We present a photonic integrated circuit composed of two coupled photonic quantum memristors with crossed feedback. The input is generated by a room-temperature single-photon source based on a silicon-vacancy color center in a nanodiamond. The input–output relations exhibit higher nonlinearity and memory effects compared with a single photonic quantum memristor: these new features make our network especially suited for reservoir computing. Finally, we experimentally use our system in temporal series predictions.

The hidden world of quantum mechanics exists at scales many orders of magnitude smaller than living organisms, and yet scientists have long theorized that quantum effects play an important role in biology. Birds’ ability to sense magnetic fields during migration is one of the most well-known mysteries in this field, with leading theories suggesting that this sensing could be achieved by exploiting quantum entanglement. By proving the Pontryagin Maximum Principle for quantum systems, researchers have come up with a recipe to control quantum effects that may finally be able to put this avian hypothesis to the test, while also unlocking new biological platforms for quantum computing.

Methane dry reforming converts CO₂ and CH₄ into syngas for green fuel synthesis to advance carbon neutrality. Low-cost Ni catalysts suffer severe deactivation from sintering and coking.We fabricate a robust Ni_BN catalyst with uniformly dispersed 6 nm Ni nanoparticles withelectron-deficient Ni speciestailored by interfacial boron, delivering coke-free operation over 350 hours. This unique structure suppresses deep CH₄ cleavage while boosts CO₂ reactivity. It offers new guidance for C–H activation related catalyst design.

A recent review outlines major advances in hydrogel-based strategies for musculoskeletal therapy. Through refined material design and strengthened mechanical performance, hydrogels can mimic key extracellular matrix features while enabling localized and controlled delivery of drugs, cells, and other bioactive cues. They can also be engineered into clinically relevant formats, including injectable systems, scaffolds, patches, and adhesive sealants, supporting applications across bone and cartilage repair, osteoarthritis management, disc regeneration, tendon healing, and dural repair. 

The Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI) (President: Sagong Myung) has developed the world's first "rail-mounted thermal-blocking textile with automated installation and retrieval system" to dramatically mitigate temperature rises on railway tracks during extreme summer heat.
