Researchers introduce a group-driven initialization that fuses search history with graph modularity, boosting state-of-the-art local solvers for k-quasi-clique and k-plex without altering their search routines.

Milan, 13^th January 2025  - The Politecnico di Milano has created the first integrated and fully tunable device based on spin waves, opening up new possibilities for the telecommunications of the future, far beyond current 5G and 6G standards. The study, published in the journal Advanced Materials, was conducted by a research group led by Riccardo Bertacco of the Department of Physics of the Politecnico di Milano, in collaboration with Philipp Pirro of Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität and Silvia Tacchi of Istituto Officina dei Materiali - CNR-IOM.

A research team from the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) and Yinhe Hangtian has achieved a major advance in orbit mechanics by developing an analytical method capable of directly predicting spacecraft trajectories under third-body gravitational perturbations. This work, recently published in the Chinese Journal of Aeronautics, resolves a long-standing challenge in celestial dynamics and provides a new theoretical tool for deep-space exploration and autonomous spacecraft control.

The COSTA system pioneers cascade spatio-temporal attention plus memory-distilled iterative cross-modal alignment, cutting redundant video clutter and lifting dialogue response quality to new SOTA on long, dynamic videos.

SGR turns adversarial shortcuts into teachers, isolating invariant subgraph rationales and delivering the first XGL framework provably robust against spurious correlations on both synthetic and real-world graphs.

A MOF-derived hollow tubular g-C₃N₄/ZnIn₂S₄ S-scheme heterojunction has been developed for efficient photocatalytic nitric oxide (NO) conversion, achieving a high removal rate of 67.29% and superior selectivity toward non-toxic nitrate.

With global population growth and rising food demand, agriculture ensures food supply while bringing severe environmental problems. Among these, agricultural non-point source pollution (ANPSP) has become one of the major factors affecting water health and ecological security.

In the vast cotton fields of Xinjiang, plastic film covering technology has been a weapon for increasing yield—it conserves water, raises temperatures, and improves water utilization efficiency, significantly boosting cotton production in arid regions.
