Papyrus-inspired 3D printed metamaterials achieve superior mechanical performance
HEP Data Cooperation Journals
Inspired by the triangular morphology of papyrus, researchers developed a biomimetic lattice metamaterial that redistributes stress from nodes to struts, achieving up to 63% increase in compressive strength and 32% enhancement in energy absorption.

Tomato seedlings reveal their hidden cell signals
Nanjing Agricultural University The Academy of ScienceBefore a seedling reaches light, it must grow through darkness with speed and precision. A new tomato study reveals how this hidden phase is controlled at cellular resolution, showing that ethylene and target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling act differently across tissues and cell types.

Paderborn researchers have, for the first time, experimentally demonstrated the recurrence of Rabi oscillations in semiconductor quantum dots
Universität Paderborn
Physicists at Paderborn University have, for the first time, experimentally demonstrated the so-called ‘return’ of Rabi oscillations in semiconductor quantum dots. The phenomenon, which was first predicted theoretically back in 2007, describes the decrease in the emission intensity of the quantum dots, which are initially dampened by interactions with the lattice vibrations of a solid (phonons). Only through sufficiently strong optical excitation can the original intensity be restored and the oscillation ‘reawaken’: an effect that previously existed only in idealised theoretical models and has now been proven. The results, published in the prestigious journal *Physical Review Letters*, mark a decisive step towards scalable quantum applications.

Relativistic polarized mid-infrared optical source in magnetized plasma
Ultrafast Science
A research team at the College of Science, National University of Defense Technology has proposed a compact way to generate and manipulate relativistic mid-infrared light using transversely magnetized plasma. Their studies demonstrated that a magnetized plasma can function as a relativistic waveplate, enabling both frequency conversion and polarization manipulation within a single laser-plasma interaction process. The advance points to a new class of plasma optical components capable of operating in regimes far beyond conventional optical devices.

Gut microbes as cancer drivers: New multi‑omics review unmasks their hidden role in colorectal cancer
China Anti-Cancer Association
The gut microbiome is not a mere spectator but an active player in colorectal cancer (CRC), driving tumor initiation and progression through direct bacterial attacks, metabolite signals, and genetic manipulation.

Immune webs shape reperfusion injury
Burns & Trauma
Restoring blood flow can save tissue after heart attack, stroke, transplantation, and severe injury, but it can also trigger a damaging second wave.

Computational pipeline boosts broad-spectrum Ebola antibody optimization
Research
A team led by Professor Wei Yang at the National Institute of Pathogen Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, has developed a computational-experimental pipeline that synergistically optimizes antibody framework regions (FR) and complementarity-determining regions (CDR). Using this approach, they engineered two pan-Ebola antibodies with markedly improved neutralization breadth and potency. The study, titled “Computational Design of Broad-Spectrum Ebola Antibodies through Framework and Complementarity-Determining Regions Synergistic Optimization” is published in Research.
