Laser Pulses Flip Magnet Polarity, Opening Path to Tunable Optoelectronics
Swiss researchers reported in Nature that laser pulses can reverse the polarity of a specialised ferromagnet, demonstrating all‑optical control beyond ferrimagnetic materials. The finding points to faster, potentially lower‑energy ways to program magnetic states, with implications for memory, spintronics and reconfigurable optoelectronic circuits, though engineering challenges remain.
Chinese Team Demonstrates 2D Semiconductor Radio in Space, Claims Leap in Satellite Lifetimes
Fudan University researchers have flown a 2D semiconductor RF communications system on the Fudan-1 satellite and published results in Nature claiming dramatic reductions in power and mass and a theoretical device lifetime of 271 years. While the demonstration is an important milestone for radiation-hardened electronics, practical satellite lifetimes remain constrained by other subsystems and will require broader validation before reshaping industry norms.
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.
Fudan Scientists Weave a ‘Chip’ into Thread — A Step Toward Truly Smart Fabrics
A Fudan University team published a Nature paper describing a 'fiber chip' — polymer fibers that contain multilayer integrated circuits — which could enable fabrics with embedded electronics. The work is a lab-stage milestone with significant promise for wearables, medical devices and brain–machine interfaces, but major engineering, manufacturing and regulatory hurdles remain.
