Primate Brains Build Two Separate 'Spaces' to Generalise — A Clue for Smarter AI
A Chinese research team recorded macaque brains during rule‑learning tasks and found two independent neural representational spaces: one encoding stable decision logic and another encoding variable sensory features. The separation helps primates transfer abstract rules to new situations and suggests a biologically inspired design principle for improving AI generalisation.
Primate Brains Separate Stable Rules from Changing Senses — A Blueprint for More Flexible AI
Chinese researchers report that macaque brains form two independent neural representational spaces — one encoding stable decision rules and the other encoding current sensory specifics — enabling rapid transfer of learned rules to new tasks. Published in Nature Communications, the study suggests a biological model that could inform AI architectures for better generalisation and adaptability.
Natural Hydrogen Trapped in Tibetan Rocks Points to a New Low‑Carbon Energy Prospect for China
Chinese researchers have found natural hydrogen trapped in microscopic inclusions inside ophiolitic rocks on the Qinghai‑Tibet Plateau, the first such discovery in China. The finding signals a potential new, low‑carbon domestic hydrogen source but leaves open questions about scale, recoverability and environmental impact.
Chinese Researchers Report New Refrigeration Effect That Could Cut Data‑centre Carbon Costs
Chinese scientists have reported a new refrigeration phenomenon, the "dissolution‑pressure card effect," in Nature, which could inform low‑carbon cooling solutions for energy‑hungry data centres. The discovery is scientifically notable but requires engineering, validation and scale‑up before it can deliver concrete operational or climate benefits.
China Loses a Pioneer of Accelerator Physics: Wei Baowen Dies at 91
Wei Baowen, an eminent Chinese nuclear and accelerator physicist and academician, died in Lanzhou on 17 January 2026 at age 91. As chief engineer of China’s first heavy‑ion accelerator project and former director of the Lanzhou Heavy Ion Accelerator National Laboratory and the Institute of Modern Physics, Wei played a central role in building China’s accelerator science infrastructure and institutions.
Chinese Academy of Sciences Charts New Path for ‘Smart’ Liquid‑Metal Nanoparticles in Tumour Targeting and Drug Delivery
Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed how deformable liquid‑metal nanoparticles self‑assemble in tumours, fuse inside cells and evade lysosomal degradation—mechanisms that could enable more effective, controllable nanomedicines. The work offers both a blueprint for intelligent nanoparticle design and a reminder of translational challenges around safety, reproducibility and scale‑up.
