Mar 24, 2026New Method Proposed for Ultrarobust Underwater Kicking Phase Estimation for Robotic Exosuit-assisted DivingA study published in IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics and led by WANG Xiangyang's team from Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed an ultrarob... Assisting divers with robotic exoskeletons would increase their working efficiency and reduce the risk of accidents. Nonetheless, the synchronization of assistance with underwater movements has not... -
Mar 19, 2026Gut Phages Harbor Treasure Trove of Anti-CRISPR Proteins with Potential for Genome EditingA study published in Cell Host & Microbe on March 18 and led by Prof. MA Yingfei from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered a vast repertoire o... In the human gut, trillions of bacteria and their viral predators—phages—are locked in an ancient arms race. Bacteria deploy CRISPR-Cas immune systems to snip phage DNA, while phages counter with... -

Mar 06, 2026New Nuclear Relocation Mechanism of Cytoplasmic Metabolic Enzyme Enables Plants to Fine-tune Flavonoid ProductionA study published in Science Advances and led by Prof. ZHAO Qiao from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered a molecular "braking system" that h... Plants constantly adjust their metabolism to cope with changing environmental conditions. A key pathway involved in this process is the phenylpropanoid pathway which produces important compounds su... -
Mar 03, 2026Magnetofluids: A Breakthrough in Overcoming Clinical Challenges of Left Atrial Appendage OcclusionA study published in Nature on March 4 and led by Prof. XU Tiantian's team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with Prof. PAN Xiangbin's ... In left atrial appendage occlusion, traditional interventional techniques are confronted with challenges such as poor adaptability between metallic devices and the left atrial appendage, incomplete... -
Mar 02, 2026Largest High-precision 3D Facial Database Built in China, Enabling More Lifelike Digital HumansIn a study published in IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, a research team led by Prof. SONG Zhan from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Aca... In an elderly-care themed skit during the 2026 Spring Festival Gala (Chunwan), a lifelike android was modeled on actress CAI Ming. Why are humanoid robots becoming so lifelike and indistinguishable... -
Jan 28, 2026AAVLINK: A potent DNA-recombination method for large cargo delivery in gene therapyAAVLINK allows flexible gene segmentation design, achieves high-efficiency full-length gene reconstitution, and markedly reduces the production of aberrant truncated proteins compared with conventi... Delivery of therapeutic genes is essential for gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are a prime vector for carrying gene cargoes because of their superior gene segmentation flexibility and... -
Jan 22, 2026Knowledge-Driven Autonomous Materials Research via Collaborative Multi-Agent and Robotic SystemIn a study published in Matter, a research team led by Prof.YU Xuefeng from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a knowledge-driven mul... Traditional process to discover new materials is complex, time-consuming, and costly, which often requires years of a sustained effort. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have demonstr...
