Hyperspectral LiDAR can recover soil spectral information from beneath vegetation canopies and help estimate key soil properties, according to a study published in Remote Sensing of Environment. The findings offer a new approach to monitoring soils in vegetated areas, where exposed ground is often limited or unavailable.

Topolectrical circuits are evolving from laboratory platforms for exploring fundamental physics into practical hardware for high-precision sensing, wireless communications, memristive and neuromorphic computing, and embodied intelligence, according to a comprehensive review jointly led by researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS) and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), Zhejiang University, and the National University of Singapore, in collaboration with Beijing Institute of Technology and the University of Würzburg.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Shudong from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS) has developed a new way to measure agricultural irrigation water use across China by combining satellite observations, physical laws, and artificial intelligence.
