Researchers from California State University Northridge (CSUN), National University of Singapore (NUS), NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) have introduced a new concept called autonomous additive manufacturing (AAM), where AI agents take over tasks traditionally managed by human operators. This breakthrough represents a major step toward creating autonomous manufacturing systems, offering improvements in knowledge representation and multi-modal capabilities in additive manufacturing (AM) processes.

The lead Ph.D. candidate, Mr. Haolin Fan, explained: "In the era of generative AI, this research points out a future where human expertise and AI collaborate seamlessly, leading to more resilient and adaptable manufacturing systems that could transform industrial production."

Research team proposed RSLR, a robust self-training approach with label refinement for unsupervised domain adaptation under label noise. It uses LNet for pseudo-labeling and TNet for target-specific training, achieving successful performance on benchmark datasets.

The anti-melanogenesis effect of ligustroside derived from Ligustrum japonicum and its underlying mechanisms are explored.

The protective effects of Lepidium draba L. on cyclophosphamide-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity are explored in rats.

Recently, the research team led by Professor Heping Zhang at the Key Laboratory of Dairy Biotechnology and Engineering, Ministry of Education, Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, published a groundbreaking study in the prestigious journal Science Bulletin. Titled "A Genomic Compendium of Cultivated Food-Derived Lactic Acid Bacteria Unveils Their Contributions to Human Health", the study details the development of the comprehensive genomic dataset of food-derived lactic acid bacteria (FLAB). By systematically revealing their diversity and potential applications in food fermentation and human health, this research provides valuable scientific insights and foundational support for future studies and practical applications of LAB.

Pyrovanadates are deemed as an ideal class of potential Calcium ion storage hosts, owing to abundant confined species. However, the higher Coulombic hinderance brings about more sluggish diffusion kinetics of charge carriers. Therefore, an allelic reconfiguration is proposed for the activity-limited zinc sites, and a novel solid-solution phase copper/zinc pyrovanadate for calcium-ion host is prepared. Combining theoretical calculations with experiments, the feasibility of the solid solution phase host for high-performance reversible calcium-ion storage is clarified.

In a paper published in Science Bulletin, an international team of scientists examined the extent changes in China’s wetlands from 1980 to 2020 and highlighted the hidden loss and restoration effects based on China_Wetlands product. This consistent dataset (i.e., China_Wetlands) has been created by applying the HOHC method to over 53,000 Landsat images acquired in six time periods from 1980 to 2020.

In a paper published in National Science Review, scientists present evidences that tidal forces have a significant impact on temporal variations in seismic velocity within fault fracture zones.
