  • Abstract
    The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is producing a growing number of impressive and scientifically compelling results as the most powerful mm/submm interferometer in the world. Armed with high angular resolution and superb sensitivity, the science community is now enjoying mm/submm images with unprecedented level of details and quality. We report the latest status of the instrument, the most recent science highlights, and the future development program of ALMA.
