A research team of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has recently solved a long-standing puzzle using large-scale molecular dynamics simulation and theoretical analysis, revealing the secret to nature’s incredible speed and providing implications for instant biocompatible surgical glues.

A recent study investigates the intermuscular bones (IBs) of a novel hybrid fish (BTB), derived from female Megalobrama amblycephala (BSB) and male Culter alburnus (TC), and its parents. The research reveals that BTB exhibits a reduced number of IBs per sarcomere compared to its parents, showcasing the potential of distant hybridization in developing fish varieties with fewer IBs, which is advantageous for both consumer preference and industrial processing.

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Technology; DOI   10.29026/oet.2026.250013, discusses dual quasi-BIC resonances synergized laser cooling in halide perovskite metasurface.

A new University at Buffalo study finds that Americans produce similar amounts of plastic packaging waste no matter their income, education, or location. However, wealthier and more educated communities recycle significantly more. The study suggests this gap is largely due to unequal access to recycling infrastructure, making it harder for some communities to recycle effectively.

As the global push for carbon neutrality accelerates, managing the massive energy demands and waste heat of industrial sectors has become a critical challenge. Industrial energy systems currently account for nearly 40% of global electricity demand growth. To address this, scientists are increasingly turning to a promising long-duration energy storage technology: the Carnot battery.

Butterfly wings were the inspiration behind this new, lightweight lattice structure that doesn’t compromise on sturdiness.
