China State Railway Group data reported in a Xinhua announcement shows that China’s high-speed rail network has passed 50,000 kilometers, after the launch of the Xi’an-Yan’an high-speed railway on December 26, 2025. The milestone marks a new scale for modern rail infrastructure, with a national system built from a single 2008 Olympic-era line into the…
A study in Nature Communications used live electron microscopy to watch lithium metal form inside a working battery cell. The team found that the salt dissolved in the battery liquid can shape lithium’s first moments of growth, including whether it spreads into a smooth layer or erupts into dangerous spikes. Researchers led by Zhiyuan Zeng…
A study in PNAS reports that researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed Void-X, a generative AI model that predicts how atoms pack inside protein-protein interfaces. The work gives scientists a new way to think about protein design at the smallest structural scale. Proteins drive much of life’s…
