A new artificial intelligence model, Aquila, helps computers read remote sensing images with greater detail and stronger language reasoning. 

Psychiatric disorders affect millions worldwide, but their diagnosis still relies on clinical observation instead of standard biological tests. In an attempt to identify reliable biomarkers, scientists in China have now launched the Brain-Gut Health Initiative, a large-scale longitudinal study combining neuroimaging, electrophysiology, microbiome sequencing, blood biomarkers, and clinical assessments across major psychiatric disorders. The findings revealed coordinated changes linking gut microbes, brain networks and symptoms—supporting the development of AI-assisted diagnosis and personalized therapies.

A team of researchers shows that a rare and extreme annular warming pattern in the tropical Pacific, combined with the accumulation of warm water in the upper western Pacific in spring 2026, will collectively drive a super El Niño event toward the end of this year.

A research paper by scientists from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China developed a water-responsive self-curling adhesive conduit to achieve adaptive wrapping and suture-free repair for peripheral nerve injury (PNI).

The new research paper, published on Mar. 27 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed an innovative water-responsive self-curling adhesive conduit inspired by pinecone scale deformation, offering a transformative suture-free solution for PNI repair.

A review paper by scientists from Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Science provided a comprehensive overview of cyborg animals within the framework of animal taxonomy, summarizing the current state of research from a zoological perspective.

The new research paper, published on Mar. 26 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, delivers a systematic, holistic overview of cyborg animals—revolutionary biohybrid robots that merge living organisms innate biological capabilities with artificial electromechanical control, addressing the fundamental limitations of traditional rigid silicon-based robots.
