Professor Jairo Sinova of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) will be coordinating a new Priority Program in the field of condensed matter physics that will be dealing with unconventional magnetism. The Priority Program will involve fundamental and applied research in the field of unconventional magnetic systems to develop IT components or devices that will reach the technical limits of physical viability in terms of speed, storage density, and efficiency. The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the establishment of the Priority Program on "Unconventional Magnetism: Beyond the s-wave magnetism paradigm" and will be providing around EUR 8 million in funding over an initial period of three years. The project is to be launched in 2026.

Historically, small molecule drugs have been precisely designed down to the atomic scale. Considering their relatively large complex structures, nanomedicines have lagged behind. Researchers argue this precise control should be applied to optimize new nanomedicines. "By controlling structure, we can create the most potent medicines with the lowest chance of adverse side effects," researcher says.

In a new study published in Science Bulletin, researchers from West China Hospital of Sichuan University present the largest human T cell reference for 68 subtypes and states, alongside STCAT, an automated annotation tool achieving 28% higher accuracy than existing methods. Their systematic analyses reveal T cell subtype dynamics in cancer and COVID-19, offering a valuable resource for the community. They also develop a TCellAtlas database for browse T cell expression profiles and analyzing customized scRNA-seq data by STCAT tool.
