Researchers have developed a fiber neural network system that performs intelligent processing of optical communication signals directly in the light domain. This approach integrates optical transmission with optical computing, significantly improving processing efficiency and reducing power consumption for tasks like modulation format recognition.

Their results could guide the development of healthier and more productive wheat lines.

This study reviews recent advances in ultrasonic cement bond quality evaluation and proposes a unified framework for enhanced signal processing in cased wells, addressing key challenges such as tool eccentricity, lightweight cement discrimination, and weak signal extraction. Validation through synthetic models, laboratory experiments, and field deployments highlights the implications of these developments for machine-learning generalization and real-time well integrity diagnostics.

Researchers have developed a novel "theragnostic" approach for ischemic stroke using extracellular vesicles derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth stem cells (SHED-EVs). Engineered with quantum dots, these vesicles allow for real-time imaging of the blood-brain barrier while simultaneously scavenging harmful reactive oxygen species to reduce brain injury.

While the dangers of secondhand smoke are widely recognized, a new study reveals a more persistent and stealthier hazard hiding in our indoor spaces: "Thirdhand Smoke." This residue, which lingers on surfaces long after a cigarette is put out, is not just a stale smell but a dynamic source of continuous air pollution.

As climate change threatens global agricultural systems, understanding the adaptability of wild plant relatives is crucial. 

A novel polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivative hole selective material (4PADNC) has been designed to optimize hole transport in inverted perovskite solar cells.

The Cr-substituted LRMs with high capacity and stability is successfully fabricated for high energy-density solid-state batteries.

An efficient and highly selective NADH regeneration system has been constructed by integrating M with CIS microspheres via facile electrostatic self-assembly with L-AA as a sacrificial agent.

This study developed a pH-responsive nanovaccine (Lyc-OVA) based on Lycium barbarum-derived carbon dots (Lyc-CDs) synthesized via a green hydrothermal method, which suppressed primary/distal tumor growth by activating CD4⁺CD8⁺ T cells, reducing immunosuppressive Treg/MDSC populations, and reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment.
