Breaking the Limits of In Vivo Imaging: RUSH3D Unveils 3D Biological Dynamics at the Mesoscale

A new mesoscale imaging paradigm integrates digital adaptive optics, scanning light-field microscopy, and deep learning to capture 3D cellular behaviors and functions across whole organs with unprecedented fidelity.For decades, biological imaging has been defined by a fundamental struggle between...

Decoding dengue transmission: linking host signals, vector infection, and symbiont-based control

A fragmented understanding of how mosquitoes locate infected hosts and support viral transmission has limited effective control strategies. Integrated insights into host-derived signals, extracellular vesicle–mediated infection, and symbiont-based interference now provide a mechanistic framework...

​Robert McRae of YMSC publishes major results on rationality of vertex operator algebras

Vertex operator algebras form a rigorous mathematical framework for two-dimensional conformal field theory and have deep connections with representation theory, low-dimensional topology, and quantum physics. A central goal in the field is to understand when a vertex operator algebra is strongly r...

Next-generation lithium battery punches well above its weight

An ultra-energy-dense battery incorporates an innovative fluorine-rich polymer electrolyte to achieve safer and more efficient energy storage. The range of electric vehicles (EVs) could potentially double if the latest advance in high-performance batteries detailed by Tsinghua researchers reac...

Breakthrough in distortion-free tissue transparency reveals neurons in 3D

A new technique makes tissue samples see-through without deforming them — offering unprecedented insights into neurons in their natural state. Microscopes have long been the biologist’s window into the body’s inner workings. But preparing tissue for imaging — whether by slicing it thinly or u...
