Liang Deng's group at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently discovered that a dinuclear cobalt carbonyl complex [(Xantphos)Co₂(CO)₆] coordinated by the bidentate phosphine ligand Xantphos can effectively catalyze the selective anti-Markovnikov hydrosilylation reaction of terminal alkynes with tertiary silanes. In collaboration with Hui Chen's group at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, they conducted experimental and theoretical exploration of the reaction mechanism and found that the (Xantphos)(CO)Co site in the dinuclear cobalt catalyst can be viewed as a ligand, cooperating with the Co(CO)_n site to achieve the activation transformation of the covalent bond in the catalytic reaction. This research result was published in CCS Chemistry.

A new study has highlighted the crucial role of rhizospheric bacteria in regulating tomato plants' multinutrient traits under varying nitrogen and water conditions. 

Intersubgeneric hybridization barriers in water lilies have long impeded successful cross-breeding. 

Polyploid crops often display enhanced vigor, larger organs, and unique reproductive behaviors, making polyploidization a powerful breeding tool.

Although Alzheimer's disease is considered an illness of old age, a new study shows blood biomarkers can identify the risk for early-onset Alzheimer's, which develops before the age of 65, as early as age 24.Early detection and prevention remain crucial in managing early-onset Alzheimer's. With modern research and new technologies, doctors can now identify warning signs years, even decades, before symptoms appear.

Optical Torque serves as a core technology for the manipulation of micro- and nanoscale rotors and the investigation of cellular mechanics, playing a critical role in advancing biomedical research, precision measurement, and advanced manufacturing.

Gastric cancer remains one of the world’s leading causes of cancer deaths, yet the molecular steps driving its onset remain elusive.

Understanding the physics of nonlinear optical response in subwavelength plasmonic resonators is of fundamental importance for controlling light with light at the nanoscale. Researchers at City University of Hong Kong have now harnessed magnetic dipole resonances in an ultra-compact plasmonic nanocavity to achieve Lorentz-force-driven second-harmonic generation. This work suggests a novel mechanism beyond conventional dipole electric field enhancement, and it provides a versatile framework for nonlinear nanophotonics, paving the way for developing efficient nonlinear devices.

For brain tumors, radiology reports provide essential imaging perspectives while pathology reports deliver microscopic confirmation, but each type of report typically requires domain experts to interpret separately. This separation can make it difficult to form a consistent basis for diagnosis and to reliably link findings to patient survival. Leveraging the integrative capabilities of large language models (LLMs), both sources can now be analyzed within a unified framework, reducing fragmentation and improving the accuracy of diagnostic classification and survival prediction.

To address this, a team led by Dr. Zhuoqi Ma (1^st author) and Dr. Zhicheng Jiao (corresponding) from the Department of Radiology at Brown University and Brown University Health developed a large language model (LLM)-based pipeline that integrates radiology and pathology reports within a unified framework. By leveraging the integrative capabilities of LLMs, both sources can be analyzed together and improving the accuracy of diagnostic classification and survival prediction. Their findings demonstrate the potential of this approach to enhance diagnostic reliability and support precision neuro-oncology.
