Research progress on radioactive quantum dots for biomedical applications
Tsinghua University PressAdvances in precision oncology necessitate tools capable of effectively imaging and treating deep-seated tumours. Radioactive quantum dots (RQDs) fulfil this requirement by creating self-luminescent probes through the unique fusion of quantum dots’ (QDs) tunable optical properties with the radiological characteristics of radioactive isotopes. This design enables multimodal imaging and synergistic therapy within deep tissues, overcoming the penetration depth limitations of conventional light sources.

New review maps advances in sea-land breeze research: identification, observation, and interacting factors
Science China PressIn a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, a team led by Professor Chuanfeng Zhao from Peking University presents a comprehensive review of global sea-land breeze research. The study systematically synthesizes recent advances in identification methods, key observational benchmarks, and the complex meteorological and non-meteorological factors that govern these coastal wind systems. The authors highlight that future breakthroughs will depend on improving spatiotemporal precision and clarifying how aerosols influence sea-land breeze dynamics through micro-physical mechanisms.

Letting light take extra laps: mode circulation unlocks a broadband, energy-efficient waveguide electro-optic comb
Chinese Society for Optical EngineeringWaveguide-based electro-optic (E-O) frequency combs are prized for their flexible pump wavelength, tunable repetition rate and near-100% conversion efficiency, but their spectral span is usually limited to a few nanometers. Researchers now report a broadband waveguide E-O comb based on "mode circulation": a single beam is recirculated through the same phase-modulation region eight times as four distinct waveguide modes (TE0–TE3). Enabled by a Z-propagation mode multiplexer that suppresses mode hybridization in anisotropic lithium-niobate-on-insulator waveguides, the device boosts the modulation index by ~7.5×, generating 128 comb lines across 25.6 nm at 25 GHz with an effective half-wave voltage of just 1.24 V and only 7 dB on-chip loss.

A novel strategy for PDGFRβ detection and TKI therapy monitoring
ResearchA team led by Zuo Tingting from Yili Normal University, in collaboration with Professors Zhang Chao and Cao Xiaolong from Southern Medical University, has developed a novel fluorescence-switchable nanoprobe based on black phosphorus nanosheets. This probe enables real-time, dynamic, and visualized detection of the key target PDGFRβ, and accurately tracks changes in receptor expression during tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment, providing a new strategy for evaluating the efficacy of tumor-targeted therapy and predicting drug resistance.
The related findings have been published in the internationally renowned journal Research (2026, Volume 9) under the title "Nano-Enabled Fluorescence Switching: A Novel Strategy for PDGFRβ Detection and TKI Therapy Monitoring".

New physics-informed AI model masters complex aerodynamics at high angles of attack
SciOpenA new study published in the Chinese Journal of Aeronautics (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cja.2025.103943) tries to break this deadlock. Researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University and Tsinghua University have developed a novel modeling framework called differential equation model long-short term memory neural network (DEM-LSTM). This hybrid approach integrates the theoretical rigor of differential equations with the nonlinear mapping capabilities of LSTM neural network, offering a solution that is both accurate and physically interpretable.
