An approach for detecting encrypted malware traffic via fully convolutional masked autoencoders
Higher Education PressCybersecurity has always been the focus of Internet research. Malware refers to software intentionally designed to harm computer systems, networks, or users by stealing, corrupting data, disrupting operations, or gaining unauthorized access. Existing malware traffic detection techniques rely on a sufficient amount of labeled data readily available for model training, limiting the capability of transferring to new malware detection.

Solvent-free revolution: Dry-coating electrode tech building a greener battery future
Science China PressIn a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Chemistry, a research team led by Prof. Hao Sun at Shanghai Jiao Tong University discussed the material designs and process optimization of dry-coating electrode fabrication toward sustainable battery production. The review identifies the key challenge of uneven component dispersion in solvent-free systems and introduces emerging strategies designed to effectively address this issue, including the use of composite binders, functional additives, and thermal-assisted processing. These advances enable the fabrication of electrodes that combine structural integrity with enhanced electrochemical performance, while simultaneously reducing manufacturing costs and energy consumption. By elucidating fundamental design principles and presenting practical pathways, this review contributes to the development of more efficient and environmentally sustainable battery technologies.

Tibet’s thawing lakes accelerate greenhouse gas release
KeAi Communications Co., Ltd.Peer-Reviewed Publication
A new review synthesizes research on Tibetan Plateau lakes, revealing that climate warming is turning these high-altitude ecosystems into major greenhouse gas sources. Melting permafrost and retreating glaciers feed thermokarst lakes, which are hotspots for methane emissions. The study calls for new models that include microbial mechanisms to predict and manage these emissions.

Transfer RNA fragment rewires metabolism, fueling colorectal cancer's spread to liver
Science China PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
A study published in Science Bulletin identifies tRF-Glu-TTC-013, a tRNA-derived fragment, as a key driver of colorectal cancer liver metastasis. The researchers found that the molecule promotes tumour progression by enhancing glutamate metabolic reprogramming through a newly defined CREB3L1–AMDHD1 pathway.
