Volumetric 3D Printing Reaches Sub-Second Speeds With Projector Periscope

Researchers at Tsinghua University demonstrated a sub-second volumetric 3D printing method that uses a high-speed projector periscope instead of rotating the resin volume, enabling printing with less viscous resins and continuous pumping into a collection vessel for scalable manufacturing, while maintaining micron-scale accuracy—promising mass production potential but not yet hobbyist-friendly.

"China's Breakthrough in Light-Based AI Chip Paves the Way for Energy-Efficient Artificial General Intelligence"

Scientists at Tsinghua University have developed Taichi, a light-based artificial intelligence chip that is over 1,000 times more energy efficient than traditional electronic chips and outperforms the high-performance Nvidia H100 GPU. The chip, using photonic integrated circuits, shows promise in artificial general intelligence tasks such as image recognition training and content generation. The research team believes Taichi could pave the way for large-scale photonic computing and advanced artificial general intelligence applications, potentially revolutionizing AI computing with its energy efficiency and high-speed data processing capabilities.

"Discovery: Smallest Star's Ghostly Companion and 72-Year Earth Day"

Astronomers have discovered a unique binary star system, TMTS J0526, where a white dwarf orbits a hot subdwarf star, compressing 72 Earth years into a single day. The system, located 2,760 light-years away, features a white dwarf rich in carbon and oxygen and a tiny subdwarf star completing an orbit every 20.5 minutes. This finding may shed light on the formation of such minuscule subdwarf stars and the process of white dwarf formation from sun-sized stars.

"Discovery of Smallest Star and Ghostly Companion by China-Led Research Team"

A China-led research team has discovered the smallest star ever detected, a hot subdwarf just seven times the size of Earth, along with its larger white dwarf companion, using the Tsinghua University-Ma Huateng Telescope for Survey. The star, TMTS J0526B, and its invisible companion, J0526A, orbit each other every 20 minutes, and their existence supports a theory proposed by Chinese astronomers two decades ago. The finding offers the first direct observational evidence of such a unique binary system, and the researchers expect that the next generation of space-based gravitational wave detectors could detect the system's gravitational waves.

Revolutionary Brain-Computer Interface: Non-invasive Ear Canal Implant Reads Neuron Activity

Chinese scientists from Tsinghua University have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) called SpiralE that can connect to the brain via the inner ear. Unlike other BCIs, SpiralE does not require surgery and can be easily inserted and removed without blocking the wearer's hearing. The technology has the potential to enable applications such as thought-to-text translation, thought-controlled digital objects, and human memory augmentation. However, ethical concerns regarding privacy and human rights need to be addressed before widespread adoption.
