Mineral Substrates as Evolutionary Drivers of Soil Microbial Diversity through Rare Biosphere
A research team led by H. Hnery Teng at the School of Earth System Science, Tianjin University, collected soil samples from three typical agricultural regions to establish initial microbial communities. In nutrient-rich culture media, they introduced six types of minerals—including nutrient-rich minerals/rocks (olivine, granite, diorite) and nutrient-poor minerals (quartz, kaolinite, montmorillonite)...

TJU Researchers Develop New System to Enable Needle-Free Blood Sodium Measurement
Chinese scientists have made a significant breakthrough in the field of needle-free diagnostics by developing a novel terahertz optoacoustic system. This system overcomes the interference caused by water and enables real-time measurement of blood sodium levels in live mice without the need for blood sampling or labeling. Preliminary human trials have also demonstrated its potential for clinical applications....
