HEFEI, JAN. 20 --The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), often referred to as China's "artificial sun," achieved a significant scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for a remarkable 1,066 seconds on Monday. This accomplishment sets a new world record and represents a notable breakthrough in the pursuit of fusion power generation. Notably, the duration of 1,066 seconds is considered as a key step in fusion research.

AbstractMicroperforated panel acoustic absorbers (MPPAs) are advanced sound absorption technologies for noise control across diverse environments. However, as resonant absorbers, they exhibit multiple resonance bands, with higher-order bands often neglected due to bandwidth narrowing effects. This study systematically examines the bandwidth narrowing effect in higher-order bands and explores methods for suppression.

Credit: An CaoResearchers developed a method to fabricate pure gold microsphere arrays for advanced electronics, improving connection reliability and micro-display performance, with promising applications in high-resolution displays. The research findings were published in Nature Communications. As electronic devices get smaller, it’s becoming harder to achieve high-quality connections that are both reliable and safe from short circuits.

ResultsSeveral studies [18,19,20] have demonstrated that age, gender, vaccination status, admission Ct value, symptom, and comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease may be associated with viral detoxification duration and could contribute to prolonged shedding of SARS-CoV-2. We included these features in our research.

To establish an animal model with the CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Atp7b point mutation (p.R778L), a single guide RNA (sgRNA) was designed to direct the Cas9 protein to cleave DNA at the p.R778 site (Additional file 1: Fig. S1A). CRISPR/Cas reagents (Cas9 mRNA, sgRNA, and donor oligonucleotides) were injected into the fertilized mouse zygotes. The zygotes were immediately transferred to pseudo-pregnant female mice and the pups were genotyped (Additional file 1: Fig. S1B).

AbstractThe Ca2+/Mg2+/Zr4+-substituted Gd3Ga5O12 (SGGG) crystal is widely used as magneto-optical substrate, such as preparation of YIG series thin films by liquid phase epitaxy. Adaptation of the two is the most common problem in substrate applications. It’s important to summarize the behavior of growth for SGGG.
