China Approves First Gene-Edited Wheat, Expands GM Tech to Food Crops
China has approved the safety of gene-edited wheat, marking a cautious step towards commercial
cultivation of genetically modified food crops. In the past
year, China has increased approvals for GM corn and
soybeans to enhance food security, but adoption remains
slow due to health and ecological concerns. Gene editing,
which modifies existing genes rather than introducing
foreign ones, is considered by some scientists as less risky
than traditional genetic modification. China primarily
imports GM crops for animal feed and grows non-GM varieties for direct human consumption,
reflecting ongoing consumer safety concerns. Approval of disease-resistant gene-edited wheat is
significant and has given wheat's importance in Chinese cuisine and agriculture as the world's largest
producer and consumer of wheat.
Neuron-Sized Electrodes for Vision Implant
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, University of Freiburg and the
Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have developed an incredibly small implant. It features
electrodes the size of a single neuron and maintains long-term integrity in the body, offering potential
for future vision implants for the visually impaired. Often when a person is blind, some or part of the
eye is damaged, but the visual cortex in the brain is still functioning and waiting for input. When
considering brain stimulation for sight restoration, there needs to be thousands of electrodes going into
an implant to build up enough information for an image. Electrical impulses sent via an implant to the
brain's visual cortex can create an image, with each electrode representing a pixel. The vision implant
developed in this study resembles a 'thread' containing multiple electrodes arranged in a row.
Ultimately, multiple threads with thousands of
electrodes each would be required for long-term
use, making this study a crucial advancement
toward realizing such implant. Developing
electrodes the size of single neurons, allows
researchers to incorporate numerous electrodes
onto a single implant, enabling the creation of a
more detailed visual image for the user. The use of
flexible, non-corrosive materials in this design ensures a durable, long-term solution for vision
implants.

Sound Waves Propel Objects with Precision
Researchers have achieved the navigation of floating objects through an aquatic obstacle course using
sound waves alone. This optics-inspired technique shows potential for biomedical applications,
particularly in noninvasive targeted drug delivery.
Over the past four years, researchers have focused on
moving objects in dynamic environments using
sound waves. Their approach, known as wave
momentum shaping, works independently over an
object's surroundings or physical characteristics.
With only the object's position needed as input, the
sound waves handle the rest autonomously. The method relies on momentum conservation, which
makes it exceptionally straightforward and universal, highlighting its promising potential. After
successfully guiding a ping-pong ball, the scientists conducted further experiments involving
stationary and moving obstacles to introduce complexity into the system. Maneuvering the ball around
these obstacles showcased the effectiveness of wave momentum shaping in dynamic, uncontrolled
environments, including scenarios akin to navigating within a human body. Sound, being harmless and
noninvasive, holds significant promise for biomedical applications. The researchers aim to adapt their
method for use with light in the future. Currently, their focus is on scaling down their sound-based
experiments to the micro-level. They plan to use ultrasonic waves under a microscope to manipulate
cells.

Scientists Innovate Highly Efficient Memory Materials with Atom-level Control
Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed a next-
generation DRAM memory material known as "Spin-orbit torque (SOT)." SOT utilizes the interaction
between electron spin (magnetic property) and motion (electrical property),
allowing for control of the magnetic state through current-induced spin
movement. This approach reduces power consumption by utilizing magnetic
rather than electrical information, making it ideal for non-volatile memory that
retains data when powered off. The team focused on materials exhibiting both
magnetism and the "Spin-Hall effect," particularly strontium ruthenate (SrRuO
3
).
They modified the atomic lattice structure of SrRuO
3
to create asymmetric Spin-
Hall effects on its surface layers, enabling precise control of magnetization
direction without external magnetic fields. By integrating SOT into a SrRuO
3
-
based device, they could manipulate the magnetic domain solely using electric current for data writing
and reading.
Eye Tracking Enables Touch-Free Mobile Phone Usage
Apple has introduced revolutionary Eye Tracking technology in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, transforming

to accurately monitor user’s eye movements. Designed primarily for individuals facing physical
challenges with touch screens, Eye Tracking enables users to control their devices simply by looking
at the screen. Setting it up is straightforward, users can access it via the Settings app under
Accessibility > Physical and Motor > Eye Tracking. To calibrate the system, users follow a dot that
moves around the screen, a process that typically takes about a minute. Once activated, a small black
dot appears on the screen, indicating the user's gaze position. This dot acts as a pointer, replacing
traditional touch controls. Dwell Control is another key feature
enabled with Eye Tracking, allowing users to select items by
maintaining their gaze on them for a few seconds. The system
offers customization options such as adjusting Dwell Control
sensitivity and enabling Snap to Item, which automatically
selects the nearest interface element when gazed upon. These
enhancements reduce the need for precise accuracy in selecting
items, thereby improving overall usability and user experience.

China's Lunar Triumph: Unearthing Moon Rocks from the Far Side
China now holds a unique treasure, the rocks and soil from the far side of the moon, a feat achieved by
the successful return of the Chang’e-6 lunar mission on June 25. This scientific triumph underscores
China’s standing as a leading global space power, second only to
the United States. Amid intensifying competition in the race to
establish a lasting human presence on the moon, China's space
agency is following in the footsteps of NASA's Apollo missions
by sharing its lunar samples with scientists worldwide. The
samples, collected using a drill and mechanical arm, comprise
approximately 4.4 pounds (2 kilograms) of lunar dust and rocks
from a remote crater on the moon's far side, perpetually out of
sight from Earth. China achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first and only country to
land a robotic spacecraft softly on the far side of the moon, accomplished initially in 2019 with the
Chang'e-4 mission. Just a year later, China further solidified its place in history as only the third nation
to successfully retrieve samples from the moon's near side with the Chang'e-5 mission.
Dynamic Fashion: Seams that Capture Every Move
Conductive threads stitched into garment seams allow harmless low voltages to pass through, making
electrical circuits. These threads change resistance based on the wearer's body movements, paving the
way for digital clothing that can sense and capture movements more precisely than current
smartphones and smart-watches. The research establishes a framework for e-textile designers and
clothing manufacturers to develop advanced garments. These innovations could significantly improve
applications in exercise, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation. Our research demonstrates that standard
over-locked seams in typical garment constructions can effectively sense movement. This design
innovation eliminates the requirement for a separate power source by integrating the seam with a
charging coil, which wirelessly draws energy from a
mobile phone placed in the pocket. This approach
allows for the creation of advanced motion-sensing
garments without the need to modify existing
manufacturing processes. The researchers have also
demonstrated that smartphone apps leveraging
sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques
can utilize this movement data to accurately interpret body movements into specific postures or
gestures, such as those used in physiotherapeutic exercises.
