Japan Tests Rotating Detonation Engine in Space for the First Time
From Interesting Engineering.com:
"In a world-first, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced on August 19 that it has successfully demonstrated the operation of a "rotating detonation engine" in space, with the goal of extending the propulsion method to deep space travel in the future."

I could not find the JAXA announce meant in English. Here it is in Japanese:

Re: Japan Tests Rotating Detonation Engine in Space for the First Time
This seemed interesting so I found a little more background on the technology and the physics it's based on.
Any metaphor will tear if stretched over too much reality.
