Research team presented FairAT, a novel fair adversarial training algorithm. It improves robustness of hard classes by augmenting hard examples dynamically, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in robustness and fairness.
In a recent study published in Engineering, researchers have developed a hybrid keratin and liquid metal hydrogel. This innovative material shows promise in creating wearable electronics for monitoring the health of marine inhabitants, addressing limitations of traditional hydrogels in mechanical and conductive properties.
A new study published in Engineering has identified enolase 2 (ENO2) as a key factor in the lymphatic metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The research reveals how ENO2 and its metabolite phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) promote cancer cell invasion and macrophage polarization, and shows that inhibiting ENO2 can potentially slow down HNSCC metastasis.
A study in Engineering reveals a new adsorbent made by combining cationic surfactants with montmorillonite. This adsorbent can selectively remove perchlorate from water, addressing a key issue in drinking water safety. It shows high selectivity, fast adsorption, and good stability, with potential for water treatment applications.
In order to address the challenges in contemporary global politics, economy, and research, there is an urgent need for the complete redesign of the human education system, centered on innovation, enhancing human well-being and sustainable development. Using empirical data from reputable international organizations, such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), this study analyzes the uncertainties confronting world development and how the education system can be redesigned with these challenges in mind.
In March 2025, an English academic journal "Safety Emergency Science" was officially launched.
Quasi-particles are collective quantum elements of condensed matter. They are foundationally important for understanding physics of materials and for technological applications of semiconductors. Using ultrafast optical pump-probe technique, scientists discovered a series of new spectral features that are not attributable to existing quasi-particles. By using advanced quantum many-body theories, these spectral features could be uniquely explained by the existence of a new quasi-particle called quadruplon, a genuine four-body composite particle, different from the known bi-exciton.
