Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a high-performance, reusable, all-solid-state magnesium-air rechargeable battery that prevents electrolyte leakage and exhibits remarkable resistance to chloride-induced degradation. The battery was realized by combining an inexpensive, readily available magnesium-metal anode, a porous nitrogen-doped graphene cathode, and a solidified magnesium chloride-containing electrolyte, and it demonstrates excellent performance over repeated cycles.

A research paper by scientists at King’s College London presented SimTac, a physics-based simulator for vision-based tactile sensors with biomorphic geometries, capable of generating accurate optical and mechanical responses in real time.

The research paper, published on Feb 24, 2026 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.

FAU has received a U.S. Air Force T-1A Jayhawk Mixed Reality and 3D Motion flight simulator through an in-kind grant from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The motion-enabled, open-architecture system replicates real flight conditions for high-risk, cost-effective experimentation. It will support cross-disciplinary work in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, cybersecurity, robotics and systems engineering. The simulator provides hands-on training opportunities for students and faculty, fosters collaboration with industry and federal partners, and establishes FAU as a hub for experimentation in next-generation autonomous and AI-enabled systems.

As an innovative integrated practice in the field of digital traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), TCM Phenomics 2.0 deeply integrates the core technologies and values of digital medicine. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and medical digital twins, it addresses the developmental bottlenecks of the first-generation TCM phenomics, and constructs a systematic closed-loop diagnosis and treatment system. It not only upgrades TCM diagnosis and treatment toward digitization and standardization, but also builds a pivotal bridge for the integration of TCM and Western medicine, pioneering an entirely new paradigm for the advancement of precision medicine.
