Fruit skin color is central to pear quality and market value, with russet skin offering both protection and unique appearance.

A research paper by scientists at University of Southern Denmark presented a multimodal limbless crawling soft robot capable of navigating complex terrains using a combination of rectilinear motion and asymmetric steering gaits.

The research paper was published on Jun. 9, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.

Psoriasis is a serious, incurable systemic disease that causes painful skin lesions and significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and arthritis. It affects about 125 million people worldwide—roughly 2–3% of us—and too often demands lifelong treatment.

New research published in Nature shows that early treatment, within one year of disease onset, can significantly reduce the risk of relapse. Genetic profiling can support clinicians on precise diagnosis and timely treatment. Moving from one-size-fits-all care to durable and personalized healthcare.

Researchers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Southern University of Science and Technology have developed a novel deep learning neural network, Electrode Net. By introducing signed distance fields and three-dimensional convolutional neural networks, this method can significantly accelerate electrode design while maintaining high accuracy. It is widely applicable to fuel cells, water electrolyzers, flow batteries, etc.

A novel strategy was designed for guiding supramolecular macrocycles into nanoscale chiral topological toroids, establishing hierarchical self-assembly pathways for advanced chiroptical materials
