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... -
Oct 28, 2021Buoy-borne Underwater Dark Field Imaging System Improves Marine Plankton Monitoring CapabilityA research team led by Dr. LI Jianping from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a buoy-borne underwater dark field imaging system t... Mesoplankton refers to plankton with a body size between 200–20,000 μm. Since mesoplankton are the key components of coastal ecosystems, their abundance and composition can promptly reflect envir... -
Oct 27, 2021Underwater Image Super-resolution: an AI-based Technology for Clearer Plankton Observation in Deep OceanDr. Jianping Li’s group from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel image super-resolution method for restoring resolutions o... Being inherently limited by the wave properties of light, underwater microscope and camera compromise between their imaging resolution and field of view for in situ observations. In order to enlarg... -
Oct 27, 2021Training AI Classifier to Better Sort Plankton ImagesIn a recent paper published by Dr. Li Jianping from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his collaborators from Xiamen University in ICCV (Int... Although AI algorithms have achieved quite some progress in plankton image recognition, most of them can only deal with limited number of known classes. In reality, however, the ocean scientists wi...
