A collaborative research team has pioneered a laser-driven micro-pinch with 3D-PIC simulation to generate ultra-intense neutron pulses. By compressing deuterium in nanowires to over 120 times its initial density, the method achieves neutron fluxes up to1026 cm-2s-1, offering transformative potential for nuclear astrophysics, neutron imaging, and precision neutron measurements.

A new Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) grating modulator has been developed, offering significant advancements in optical efficiency and scalability for communication systems. 

In a leap forward for miniaturized electronics, researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking method to fabricate high-aspect-ratio 3D microstructures with sub-10 micron resolution—tackling one of the most persistent challenges in radio-frequency (RF) device engineering.

A new wave of innovation is reshaping the landscape of flexible devices, driven by Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing.

Satellite communication is an indispensable part of sixth generation of mobile communication systems (6G) given its global coverage and long-distance propagation. Energy consumption and channel acquisition are two critical issues in satellite communication systems. On the one hand, with the rapidly increasing energy wastage in wireless systems, green communication technology has attracted extensive attentions and energy efficiency (EE) becomes the key performance indicator in the transmission scheme design of satellite communications. On the other hand, channel state information (CSI) is well required in designing the beamforming, but it is infeasible for gateway (GW) to acquire accurate CSI at the transmitter (CSIT) due to the long-distance delay. Most of the existing work focused on maximizing the total EE (TEE) or minimum EE (MEE) while tradeoff between TEE and MEE has not been investigated in the satellite communication systems. However, it is of both great theoretical and practical significance for satellite systems to investigate the tradeoff between the TEE and MEE so as to balance the total system performance and the fairness in terms of EE.

Tomatoes, like many crops, often face growth challenges under limited nitrogen and water conditions.

Researchers have created a comprehensive spatiotemporal atlas of the developing mouse lung, providing unprecedented insights into the molecular and cellular processes that shape this vital organ. The study, published in Science Bulletin, offers a detailed map of gene expression across different stages of lung development, from embryonic day 12.5 (E12.5) to postnatal day 0 (P0).

A recent study published in  Medcomm-Oncology  highlights the pivotal role of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase 4 (ADH4) in suppressing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. This inhibition is achieved through the facilitation of retinoic acid (RA) production and the disruption of   Wnt/β-cantenin pathway. The researchers further demonstrated that the combination of RA with cisplatin markedly attenuates tumor growth in mouse models, presenting a promising therapeutic strategy for advanced HCC.

Scientists have unveiled the magnesium-bound crystal structure of Akkermansia muciniphila sialidase Amuc_1547, a key enzyme enabling gut bacteria to degrade protective mucins. The study reveals a unique metal-binding pocket, a carbohydrate-binding domain, and an unconventional catalytic mechanism. These findings advance understanding of gut microbiota adaptation and offer potential pathways for therapies targeting metabolic diseases linked to mucin metabolism.
