On April 10, Tsinghua University Press (TUP), the leading university press in China, and ResearchGate, the professional network for researchers, has announced an expansion of its Journal Home partnership, which was the first of its kind with a Chinese publisher last year. This expansion more than doubles TUP’s coverage, now including 11 open access titles.

A research paper by scientists at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine presented the application of Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM) for monitoring the progression of Type 2 Diabetes and assessing the efficacy of anti-cytokine immunotherapy.

A new study in Engineering shows that a biomass-based carbon aerogel named BCA-600 can be used in solar-driven photothermal conversion technology. It can efficiently dehydrate oily sludge and purify oily water, while also having the potential to reduce carbon emissions in the petroleum industry.

A paper published in Science Bulletin provides a detailed investigation of a series of six 2D D-A COFs to optimize the compatibility of D and A units for photocatalytic H2O2 synthesis.

This study presents a novel ultra-high temperature composite with superior ablation resistances up to 3000 °C for 900 s, utilizing a tailored ultra-high melting point HfC_0.76N_0.24 matrix reinforced with short carbon fibers. The ablation-resistant capability of this composite is over 14 times greater than that of HfC at 3000 °C. The mechanistic details of complex oxidation processes are elucidated in terms of chemical bonding and clusters evolutions, along with their relationship to cooperative oxygen atoms.

Various types of intergenerational support was differentially associated with older adults’ satisfaction, with significant disparities between living in a rural or urban area.

The electromagnetic responses of metamaterial microstructural units are typically described using classical polarization theory models from dielectric physics, such as the Lorentz and Drude models. However, there has been a notable absence of the Debye model, which holds significant importance in dielectric physics. Chinese scientists have now successfully uncovered a novel broadband electromagnetic response mechanism in metamaterial microstructures based on polarization theory - Debye relaxation.

A recent review paper in Engineering presents a new safety concept for next-generation aviation. As air traffic complexity rises and future civil aviation systems become more complex, this system-of-systems (SoS) safety concept aims to address new risks. It draws inspiration from the human immune system and outlines a three-phase development plan for aviation safety, potentially revolutionizing how we approach aviation safety management.
