An research article published in Nano Research provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in ADCs, particularly distinguishing different structural subclasses and linking structural types with asymmetric catalytic mechanisms. It discusses the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the high-throughput screening, performance prediction, and elucidation of catalytic mechanisms of ADCs. The review also highlights the intrinsic logical advancements in characterization techniques and the applications of ADCs in key electrocatalytic reactions, such as the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR).

Recently, a team from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (in collaboration with the Beijing Institute of Nanoenergy and Nanosystems, Chinese Academy of Sciences) made significant progress in strain-modulated optoelectronic perception and neuromorphic vision systems. Their findings were published in Nano Research on February 26, 2026.

When intense femtosecond laser pulses irradiate nanoparticles, the rapid energy deposition triggers a cascade of electronic and ionic responses within an extremely short time window, giving rise to transient nanoplasma shock waves-one of the most extreme states of matter reproducible in laboratory environments. These nanoscale shock waves offer a unique platform for studying mesoscale physical processes on ultrafast timescales, and hold promise for applications ranging from nanofabrication and compact laser-driven ion accelerators to targeted cancer therapies. However, achieving fine control over the spatial characteristics and propagation of nanoplasma shock fronts has remained a long-standing challenge.

Multi-institutional Canadian research published in JMIR Aging maps out how individual physical, cognitive, and environmental barriers dictate whether senior-focused health tech succeeds or fails.

A research team led by Dr. Jinsub Kim, Principal Researcher at the Heat Pump Research Center of the Research Institute of Carbon-neutral Energy Machinery at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu), developed a spray-based immersion cooling technology using dielectric liquid to mitigate thermal runaway and fire risks in lithium-ion battery packs. The technology directly sprays dielectric liquid onto the upper side of the battery pack while partially immersing the lower side, and its cooling performance was validated under rapid charge-discharge conditions of an actual lithium-ion battery pack.
