Theanine, a unique amino acid responsible for tea's refreshing taste and calming effect, plays a central role in determining tea quality. 

In the past, patients with locally advanced liver tumors or invasive parasitic disease were believed as surgically “unresectable”, leaving only the oncological or palliative interventions as their remaining hope for consolation. 

A research paper by scientists at the Soochow University proposed a novel magnetically actuated device based on a hybrid electromagnetic coil and permanent magnet control system.

The research paper, published on Jun. 24, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented a hybrid magnetic actuation system that extends the functional capabilities of miniature ferrofluidic robot (MFR) through synergistic multi-physical interactions.

A research paper by scientists at the Shanghai University proposed an innovative approach to object property perception utilizing triboelectric–magnetoelastic sensing.

The research paper, published on Jul. 2, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented a multimodal tactile sensing device (MMTSD) based on triboelectric–magnetoelastic, which has anthropomorphic tactile sensation. This MMTSD effectively interfaces the triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) array with the MEG through silica gel, enabling it to stably perceive the properties of objects within an open environment.

In a study published in Nature, Prof. XIAO Zhengguo’s team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel strategy based on weakly space-confined, large-grain crystals of all-inorganic perovskite to prepare perovskite films with larger crystalline grains and higher temperature resistance. Researchers increased the brightness of perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) to over 1.16 million nits and extended their lifespan to more than 180,000 hours.

In a study published in Advanced Materials, a research team led by Academician YU Shuhong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a structure-function integrated design of nacre-mimetic alumina (Al2O3)-based (NMA) composites. This NMA composite material not only has unique color tunability and excellent wave transparency, but also achieves lightweight, high strength, high toughness, and outstanding impact resistance.

The main research focus of professor Sun laboratory is to define the role of Cullin RING ligases (CRLs) and protein neddylation in regulation of tumorigenesis and other biological processes.
