Researchers unveil a new Python-based assertion verification framework for agile hardware design, enabling real-time error detection with minimal area and performance overhead to streamline prototyping and boost reliability.

In a recent study published in Life Metabolism, researchers at Fudan University report that even after stopping the anti-obesity drug tirzepatide, Chinese obese individuals can maintain significant weight loss. Briefly, 152 Chinese adults who completed the full 52-week tirzepatide regimen (10 mg or 15 mg doses) were followed for an additional 26 weeks without any anti-obesity drugs or bariatric surgery.

Peking University, July 16, 2025: A research team led by Prof. Yang Yuchao from the School of Electronic and Computer Engineering at Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School has achieved a global breakthrough by developing the first sort-in-memory hardware system tailored for complex, nonlinear sorting tasks. Published in Nature Electronics, the study titled “A fast and reconfigurable sort-in-memory system based on memristors” proposes a comparator-free architecture, overcoming one of the toughest challenges in the field of processing-in-memory (PIM) technology.

Peking University, July 07, 2025: A research team led by Prof. Pan Feng from the School of Advanced Materials, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School has uncovered key mechanisms that govern how protons are stored and transported in aqueous batteries. The study provides critical insights that could lead to safer, faster-charging, and higher-capacity alternatives to today’s lithium-ion batteries. Published in Matter, a Cell Press journal, the study titled “Proton storage and transfer in aqueous batteries” reveals how hydrogen-bond network engineering enables efficient proton storage and transport.
