The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Dr. Ho Seong Lee) has re-measured a key transition frequency of the strontium (Sr) atom for the first time in 88 years since 1938, using a photonic grating chip, and has established a new absolute frequency value with a measurement uncertainty reduced by more than 50 times. By securing an accurate reference value needed for next-generation quantum technologies ahead of time, this achievement is expected to greatly contribute to the precise control and miniaturization of quantum devices, including atomic clocks and neutral-atom quantum computers.

Factors such as sunlight and stage-specific nutrient application determine crop success in urban agriculture, far beyond fixed recipes or miracle solutions. This is demonstrated by an eight-year study conducted by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), Spain, in its build-integrated rooftop greenhouse, thermally connected to the facility itself, and located within the university campus.

Researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have designed and tested a new type of modular tire aimed at making it smarter and more sustainable. As part of the ECOTIRE project, they have developed a removable silicone tread that can significantly increase durability, reduce abrasive wear, and mitigate pollution caused by rubber waste.

Deep learning overcomes the limitations of traditional methods in behavioral prediction and neural decoding—such as handcrafted features, linear models, and physical priors—and through high-dimensional nonlinear modeling, multimodal fusion, and interpretable learning, significantly improves the accuracy of action and trajectory prediction as well as the mechanistic interpretability of neuro-behavioral decoding, driving the field from black-box prediction toward a mechanism-driven scientific discovery platform.
