The study reveals that Migrion, a chimeric structure of virus and migrasome as an unprecedented unit of viral transmission that integrates viral dissemination with cell migration, providing fresh perspectives on infection dynamics.

In the quest for sustainable and efficient water treatment solutions, a new study titled "Enhanced Machine Learning Prediction of Biochar Adsorption for Dyes: Parameter Optimization and Experimental Validation" is making significant strides. This research leverages the power of machine learning to optimize the adsorption capabilities of biochar for dye removal, offering a promising approach to tackling water pollution.

Diesel engines have long been a cornerstone of transportation and industry, but their emissions have posed significant environmental and health challenges. A new study titled "Advancements in Diesel Emission Reduction Strategies: A Focus on Water-in-Diesel Emulsion Technology" explores innovative solutions to reduce harmful emissions while enhancing engine performance. This research delves into the potential of water-in-diesel emulsion (WiDE) technology, offering a promising pathway to a cleaner, more efficient future.

Shipping is a vital component of global trade, but its environmental impact extends beyond the well-known emissions of carbon dioxide. A new study titled "Global Distribution and Warming Effect of Brown Carbon from Shipping Emissions" sheds light on the often-overlooked role of brown carbon in contributing to global warming. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the distribution and radiative effects of brown carbon, a pollutant emitted by ships that has significant climate implications.

In August, the first issue of Volume 31 of Tsinghua Science and Technology was released on SciOpen, an academic publishing platform developed by Tsinghua University Press. This move marks a new chapter for the journal.

Bodily functions rise and decline with age, and the brain is no exception. However, the exact trajectory of our brain activity during controlled behavior remains unclear. A recent study published in Science Bulletin by Zhenghan Li et al. explores this issue. They found that brain activities related to cognitive control follow an inverted U-shape in the whole lifespan, peaking between ages 27 and 36. These insights may help develop strategies for enhancing brain health and optimizing cognitive function across various age groups.

Researchers identified a heat-stable and agriculturally applicable resistance gene against root-knot nematodes and established an approach for rapid characterization of complex resistance genes by integrating comparative genomics and genome editing.
