Research has shown that ferroptosis can overcome chemotherapy resistance induced by apoptosis, making the combination of chemotherapy and ferroptosis a very promising strategy for cancer treatment. However, the high levels of glutathione in the tumor environment and insufficient intracellular iron content limit the anticancer effects mediated by ferroptosis. Recently, a study published in Nano Research utilized the tumor environment to achieve a "multi-machine integrated" combined strategy, enhancing the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy and ferroptosis. The study was published in Nano Research with the DOI of 10.26599/NR.2025.94907298.

A research paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology proposed an amplification-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor using the CRISPR/Cas system for ultrasensitive detection of the specific gene fadA from F. nucleatum at femtomolar levels.

The new research paper, published on May. 1 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, provide the CRISPR/Cas12a system for the selective detection of fadA, a specific gene in F. nucleatum, followed by the verification of fluorescence and ECL analysis.

The Ag nanoparticles were deposited on the hBN surface, and the synergistic effect of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets and silver nanoparticles was utilized to achieve superlubricity with very low coefficient of friction and wear rate.

Researchers from Beijing Institute of Control Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, and Macau University of Science and Technology have developed a solar X-ray detector (SXD) that features a wide energy range and a high count rate. The main goal of the instrument is to study X-ray spectral characteristics of solar flare eruption with high accuracy. These measurements require high throughput and excellent spectral resolution. The flight model integrated on the MSS-1B satellite has demonstrated remarkable in-orbit performance, achieving an energy resolution of 138 eV for solar X-ray detection. The detector's novel electronic architecture, meticulously engineered to meet stringent space mission requirements, enables reliable operation even during extreme solar events up to X-class flare intensities. Comparative analysis with existing solar X-ray instruments reveals that this new detector offers significant advancements, including enhanced energy resolution and reduced signal peaking time, which indicates a higher measurable solar flare level. 

A new study has unveiled a new method for wirelessly powering implantable medical devices (IMDs) using a pre-charged capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT).

The Second International Conference on Space Science and Technology was successfully held in Suzhou, China, from May 22 to 24, 2025. Over 300 experts, scholars, and corporate representatives from more than ten countries gathered to discuss cutting-edge research and innovations in the aerospace field. The conference, hosted by Beijing Institute of Technology and co-organized by several institutions, featured a main forum and four sub-forums with over 30 high-quality reports on topics like deep space exploration, intelligent aerospace technology, and aerospace information processing. It aimed to foster global cooperation and cross-disciplinary innovation in space science and technology. The next venue of the conference will be held at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore from July 22 to 24, 2025.

A research paper just published in Science China Life Sciences reports that claudin-11 plays an important role in influenza virus endocytosis by disrupting the interaction between the endocytic receptor metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 and potassium calcium-activated channel subfamily M alpha 1, and by disassembling the polymerized F-actin to facilitate influenza virus-containing clathrin-coated pit maturation.

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, an international team of researchers present the new details about the enhancement of aragonite precipitation during photosynthesis in Skeletonema costatum in artificial and natural seawater. By directly measuring cell surfaces, it reveals the mechanism of diatom-mediated promotion of CaCO₃ precipitation. Based on this mechanism, it suggests that diatom-mediated calcification can occur in the oceans, which is supported by relevant phenomena. The newly found calcification pathway connects particulate inorganic and organic carbon flux, facilitating the reassessment of marine carbon export fluxes and CO₂ sequestration efficiency. And this discovery may have significant implications for evaluating marine carbon cycling and predicting the impacts of future ocean acidification.
