First images From Copernicus Sentinel-5A

Handout photo dated October 13, 2025 shows Copernicus Sentinel-5A has delivered its first images after its launch on 13 August 2025, marking a significant milestone in the monitoring of air quality from space. The Sentinel-5 mission provides observations of key air pollutants, essential climate variables, and stratospheric ozone, which is the protective layer shielding life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. This visualisation, created with Sentinel-5A data acquired on 13 October 2025, shows atmospheric concentrations of two trace gases: ozone (O₃) and formaldehyde (HCHO). The image on the left presents the formaldehyde vertical column density. Elevated concentrations along the northwestern coast of Angola are linked to emissions from wildfires, while increased levels over the Central African Republic stem from a combination of fire activity and biogenic emissions. The image on the right shows a global map of ozone. The hole in stratospheric ozone above Antarctica is clearly visible, with column den

(230715) -- XICHANG, July 15, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Doctor Yang Litao checks a hypothermia liquid nitrogen shielding device at the C1 hall of the second phase of the China Jinping Underground Laboratory in southwest China's Sichuan Province, July 4, 2023. Jinping Mountain, located in the drainage basin of the Yalong River, the largest tributary of Jinsha River, has the highest altitude of 4,410 meters. The China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) is located in the middle of the 17.5 kilometer-long Jinping tunnel in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The laboratory, inaugurated in 2010, is an underground research facility with a rock overburden of about 2,400 meters. CJPL-I, the first phase of China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL), has an experimental space of 4000 cubic meters. Since its launch, the China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX) led by Tsinghua University and the PandaX led by Shanghai Jiaotong University have achieved more than 30 internationally leading dark matter research results.

Taiyo Kogyo's COOL MQ Tent for Heat Stroke Prevention

Taiyo Kogyo has released the "COOL MQ" heat stroke prevention tent to protect outdoor workers from the harsh midsummer heat. The company's existing emergency air tent, which stands up in about one minute, is now equipped with a heat-shielding and heat-insulating sheet. A special air conditioner keeps the temperature in the center of the tent at minus 5 degrees Celsius compared to the outside temperature even when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius. The main unit price is 1,110,000 yen for 3-6 people (excluding the dedicated air conditioner and consumption tax).
