Can a hybrid AI-physics model address the challenges of typhoon forecasting? New study shows significant accuracy gains

Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research team has studied the development of the Shanghai Typhoon Model from a traditional physics-based regional model toward a data-driven, machine-learning typhoon forecasting system. They summarize the model’s performance in Typhoon Danas in 2025, noting that a hybrid Shanghai Typhoon Model provides a significant advancement in forecast accuracy. Their paper outlines a roadmap for evolving the physically driven Shanghai Typhoon Model into a purely data-driven, regional machine-learning weather-prediction model designed for typhoon prediction.

Giant two-photon upconversion from 2D exciton in doubly-resonant plasmonic nanocavity

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Two-photon upconversion is an emerging technique to probe excitonic dark states. Towards high-efficiency upconversion, scientists in China employed a doubly resonant plasmonic nanocavity, achieving 2440-fold enhancement of two-photon luminescence due to improved light collection, magnified excitation rate and increased quantum efficiency. To clarify the physical mechanism, single-resonance-enhanced second-harmonic generation and photoluminescence alongside thermally tuned dual-resonance upconversion are investigated. These results establish a foundation for developing high-performance nonlinear photonic devices and probing fine excitonic states.
