Groundbreaking research reveals the potential of stem cell-based therapies combined with biomaterials in effectively treating intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and thin endometrium (TE), two common causes of infertility.

Critical engineering applications, such as aerospace, defense technologies, and high-speed trains, require structural materials withstanding high strength and significant plastic deformation. However, most materials exhibit poor impact resistance, and it is urgent to develop advanced structural materials that can withstand high-speed impacts.

Deep-penetration light-triggered pyroptosis based on nanomedicine for tumor precision therapy still remains challenging. Towards this goal, Scientist in China reported a supramolecular engineering strategy to construct Pt(IV)-coordinated supra-(carbon dots) with NIR-activated photocatalytic capacity to trigger tumor pyroptosis, thereby evoking anti-tumor immune responses to suppress distant tumor and prevent cancer metastasis. The finding will open new avenues for precision phototherapy in future clinical oncology by supramolecular-mediated nanomedicine with deep-penetration light triggered pyroptosis.

Researchers from Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed an new strategy for designing highly efficient and cost-effective catalysts for electrochemical water splitting, a crucial process in the production of green hydrogen. The new catalyst based on nanoporous metallic glass exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic performance, requiring only 1.53 V bias to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm⁻² for overall water-splitting. This surpasses the current performance of commercial Pt/C || IrO₂ catalysts, which require 1.62 V.

A team led by Prof. ZHUANG Taotao and Prof. YU Shuhong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) developed an adaptable three-dimensional (3D) display panel using circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) devices.

Researchers from Peking University and collaborators have proposed a novel scheme to realize quantum controlled-Z (CZ) gates using a single gradient metasurface. This innovation enables high-density and multifunctional quantum integration on a chip, paving the way for efficient on-chip quantum information processing.

The fully connected quantum network with a wavelength division multiplexing architecture plays an increasingly pivotal role in quantum information technology, which aims to connect more users with less wavelength resource. Towards this goal, Scientist in China demonstrated a state-multiplexed scheme for quantum entanglement network that significantly increases user capacity without increasing the number of wavelength channels. The network topology has great potential for developing a scalable quantum network with significantly minimized infrastructure requirements.
