Jan 17, 2022Intracellular Supramolecular Self-assembly Regulates Cellular FunctionThe review was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition on Jan. 17. Supramolecular self-assembly based on noncovalent interactions is considered as a key strategy for introducing intracellular synthetic biocompatible macromolecules. The synthetic macromolecules res... -
Jan 13, 2022New Genome Editing Tools for Human Gut MicrobiomeThe research group led by Prof. DAI Lei at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, published their work “CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing for human ... Bacteroides is the most abundant genus in the human gut microbiome and is regarded as a “window” into the gut microbiome. Bacteroides species have been associated with various diseases, such as o... -
Jan 12, 2022Give Surgeon Real Tactile Feeling via Newly Fiber Bragg Grating-Based Force SensorA research team led by Prof. WANG Lei from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently developed a sensor based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sen... The practice of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has grown radically in popularity, since it has a number of advantages over conventional surgery which makes it appealing.However, some problems fou... -
Jan 05, 2022Engineered Adhesion Makes Programmed Self-assembly of Bacteria PossibleThe team engineered cells to display nanobodies or antigens on their surfaces and cultured these cells separately in liquid cultures. Mixing the two populations in large quantities generated proces... Researchers from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported the programmed self-assembly of bacterial populations by engineered adhesion.T... -
Nov 19, 2021Accurate and Flexible: New Microrobotic Trajectory Tracking Method Using Broad Learning SystemA research team led by XU Sheng and XU Tiantian from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology Chinese Academy (SIAT) develop a new microrobot control method. The study has published in IEEE Tran... The magnetic microrobot with miniature size and the ability for swimming in the liquid with low Reynolds number has great application potential in targeted therapy since it can move in a narrow env... -
Nov 12, 2021A Coating Strategy Suitable for Neural Interface, Water Oxidation and Anti-biological ContaminationProf. WU’s team further developed a flower-shaped Pt nanocrystal with intensive high-surface area as an intermediate layer for accumulating IrOx (<3 wt% Ir) with enhanced adhesion, showing a multi... In recent years, the invasive and implantable devices have been well applied in cochlear implant, deep brain stimulation, visual prosthesis and other neural prostheses to diagnose or treat diseases... -
Nov 11, 2021Novel Ion Exchange Membrane Improves Performance of Vanadium Redox Flow BatteriesA research team led by Prof. LI Huiyun, Prof. YU Shuhui and Dr. YE Jiaye from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a hybrid membrane... The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is a promising sustainable energy storage system. In a VRFB cell, an ion exchange membrane (IEM) is used to prevent formation of a cathode/anode short circuit... -
Nov 08, 2021Research Discovers General Principle Organizes Phenotypically Diverse Bacteria during Collective MigrationDr. FU Xiongfei and his team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered a general principle that a self-generated "pushed driving f... Organisms living in large groups often have to move together in order to navigate, forage for food, and increase their roaming range. Such groups are often made up of distinct individuals that must...
