Despite extensive research being conducted on various strategies for room temperature (RT) THz detection, they struggle with trade-offs between different figures of merit such as sensitivity, response speed, operating frequency range, and scalability for large-scale arrays. A team led by Professor Huizhen Wu at Zhejiang University achieved rapid, high-sensitivity, broadband room-temperature THz detection by introducing a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel to transport non-equilibrium carriers.

The Arctic is one of the coldest places on Earth, but in recent decades, the region has been rapidly warming, at a rate three to four times faster than the global average. However, current climate models have been unable to account for this increased pace. Now, researchers at Kyushu University have reported in a study, published April 29 in Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research, that clouds may be to blame.

A research paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology presented a magnetic shaftless propeller-like millirobot (MSPM) that possesses the capabilities of rotating-based multimodal 3-dimensional motion and cargo transportation with untethered manipulation.

A research paper by scientists at Hefei University of Technology presented an intuition-guided deep reinforcement learning framework for soft tissue manipulation under unknown constraints.

A research paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology proposed an efficient and safe perception method tailored for the look-and-step behavior of bipedal robots.
