In the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, Chinese scientists have developed a new, highly efficient electrode that rapidly ejects gas bubbles during water electrolysis. The results were striking: the three-dimensional, plant-inspired design yielded up to 172.1% more hydrogen than standard flat electrodes of the same size.

Today, most of the salmon consumed in Japan is imported from countries like Chile and Norway, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. But just two decades ago, Japanese chum salmon made up a much larger share of domestic salmon consumption. Their numbers have declined sharply in recent years, and new research from Hokkaido University suggests that this decline may be linked to the loss of their natural habitats along their migratory routes.

In a new advance for next-generation microelectronics, researchers from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with their collaborators, have broken "thickness limit" by engineering ultrathin films of BiFeO₃ that exhibit a piezoelectric response more than four times greater than that of conventional forms of the material.

Four-way collaboration brings together world-leading AI and biological expertise to make AI-predicted protein complex structures openly available to the global scientific community

Medical imaging is important in healthcare; however, its overutilization can contribute to resource wastage and can cause harm to patients. While various guidelines are available for its appropriate utilization, their adoption remains a challenge. Now, a new study in Intelligent Medicine finds that domain-specific adaptation may help improve AI-assisted imaging recommendations, pointing to a new direction for value-based clinical decision support.
