A new deep-learning framework improves satellite precipitation-type classification by combining engineered radar statistics with convolutional features from dual-frequency profiles.

Small, short-lived wetland flooding is a major but poorly tracked methane source. 

Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology developed a biodegradable spiny milli-ball robot (SMB-bot), which integrates oral delivery, intestinal locomotion, magnetic targeting, and local microneedle-mediated drug release within a biodegradable miniature robot.

The research paper, An Oral Biodegradable Spiny Milli-Ball Robot for Targeted Intestinal Delivery of Biologics with Delayed Onset and Sustained Action, published in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems on Oct 16, 2026.

While tNIRS shows potential for Alzheimer's disease (AD), conventional whole-brain irradiation lacks anatomical precision and yields inconsistent outcomes. Resolving these elusive network-level mechanisms requires targeted stimulation paradigms.  We provide the  clinical evidence that targeted tNIRS ameliorates AD cognitive deficits by dynamically reconfiguring large-scale brain networks, establishing a precise, mechanistic neuromodulation strategy. 

Arctic warming has promoted vegetation growth, but a pan-Arctic analysis shows human disturbance is eroding these gains.
