The Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Link’s concrete structures are engineered to achieve a design service life of 120 years, necessitating a robust, science-based framework for long-term durability management. This paper systematically reviews data-driven and physics-informed modeling approaches; establishes a smart, self-cleaning, and self-predictive durability database; integrates validated, application-oriented durability models; develops a life-cycle cost-optimized planning methodology; and proposes performance-aligned maintenance strategies—thereby identifying critical technical and managerial challenges in sustaining structural durability over the whole service life.

In a newly published research article in Space: Science & Technology, an international team of researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences; the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN); the China Academy of Space Technology; the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences; the Yunnan Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences; and the China University of Geosciences jointly presents a detailed account of the successful deployment of the INRRI laser retroreflector on the lunar farside by the Chang’e-6 mission.

Researchers propose a novel scheme to produce isolated attosecond pulses using relativistic electron mirrors, paving the way for next-generation ultrafast spectroscopy.

Among 241,576 UK Biobank participants, residential greenspace was associated differently with incident ocular and adnexal disease subtypes. Higher exposure was associated with lower incidence of lens and, borderline, choroid and retina disorders, but associations differed for eyelid, lacrimal system, orbit, and conjunctiva disorders.

The study highlights the importance of outcome-specific environmental-health assessment. It cannot establish that greenspace causes or prevents disease, and mechanisms and generalizability remain to be tested.

This study analyzed 1,441 publications from 2010 through 2024 to characterize growth, geographic and institutional contributions, and research hotspots in cardiovascular glycosylation. The field has expanded steadily, with O-GlcNAcylation identified as a major focus.

The map can inform basic, translational, and collaborative research. Its findings are constrained by database coverage and bibliometric methods and do not replace mechanistic or clinical evidence.
