The research team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University has developed a MOF-derived hierarchical porous TiO₂@NPC@S composite as a high-performance cathode for lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). This material addresses the issues of LSBs such as poor conductivity, volume expansion, and the "shuttle effect", showing high sulfur loading, excellent cycling performance, and rate capabilities, which offers a new approach for the design of LSB cathodes.

A team of researchers has unveiled a revolutionary ingestible bioimpedance sensing device capable of continuously and non-invasively monitoring the integrity of gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal barriers. 

A recent review has shed light on the transformative potential of acoustic technologies in the fields of biofabrication and tissue engineering.

A pioneering study has unveiled a cutting-edge solution to the challenges of indoor navigation with the introduction of a tightly coupled Visible Light Positioning (VLP) and Inertial Navigation System (INS). 

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT present extraordinary potential in promoting better language learning and teaching practice, such as timely feedback, ease of use, personalized support, simulations of the learning environment, and individualized recommendations on learning materials. However, a team of researchers in Hong Kong and Macao found that 45.9% of ChatGPT-generated feedback was rejected by second-language students, higher rejection rates for content-focused feedback (58.7%) than form-focused (41.3%).

Semantic communication, an emerging technology, has garnered considerable attention for its potential to enhance transmission efficiency. This approach emphasizes the precise transmission of semantic information rather than individual symbols or bits, facilitating purposeful information exchange for efficient transmission. Researchers have proposed a novel semantic communication transmission system using multimode fiber, achieving high spectral efficiency and demonstrating its effectiveness in sentiment analysis applications.

Quantum digital signatures (QDS) offer an information-theoretically secure solution for ensuring data integrity, authenticity, and non-repudiation. To address the challenges faced by QDS in its practical implementation, including high costs, large sizes, and low signature rates, Chinese scientists have proposed and validated a chip-integrated quantum signature network. Experimental results surpass all current state-of-the-art QDS experiments. This research paves the way for the large-scale deployment of quantum networks.
