The First International Conference on Cyborg and Bionic Systems provide a free, open, and diverse platform for experts, scholars, students and industry professionals from the fields of robotics, biomedical engineering, neural engineering, and related domains. The conference aims to advance the development and real-world application of cutting-edge technologies.
Sound is a powerful source of information.
By training algorithms to identify distinct sound signatures, sound can reveal what a person is doing, whether it's cooking, vacuuming or washing the dishes. And while it's valuable in some contexts, using sound to identify activities comes with privacy concerns, since microphones can reveal sensitive information.
To allow audio sensing without compromising privacy, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University developed an on-device filter, called Kirigami, that can detect and delete human speech segments collected by audio sensors before they're used for activity recognition.
A research team from Westlake University has published a groundbreaking study in Science Bulletin, demonstrating the innovative use of thin-film deposition technology to create micron-scale metal patterns on the surface of tardigrades, often regarded as the "toughest creatures on Earth." This breakthrough not only adorns them with a "metallic armor" but also realizes the intriguing concept of artificially controlling biological movement. The study extends the boundaries of traditional fabrication techniques. Where precision nanotechnology intersects with billions of years of evolutionary wisdom, this extraordinary convergence may spark a technological singularity that redefines the boundaries of life and machine.
A new study reveals how people worldwide turn to song lyrics—not just melodies—as a powerful tool for coping with grief, loss, and emotional distress. Researchers found a strong connection between lyrical themes and emotional goals like reducing loneliness or finding comfort. Unlike musical elements such as tempo or harmony, lyrics were consistently linked to listeners’ psychological needs. The study underscores the vital emotional role of words in music and suggests practical applications for mental health support and therapeutic settings.
A groundbreaking integrated encryption and communication (IEAC) framework, enabled by end-to-end deep learning, has achieved a record-breaking single-channel secure transmission rate of 1 Terabit per second (Tb/s) over a 1,200-km optical fibre link. Published in National Science Review, this innovation optimizes mutual information for legal users while minimizing leakage to eavesdroppers, offering a scalable solution for high-speed, secure data transmission in the era of big data and AI.
In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, a team of researchers employed systematic archaeobotanical flotation and AMS radiocarbon dating at two sites in Romania: Baia-În Muchie and Dobrovăț. It provides valuable data on the chronology of millet cultivation in the SW Eastern European Plain and enhances our understanding of early East-West exchanges and their impact on human-environment interactions in critical regions.
Recently, Professor Peng Xue's team from the Beijing Computational Science Research Center published an article titled "Quantum cooling engine fueled by quantum measurements" in Science Bulletin. The research team employed a linear optical platform to simulate a two-stroke, two-qubit engine. In the experiment, they demonstrated various quantum thermodynamic processes by tuning the energy level spacing of the working substance and adjusting the temperature parameters of the bath. They successfully realized a quantum cooling engine driven by quantum measurements and discovered the influence of entanglement on the energy exchange between the working substance and the measurement apparatus.
