  • Ultraprecision Machining of Large Aperture Mirrors Using Robot-Enabled CCOS and MRF for Astronomical Telescopes and Space Instrumentation
    Large aperture ultra-precision mirrors are critical components in next-generation astronomical telescopes such as the China Space Station Telescope（CSST） and the MUltiplexed Survey Telescope（MUST）. However, traditional 5/6-axis CNC "Box machines" combined with sub-aperture polishing techniques (CCOS, MRF, IBF) face challenges in cost-effectiveness

    Dark Matter and the 511 keV Line: Clues from the Galactic Centre
    Measurements of the 511 keV emission reveal the presence of a steady injection of positrons that is very concentrated around the Galactic centre, and whose origin remains unknown. While astrophysical sources do not easily fit the observed morphology and intensity of this excess, MeV dark matter has been proposed as a compelling explanation with
