Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is an ancient chronic infectious disease, which humans have been fighting against for quite a long time. TheGlobal Tuberculosis Report 2020issued by WHO estimates that the number of people latently infected with tuberculosis in the world is close to 2 billion. In 2019, there were 9.96 million new tuberculosis patients worldwide and 1.21 million deaths. Among the newly diagnosed tuberculosis patients worldwide in 2019, about 3.3% of new patients a

1.The application of hair artificial muscleDoes it have to be complicated to make a robot that can walk and move? No! In the hands of a scientist, an ordinary human hair can be changed intoa crawling robot in seconds. The team of Professor Liu Zunfeng fromthe College of Chemistry of Nankai University and the State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemistry Biology,which has long been committed to the research of artificial muscle materials, has developed a self-fixating intelligent hair artificial mu

There are many magical space-time symmetries present in the universe.Some of thosecountless novelties originate from the topology of the structureof the universe, some from the nonlinearity of the material, and otherfrom the “Parity Time (PT) Symmetry” that can realizespace-time symmetry concurrently. However, it is very difficult to find a natural material or a physical-existingmaterial systemwithmultiple properties in nature. How to experimentally construct artificial complex systems that have

On March 25, Clarivate Analytics announced the latest statistics of ESI. Nankai Universitys microbiology discipline made a new breakthrough. It entered the worlds top 1% of ESI for the first time and became the 15th ESI listed discipline of Nankai University.Currently, the discipline of Nankai University that has entered the world’s top 1% of ESI subjects arechemistry, materials science, physics, environmental science and ecology, biology and biochemistry, engineering, molecular biology and gene

On March 21, teachers and students from the College of Life Sciences of Nankai University carried out the demonstration and training of facilitated pest control methods for farmers in the demonstration base of biological control and production base of organic produce in Dongli District (Tianjin).

On February 15, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) officially released the list of AIMBE Fellow of 2021. A total of 174 AIMBE Fellows were elected worldwide in recognition of their outstanding achievements in medicine and biological engineering.Professor Pang Daiwen, from the School of Chemistry of Nankai University, was elected for his significant contribution in Quantum Dot-Based Single-Virus tracking.There are four other Chinese scholars elected this year, i

As oncology research evolves, the scientists have discovered that the cancer stem cells, which can be found in many types of cancer, are responsible for the metastatic cancer and its recurrence. However, there are still many major questions unanswered, such as what are the characteristics of cancer stem cells, how they cause diseases, why they develop drug resistance, what are their drug resistance mechanisms and many others. To solve those questions, scientific researchers have been attempting
