HEPS Ring Stores High-intensity Beams

Researchers at China's Institute of High Energy Physics made major progress in the construction of a high energy photon source (HEPS), the first high-energy synchrotron radiation light source in China. On August 19, the institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced that the HEPS storage ring had successfully stored 35 electron beams with a current intensity of 12 mA. It marks the HEPS accelerator entering the fast track of beam modulation.

Brain-inspired AI Network Model Developed

A team of Chinese scientists have developed a novel brain-inspired AI model that can compute without requiring the high level of energy that silicon-based processors require. The model bridges the gap between big, externally complex AI networks and the small, internally complex workings of the brain.

Breakthrough in Pulmonary Fibrosis Research

Researchers from Tsinghua University and Peking University have discovered a close correlation between the distribution pattern of intermediate alveolar stem cells and the progression of fibrotic changes. It can be used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Brain-Computer Interface Helps the Speech Impaired

In a clinical trial and study supported by U.S. scientists, a brain-computer interface that translates brain signals into speech with up to 97 percent accuracy has been developed. It offers a significant breakthrough for individuals with speech impairments due to conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

AI Algorithm Diagnoses Illness from the Tongue

A team of engineering researchers collaborating between the University of South Australia and Iraq's Middle Technical University have built a new artificial intelligence machine learning model that is capable of accurately diagnosing certain illnesses by simply looking at a patient's tongue.
