: after grasping into a box of small objects, the task is to drop as many of them until a desired number remains between the fingers. The objects are small compared to the width of the fingers but also in absolute terms. In our case little pellets with a diameter of only 6mm are handled.

For satellites as small as a briefcase, getting around in space just got a whole lot easier

For satellites as small as a briefcase, getting around in space just got a whole lot easier Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor MIT engineers are testing a new propulsion system that combines the power and speed of conventional chemical thrusters with the precision and fuel-efficiency of electrical thrusters. The system could enable the design of nimbler, more flexible small satellites, which could perform both fast, powerful maneuvers and slower, precise adjustments,...

American billionaire Mark Cuban graduates: Start your job search with small companies

There’s no doubt that artificial intelligence is transforming the job market. American billionaire Mark Cuban is urging recent college graduates to look beyond big corporations and begin their careers with small businesses. In a post shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) Cuban highlighted that small companies create around 60% new jobs annually and will increasingly benefit from AI, enabling them to compete ‘easier and faster’ with larger rivals.

How a small amount of rare earth metal shapes the environmental impact of magnets

How a small amount of rare earth metal shapes the environmental impact of magnets Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Magnets for electric cars and wind turbines contain only a small amount of the rare earth metal dysprosium. Yet, this metal is responsible for a large share of the environmental impact and costs, according to research by environmental scientists Stellina Samuel, Robert Istrate and René Kleijn. The study is published in the journal Sustainable Production...

Fighting Amazon made Chris Smalls a celebrity: 'My life changed' – Stateside with Kai and Carter

In 2022, Amazon workers at a fulfillment center in Staten Island made history by voting to form a union. Their leader was fired Amazon worker Chris Smalls, who became something of a celebrity within the labor movement. Smalls left the union amid internal tensions, and has gone on to become a freelance activist since.

DAD4TS: Data-Augmentation-Oriented Diffusion Model for Time-Series Forecasting with Small-Scale Data

arXiv:2605.17866v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Small-scale data is a critical problem in time-series forecasting tasks. Data augmentation is an effective strategy for this task, but it has a limitation in generating meaningful data. To address this limitation, we propose DAD4TS, a diffusion-model-based data augmentation method with reinforcement learning, designed for time-series forecasting with small-scale data.

A Lyapunov-Based Small-Gain Theorem for Fixed-Time Stability

arXiv:2511.23474v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper introduces a novel Lyapunov-based small-gain methodology for establishing fixed-time stability (FxTS) guarantees in interconnected dynamical systems. Specifically, we consider interconnections in which each subsystem admits an individual fixed-time input-to-state stability (ISS) Lyapunov function that certifies FxT-ISS. We then show that if a nonlinear small-gain condition is satisfied, then the entire interconnected system is FxTS.
