Runwei Li's Team | Enhancing Tactile Sensitivity in Robotics

Close your eyes and draw a finger across a surface—you can instantly discern the coolness of glass, the grain of wood, or the softness of fabric. This innate human capability, known simply as touch , is now emerging as a sensory modality that researchers are actively working to impart to robotic systems.Future surgical robots could sense vascular pulsation. Prosthetic limbs could provide amputees with realistic haptic feedback during grip. Even smartphone screens might one day allow users to dis

Zhangxing Chen & Heng Zhao's Team | A Novel Strategy for Valorizing Methane

The greenhouse gases methane and carbon dioxide are major contributors to global warming. Dry reforming of methane (DRM, CH₄+ CO₂→2CO + 2H₂) is a process capable of converting both gases simultaneously into useful syngas. However, this reaction requires temperatures above 700°C, and catalysts are prone to rapid deactivation, primarily through coking, which has hindered its large-scale industrial adoption.A significant advancement has now been made by the team led by Zhangxing Chen, Chair Profess

Published in Science: Chunmiao Zheng's Team Clarifies Global Exposure Risks to "Forever Chemicals" from Marine Fish

Commonly consumed fish such as salmon and tuna may be silently contributing to a “hidden health risk,” according to a recent study. A collaborative research led by Professor Chunmiao Zheng, Chair Professor in the School of the Environment and Sustainable Engineering, College of Engineering, Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo, and Associate Professor Wenhui Qiu of Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), has revealed thatper- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)are progressi

Dongxiao Zhang's Team｜AI Can Discover New Equations Like a Scientist

This research may challenge your previous perceptions.It elevates algorithms from passive data analysts or imitators to active explorers and creators. Instead of merely digging out hidden patterns from data, it integrates existing knowledge to generate and optimize new theories and equations we have never conceived of, much like a true scientist.A research team led by Academician Dongxiao Zhang from the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo, has proposed an intelligent partial differential equ

Research Team Led by Professor Yuntian Chen Reports Increased Structural Failure Risks for Offshore Wind Turbines Under Climate Change

A study conducted by Assistant Professor Yuntian Chens team at Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo and collaborators reveals that over half of the operational and planned offshore wind farms across Asia and Europe are exposed to hazardous extreme wind conditions. The analysis indicates a significant increasing trend in extreme wind speeds, which critically influences turbine structural loads, across 68% of global coastal regions. The findings were published in Nature Communications on Novemb

Academician Xueliang Sun's Team Proposes a New Paradigm for Solid-State Electrolyte Design

In liquid electrolytes, salts are “dissolved” by solvents, allowing ions to move freely. In solids, however, everything appears static and “dissolution” should not occur. Yet, this research precisely makes solids “learn” to “dissolve”.A research team from Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo has discovered a class of halide van der Waals materials. These materials act like “solid solvents,” disassembling metal salts into freely mobile ionswithinthe solid structure—a phenomenon they termSolid

Research Progress | Breaking Ionic Conductivity Records: Academician Xueliang Sun's Team Featured in Science

What if electric vehicles and low-altitude aircraft could operate stably in extreme cold as low as -50°C, completely eliminating battery anxiety? This vision may soon become reality.A team led by Academician Xuejiang, Chair Professor of Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, in collaboration with collaborators, has developed a new superionic conductor that offers a novel technological pathway toward high-performance all-solid-state ba

Research Progress | Latest Research from Academician Xueliang Sun’s Team Published in Nature ChemistryOn August 4, Academician Xueliang Sun’s team at EIT Ningbo published a study titled “Solid solvation structure design improves all-solid-state organic batteries” inNature Chemistry. The work reports the use of n-type organic small-molecule cathode materials as “solvents,” incorporating dual ions to construct a heteronuclear solid solvation structure. This approach activates a ligand-metal-ligand

Research Team from EIT and Collaborators Uncover Driving Mechanisms Behind 2023's Global Extreme Marine Heatwaves

2023 was recorded as the hottest year globally. While extreme land temperatures made headlines, a deeper, more critical issue lay beneath the ocean surface: why did the global ocean, Earths primary climate regulator, simultaneously overheat to record extremes?Recently, a groundbreaking study led by Academician Dongxiao Zhang and Assistant Professor Yuntian Chen from the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo, in collaboration with the Southern University of Science and Technology and several ot
