A research team led by Yan Jiang, Qi Chen and Dongxu Lin from the Beijing Institute of Technology, together with collaborators, has published a comprehensive review on large‑area, high‑performance X‑ray imaging detectors based on metal‑halide perovskites (MHPs). These new detectors promise higher resolution, larger coverage areas, and more affordable production, potentially transforming medical diagnostics, industrial inspections, and security systems.

This work systematically summarizes recent advances in material design, scalable fabrication (including single crystals, films, and wafers), and backplane integration strategies, providing a clear roadmap for transitioning perovskite X‑ray detectors from laboratory‑scale, single‑pixel devices to practical, high‑resolution imaging systems.

A research team has uncovered a previously unknown RNA-based control system that helps tea plants regulate amino acid production, a process central to tea flavor, nutritional value, and quality. 

Red clover is an important forage, horticultural, and ecological crop, but its complex genome has long slowed precise trait discovery and molecular breeding. 

Fruit quality is not determined by genetics alone. Water availability, salinity, heat, and cold can all reshape fruit color, sweetness, acidity, aroma, texture, antioxidant activity, and ripening behavior.

Brake-by-wire systems are becoming a core technology for intelligent electric vehicles, but their performance depends heavily on a compact, reliable and responsive booster motor. A study in Green Energy and Intelligent Transportation presents a structured design method for the booster motor used in brake-by-wire systems, combining motor selection, electrical and mechanical design, simulation optimization and prototype verification.

Fuel cell buses are a promising route toward cleaner public transport, but their real-world efficiency depends on more than the vehicle powertrain alone. A study in Green Energy and Intelligent Transportation presents a hierarchical predictive energy management strategy that uses traffic information around bus stops to guide how fuel cell buses plan battery state of charge and allocate power as they approach stopping events.

This study systematically investigates how chronological age, clinical facial aging features, and perceived age are related in Chinese women aged 15–65 years. By combining expert grading, standardized facial photography, and non-expert age perception assessment, the authors establish a practical method for evaluating perceived age. The findings show that perceived age tends to be slightly older than chronological age and is strongly associated with visible aging features, especially nasolabial folds, marionette folds, facial contour laxity, uneven skin tone, and reduced radiance. This work provides a consumer-relevant tool for anti-aging product evaluation and targeted skincare development.
