Scientists have created a groundbreaking, fully implantable neurostimulator made entirely of soft hydrogel to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Unlike traditional rigid and wired implants, this wireless device gently wraps around the splenic nerve. It receives power through the skin to deliver electrical pulses that calm gut inflammation by rebalancing the immune system. In animal studies, the device significantly alleviated colitis symptoms without causing scar tissue formation, paving the way for a new class of soft, bioelectronic therapies for chronic diseases.

Scientists have developed a novel Cr-based single-atom catalyst that enables highly efficient hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production in acidic environments through an electrochemical process. This breakthrough, guided by molecular dynamics simulations, reveals a self-adjusting mechanism with the catalyst actively restructuring during the reaction, achieving exceptional selectivity that rivals or even surpasses that of conventional Co-based catalysts.

Recently, a research team led by Academician Lijun Wang at CIOMP under UCAS has systematically reviewed the latest advancements in transfer printing (TP) technology. The team detailed its practical applications in integrating III-V semiconductor devices into photonic integrated circuits (PIC), demonstrating its significant potential for developing high-performance, high-reliability PICs. Their work provides crucial theoretical guidance for improving transfer yield and precision, while also offering forward-looking insights into current technical challenges and future development directions for this technology.

An innovative CRISPR-Cpf1-endo-recombinase CauR co-edited platform was developed and successfully applied to the glutamate-producing strain Corynebacterium glutamicum S9114 for high-efficiency production of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc).

A study on the engineering of thermostable endo-polygalacturonase has opened up a new and efficient way for the production of functional oligosaccharides.

An electrode for structural batteries was developed by combining carbon nanotubes (CNT) with quartz woven fabric (QWF), demonstrating the potential for structural batteries applicable to the aerospace and defense industries.

Researchers from the National University of Defense Technology have developed a novel composite fiber Bragg grating using femtosecond laser technology, which effectively suppresses harmful Raman scattering in high-power fiber oscillator lasers. The composite fiber Bragg grating also makes laser systems more compact and stable, unlocking better performance for industrial processing, high-end manufacturing, and biomedicine.
