Polarization of photons plays a key role in quantum optics and light-matter interactions, however, it is difficult to control in nanostructures. Here scientists reveal polarization control of photons using photonic molecules (PMs) composed of two coupled photonic crystal nanobeam cavities. With an evanescent wave coupling, PMs directly control the local optical field that couples with the emitter, indicating a high efficiency in polarization control and a significant potential for applications in spin-resolved cavity quantum electrodynamics.

Research team developed ACbot, an IIoT platform for industrial robots with a multitenancy model and cloud-edge-device architecture, enhancing O&M efficiency and collaboration.

The innovative dual-serrated structure solar cell developed by Huazhong University of Science and Technology reduces reflection losses by 18.34% through a "photon maze" design, potentially boosting conversion efficiency to 31.13% and opening new pathways to unlock efficiency enhancements in tandem perovskite solar cells.

A novel approach to temperature stabilization harnesses optoelectronics and neuro-inspired Hebbian learning, and, by using brain-inspired plasticity in an optoelectronic dendritic platform, enables ultra-fast, adaptive control.

 In a recent study published in Life Metabolism, Dr. Zhuoxian Meng’s team at Zhejiang University School of Medicine uncovered a novel mechanism by which the chromatin remodeler Brg1/Brm-associated factor 60c (Baf60c) regulates fat tissue thermogenesis and overall energy metabolism through its control of the muscle-derived myokine, Musclin.

Recently, a joint Chinese–American research team led by Dr. HU Han from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr Jingmai O’Connor from the Field Museum of Natural History (Chicago) announced the discovery and scientific description of the 14th known specimen of Archaeopteryx, known as the Chicago Archaeopteryx.
