UESTC researchers develop a new phased array antenna for millimeter-wave communications
Journal of Electronic Science and TechnologyAs the demand for high-speed wireless communication grows, millimeter-wave frequencies, such as the 27 GHz band, have become increasingly important for 5G and beyond. However, operating at these frequencies poses technical challenges, such as high propagation losses and atmospheric interference. Now, researchers from China have developed an innovative 2-bit phased array antenna that effectively addresses these issues. Its compact, cost-effective design offers a promising and experimentally verified solution for the future of wireless communications.

Superconducting single-photon detectors get sub-millikelvin temperature resolution
Science China PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
Recently, the group of Prof. Labao Zhang of Nanjing University, together with the group of researcher Haiyong Gan of the National Institute of Metrology, China, have developed a new thermal radiation detection technology that can achieve sub-millikelvin temperature resolution by using the advantages of high sensitivity and low noise of the superconducting single photon detector. The technology only requires a radiation power below the picowatt level, providing a solution for high resolution thermal detection and imaging in ultra-low-light scenarios. The relevant work was named ‘Sub-millikelvin-resolved superconducting nanowire single-photon detector operates with sub-pW infrared radiation power’ and was published in the 1st 2025 issue of the journal of National Science Review (NSR).

Integrative proteogenomic and pharmacological landscape of acute myeloid leukaemia
Science China PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
In a paper published in Science Bulletin, a Chinese team of scientists reported a comprehensive proteogenomic analysis of 101 Chinese AML patients, including proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses and an in vitro drug sensitivity analysis in addition to whole exome and transcriptome sequencing. They integrated multi-omic data to predict and validate patient prognosis and drug sensitivity. They revealed three subtypes based on proteome, where S-II and S-III characterized mainly by metabolism and could benefit from Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, but S-I enriched in tumour proliferation could not. Further correlation analysis of 77 drugs sensitivity with proteomic and phosphoproteomic data uncovered the therapeutic strategies of cytarabine-disulfiram and PI3K inhibitor-PDK inhibitor combinations. Overall, the research provide a resource for understanding the molecular alterations in AML and developing potential therapeutic strategies.

Transforming CO2 and H2O into fuel and chemicals using light-driven Zn-GaN catalysts
Science China PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
A research team led by Prof. Baowen Zhou has developed a novel Zn-decorated GaN nanowire catalyst that converts CO2 and H2O into methane (CH4) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) using light. The main research was carried out by Dr. Muhammad Salman Nasir, achieving methane production rates of 189 mmol g–1 h–1 with a selectivity of 93.6% and excellent long-term stability for over 80 hours. This breakthrough provides a sustainable pathway to carbon-neutral energy and industrial chemical production.

Innovative 7-axis synchronization strategy for enhanced laser texturing of freeform surface
International Journal of Extreme ManufacturingPeer-Reviewed Publication
Researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) have proposed a 7-axis synchronization strategy for simultaneously realizing high accuracy, high efficiency and large scale in multi-axis linkage laser texturing of freeform surface, based on the unified control of a 5-axis linkage motion platform with a 2-dimensional galvanometer. And corresponding specialized machine tool implemented with the proposed strategy has been developed, which shows significantly promoted performance of laser texturing on freeform surface than the traditional 5-axis linkage strategy.
