At the beginning of 2024, OpenAI (an American artificial intelligence (AI) research organization) released Sora, the first AI-enabled text-to-video large-scale model. By simulating the dynamic changes in the real world through computer vision technology, it can generate 60-second smooth and realistic videos. It is regarded as another breakthrough in AI technology after ChatGPT. However, as can be seen from messed-up videos generated by the Sora, AI still has difficulties in “grasping” the physic
On March 15, the team of Prof. Rao Zihe of Nankai University and the team of Prof. Zhang Lu of ShanghaiTech University published online their joint research findings in Nature Microbiology, an authoritative journal in the field of microbiology. They reported the first three-dimensional cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the membrane-bound phosphoribosyltransferase Rv3806c, a new drug target of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a deadly pathogen that causes global human Tuberculosis.
Recently, Professor Li Jianbiao of the China Institute of Corporate Governance of Nankai University published a collaborative paper entitled “Confusion can not explain cooperative behavior in public goods games” in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) as the co-first and corresponding author.
