"Chinese scientists turn tumours into ‘pork’ in radical cancer treatment
Researchers in China have used the body’s own immune system to kill cancerous cells in a pioneering new therapy
[...]Scientists have turned the same immune response that rejects organ transplants to their advantage – to target cancer. In a trailblazing fusion of immunology and ingenuity, a team of Chinese researchers have been engineering tumours to mimic pork, thereby triggering the body’s immune system to attack them with unprecedented precision. Their pioneering study, published in the journal Cell on January 18, uses a genetically modified virus to “disguise” cancer cells as foreign pig tissue, sparking a hyperacute immune rejection response that attacks the tumours while leaving healthy cells untouched.[...]"

For the first time in the world, Prof. Pan Jianwei of USTC and his colleagues realized QKD (quantum key distribution) between a nano satellite in orbit and a mobile ground station. This laid the foundation for deploying "constellations of nano quantum satellites" to have fully global coverage in the future.

据中国科学技术大学网站3月20日消息,中国科学技术大学潘建伟、彭承志、廖胜凯等,联合济南量子技术研究院、中国科学院上海技术物理研究所、微小卫星创新研究院等单位组成的研究团队,在国际上首次实现量子微纳卫星与小型化、可移动地面站之间的实时星地量子密钥分发,在单次卫星通过期间实现了多达1百万比特的安全密钥共享。在此基础上,联合团队和南非斯坦陵布什(Stellenbosch)大学科研团队合作,在中国和南非之间相隔12900多公里的距离上建立了量子密钥,完成对图像数据“一次一密”加密和传输。该工作为实用化卫星量子通信组网铺平了道路。相关研究成果于2025年3月20日在线发表在国际学术期刊《自然》杂志上。

通信安全是国家信息安全和经济社会发展的重要基础。基于量子密钥分发的量子保密通信是迄今唯一可实现“信息论可证”安全的通信方式,将大幅提升现有信息系统的安全传输水平。目前,基于光纤链路的城域城际量子通信已发展成熟并初步得以应用。为实现远距离乃至全球化的量子保密通信,需要克服光纤存在的固有损耗以及难以覆盖全球的问题。利用卫星平台进行自由空间量子密钥分发,能够有效克服这些限制,实现全球范围的量子保密通信。

中国科大与多家科研机构协同攻关,在星地量子通信方面开展了一系列开创性研究。中国科大牵头研制的“墨子号”量子科学实验卫星在国际上首次实现了星地量子密钥分发,并与地面光纤量子保密通信骨干网“京沪干线”构成首个天地一体化广域量子保密通信网络,充分验证了基于卫星实现全球化量子通信的可行性。由于“墨子号”量子卫星无法直接覆盖全球且成本较高,发射多颗低成本量子微纳卫星并实现组网运行,已成为构建高效率、实用化、全球化量子通信网络的迫切需求。

朝向这一目标,研究团队成功突破了低成本小型化诱骗态量子光源技术、复合激光通信的实时密钥提取技术、基于卫星姿控的高精度跟瞄等关键技术,完成星载量子密钥分发载荷、量子微纳卫星平台研制,载荷重量约23kg,相比“墨子号”降低约一个数量级,光源频率提升约6倍,密钥生成时效性由数天时间完成提高到单轨实时成码。在系列技术突破的基础上,团队研制的国际首颗量子微纳卫星“济南一号”于2022年7月27日成功发射入轨。研究团队进一步发展了小型化地面站系统,相对第一代重约13吨的地面站,重量降低了约两个数量级达到低于100kg的水平,能够快速部署,可适应城市、山区、高原等各类环境,原理上已可支撑移动量子通信。

在本研究工作中,量子微纳卫星与济南、合肥、南山、武汉、北京、上海、南非斯坦陵布什等地面光学站建立光链路,实现实时星地量子密钥分发实验。星载量子诱骗态光源平均每秒发送2.5亿个信号光子,结合上下行光通信实现密钥的实时提取,一次过轨对接实验可生成250kbits-1Mbits的安全密钥,平均成码率可达3kbps。以卫星作为可信中继,研究团队进一步实现了地面相距12900km北京站和南非斯坦陵布什站之间的密钥共享和数据中继。

该研究工作为未来发射多颗微纳卫星构建“量子星座”奠定了坚实基础,不仅为大规模实用化量子通信网络的建设提供了关键技术支撑,更为量子互联网的全球部署开辟了新的发展路径。

That’s crazy. J-20 still used Swiss machine tools.

Chinese scientists created a robot for swimming, gliding and crawling at the depth of the Mariana Trench. Deep sea robots usually have to be large and heavy with strong structures for the high pressures and freezing temperatures down under. This small robot by BUAA, CAS and Zhenjiang University is only 1.5kg in weight and less than 0.5m in length.

在地球最深处马里亚纳海沟的万米深渊,压强相当于一个指甲盖上站了一头一吨重的犀牛,温度接近冰点。此前,能到达这里的深海机器人,多为重量达数吨的刚性体大型潜航器。如今,一台身长不到50厘米、体重仅1500克的“小精灵”来到这一曾经的小型机器人“禁区”,为深海探索带来更多可能性。相关研究成果于3月20日发表于《科学·机器人》。

这一能在万米深海实现多模态运动的小型深海可变形机器人由北京航空航天大学机械工程及自动化学院研究团队联合中国科学院深海科学与工程研究所、浙江大学历时6年共同研发。研究团队从蝙蝠鱼的运动模式中汲取灵感,设计出能够游动、滑翔、爬行的多模态机器人。

“10000米深海压强对于小机器人来说,相当于压了一座小型冰山。”北航研究团队负责人文力教授说,在深海的高压下,柔性驱动器材料的模量增加,会导致驱动幅值与速度的衰减,削弱机器人的运行性能。为了克服这一挑战,研究团队设计出了全新的深海驱动装置,利用双稳态手性超材料结构在两个稳态之间切换时的快速突跳,实现高效驱动。该装置巧妙地将深海高压对软材料的负面影响转化为提升机器人驱动性能的助力,克服了以往柔性材料驱动器在深海环境下性能衰减的困难。

同时,面对深海2℃—4℃的低温环境,研究团队巧妙利用在低温环境下可实现高频循环主动变形的形状记忆合金进行拮抗驱动。利用形状记忆合金的形状记忆效应,科研人员通过周期性电流加热,使一对形状记忆合金弹簧主动交替收缩,驱动手性超材料单元的双稳态突跳切换,实现驱动器的快速循环摆动。随后,他们通过有限元仿真、实验室环境测试及高压罐实验等方法,系统优化了驱动器关键结构参数,最终实现了静水压力对驱动性能的正向强化,显著提升了驱动器的摆动速度与幅值。

目前,该团队正朝着深海柔性机器人+AI的研究方向努力,并将致力于聚焦提升深海小型机器人的续航能力和运动效率,实现更大范围的深海探测和监测,为海洋资源开发、考古发掘、环境监测等提供方案。正如团队成员、北航机械工程及自动化学院博士研究生、深潜人员左宗灏所说:“深海科研的魅力在于未知带来的挑战,每次下潜的机会都弥足珍贵,但永远相信只要敢迈步,海底也会有光。”
