A recent study, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) appeared in the online version before inclusion in an issue of Angewandte Chemie International Edition on November 21, 2024. This study highlights a groundbreaking development in foldable molecular paths within solid-state frameworks, illuminating their potential for dynamic pore control and transformative applications in molecular metamaterials.

Organoids, or living biobanks, are living tissue models widely used in biomedical research and drug screening. A recent review article published in the Chinese Medical Journal, systematically examines standardization efforts in organoid research, including operational procedures, laboratory establishment, and existing published guidelines related to organoid culture. The authors also discuss current challenges in the standardization of organoid construction, highlighting key areas for improvement.

The integration of machine learning and logical reasoning has long been considered a holy grail problem in artificial intelligence. ABductive Learning (ABL) is a paradigm that integrates machine learning and logical reasoning in a unified framework.

In a paper published in National Science Review, an international team of scientists introduce a new perspective review on liquid-solid composite materials by exploring confined interface behavior. They explore these materials through the collaborative and complementary design of liquid materials and solid materials within the confined interface, especially focusing on the motion behavior of confined liquids. The article focuses on the frontier development of the confined interface behavior of liquid-solid composites. And it puts forward for the first time the concept and connotation of liquid-based confined interface materials (LCIMs), further discussing the challenges and opportunities in its future development.

A study published in National Science Review reveals that carbon-14 (C-14) from algae can integrate into zebrafish biomolecules through a food chain transfer pathway, causing metabolic changes and neurological alterations.
