Thai astronomer Dr. Nicha Leethochawalit, from NARIT, was a key member of an international team that discovered the oldest and farthest galaxy from Earth, estimated at 13.5 billion light-years away.
Utilizing data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) via the GLASS project's Early Release Science program, Dr. Nicha specifically ran the "redshift" code to determine the galaxy's immense distance (z=12.3).
This groundbreaking finding emerged from an intense global competition among astronomers to be the first to publish analyses of the initial JWST observations.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
