| 1 Reading cells by the light of chemistry 3197993 /english/2026/0901/c75270a3197993/page.psp Headlines For more than a century, microscopes have relied on a seemingly obvious principle: To see something, you have to shine something on it.But that illumination comes at a cost.Now, researchers in China have developed a way to produce super-resolution images without relying on external light excitation. Instead, the technique harnesses the faint light generated by chemical reactions.The approach, desc... 2026-09-01 /_upload/article/images/a6/d1/639a4ab04436941e731a0630dcf2/d56b2950-6ca6-495f-a97b-4c56147e264a.jpeg /_upload/article/images/a6/d1/639a4ab04436941e731a0630dcf2/d56b2950-6ca6-495f-a97b-4c56147e264a_s.jpeg (29) |
| 2 ZJU scientists solve a three-decade challenge in synthesizing chirality-controlled nanotubes 3191524 /english/2026/0724/c75270a3191524/page.psp Headlines For more than three decades, one of the biggest obstacles to unlocking the potential of transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) nanotubes has remained unresolved: how to precisely control their chirality during synthesis.Now, an international research team led by XIANG Rong from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Zhejiang University has achieved the first preferred synthesis of TMDC nanotubes ... 2026-07-24 /_upload/article/images/2a/c1/13440035413bac73462250e3905c/bdf356e5-3a2e-414d-94ed-b488b9aca705.jpg /_upload/article/images/2a/c1/13440035413bac73462250e3905c/bdf356e5-3a2e-414d-94ed-b488b9aca705_s.jpg (483) |
| 3 ZJU scientists discover molecular scaffold that enables near-1,000-fold boost in anticancer drug precursor production 3191518 /english/2026/0724/c75270a3191518/page.psp Headlines The Madagascar periwinkle is an unassuming flowering plant. Hardy, drought-tolerant and common in gardens around the world, it hardly looks like the source of one of modern medicine’s most important anticancer drugs.Yet the plant remains the only known natural source of vinblastine, a chemotherapy drug widely used to treat leukemia, lymphoma and several other cancers. The problem is that vinblast... 2026-07-24 /_upload/article/images/e8/44/be1f6e3e4dfd9d069deb90832930/9310ccbb-7bc8-4cfa-9d0e-a56affe9178c.jpg /_upload/article/images/e8/44/be1f6e3e4dfd9d069deb90832930/9310ccbb-7bc8-4cfa-9d0e-a56affe9178c_s.jpg (141) |

An accidental discovery opens a new route to recycling 3191500 /english/2026/0724/c75270a3191500/page.psp Headlines For decades, chemists have assumed that breaking down plastics requires powerful catalysts, high temperatures, and energy-intensive processing. A new study suggests otherwise.A research team led by WANG Yong at Zhejiang University, in collaboration with researchers from Cardiff University (UK), the University of Tokyo (Japan), Zhejiang University of Technology, China Jiliang University and other i... 2026-07-24 /_upload/article/images/79/7a/0883546c49c7a06856ca03a66db6/1f4b37ad-cd20-4f32-b4b8-1e2e3e301f83.jpg /_upload/article/images/79/7a/0883546c49c7a06856ca03a66db6/1f4b37ad-cd20-4f32-b4b8-1e2e3e301f83_s.jpg (158) |
