Professor Qian’s team verified the carbon fixation technology of microbial synergistic steel slag under the condition of flue gas in cement plant, which can greatly accelerate CO₂ fixation, significantly improve the activity of steel slag and achieve safe utilization, and clarified the mechanism of action of microorganisms.

Perovskite-structured BaFe_0.4Co_0.4Zr_0.1Y_0.1O_3-δ (BFCZY) exhibits proton-electron-oxygen ion triple conductions and high catalytic activity of oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at low temperatures. Although it has stability problems in a humid air environment, the degradation mechanism of BFCZY and the influences of temperature, steam content and polarization on its stability have been rarely studied. The activity and stability of the BFCZY oxygen electrode are significantly improved through heterointerface engineering by infiltrating the BaCoO₃ (BCO) catalyst. It is imperative to fill this research gap, as it is crucial for promoting the commercial development of reversible protonic ceramic electrochemical cells (R-PCECs).

In the field of Large Language Models(LLMs) vertical applications, the innovative direction of deeply integrating foundational LLMs with industrial scenarios has emerged. Researchers have developed an intelligent decision support system for CNC system fault diagnosis, utilizing LLMs and domain knowledge graph(KG) technologies. This advancement effectively overcomes the limitations of typical expert systems in symbolic reasoning efficiency and accuracy. The study, published in Engineering, provides insights and methods for the practical application of industrial large models.

New research from the University of Georgia is shedding light on how different countries are preparing for how AI will impact their workforces.

A new national guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for diagnosing, treating, and preventing pediatric respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in China. Addressing 12 clinical questions, it guides clinicians on diagnostic methods, oxygen therapy, use of interferon-alpha, and nirsevimab prophylaxis. The guideline discourages unnecessary medications and emphasizes supportive care and long-term monitoring. Developed by leading experts and published in Pediatric Investigation, it aims to standardize care, reduce hospitalizations, and reflect China’s RSV burden and seasonal trends.
