About one in five patients with coronary artery disease show little or no measurable improvement in their exercise capacity despite completing a full cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program. Identification of these “non-responders” before training could help in the better design of the treatment strategy. In a new study, researchers used machine learning model to predict who would benefit from exercise-based CR. Overall, the study points toward a more personalized model of CR.

Earth's inner core, composed primarily of iron with a small percentage of light elements, may enter a superionic state at extreme pressure and temperature, according to experimental results from researchers at Science Tokyo. Using laser-heated and electrically wired diamond-anvil cells, the researchers identified experimental signatures of superionic iron hydride at conditions relevant to Earth’s core. These findings provide new insights into the composition and dynamics of Earth's deep interior.

Optical computing offers high speed and low consumption for data compression and computer vision. However, most optical differentiators are static. The group in Nanjing University proposes a reconfigurable ferroelectric chiral nanostructure to dynamically control optical differentiation. By switching the electric field polarity, differentiation or bright-field imaging is actively selected within 62 μs. Biological edges are clearly identified while direct imaging is also achievable. This work opens new avenues for biomedical microscopy and artificial intelligence.

University of Tennessee, Knoxville researchers are advancing a circular bioeconomy that transforms renewable biological resources into fuels, materials and other products while minimizing waste. Through interdisciplinary research, industry partnerships and artificial intelligence, UT is developing solutions that could strengthen agriculture, expand biobased manufacturing and create new economic opportunities in Tennessee and beyond.

A research team led by Professor Yang Lu from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), has achieved a breakthrough by uncovering the microscopic physical nature of ultralarge elasticity in covalent semiconductors such as silicon and diamond. This discovery provides crucial quantitative guidance for "Deep Elastic Strain Engineering" (DESE), paving the way for the development of next-generation electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum devices.
