“Ww! Lk at that! Isn’t it a real fish?” The binic (仿生) fish, named “Jinlin”, was swimming lively like a real ne. It was develped by researchers at Shanghai Ocean University. This inventin isn’t just fr fun—it shws hw humans cpy nature t slve prblems. That is a science called binics.
Over millins f years, animals and plants have develped smart ways t survive. Fr example, kingfishers are experts at mving fast between air and water with very little nise. Thrugh their study, scientists discvered that the birds’ lng beaks (喙) enabled this ability. Then they used the knwledge t change the frnt f the high-speed train. This change cut dwn nise level, increased speed by 10% and greatly saved energy. This cmbinatin (结合) f bilgy and engineering is the key t success in binics. And it has set the stage fr the rise f ther new technlgies.
Driven by rbtics and AI, binics has grwn rapidly. The AI-pwered binic fish “Jinlin” can be used fr envirnmental prtectin and deep sea explratin. In medicine, binic arms can wrk similarly t real arms. Sensrs allw the user t “feel” tuch and pressure. Mtrs help the binic arms make mvements, like human muscles (肌肉). With AI, the binic arms are able t “learn” new tasks and becme smarter ver time. These inventins are examples t shw hw binics bridges bilgy and new technlgies t slve humans’ prblems.
Althugh s much prgress has been made, binics faces challenges. Nature’s designs are hard t cpy perfectly. As fr binic arms, ne key area f develpment is Brain-Cmputer Interface (脑机接口). Mre wrk n direct cmmunicatin between the brain and binic arms is required t cntrl mvements as naturally as real arms. Researchers are als wrking n creating new materials and structures which can sense and repair themselves.
While there’s still a lng way t g, the future f binics is full f pssibilities. Stay hungry. Stay flish. Maybe yu’ll be the next ne t change the wrld!

Deep under the Pacific Ocean lie cral reefs clred by sme algae that live with crals. Crals usually prvide nitrgen (氮) t algae, and in return they get carbn (碳), which gives them energy.
In the early 1980s, a huge heat wave turned mre than 90 percent f these crals a pale, lifeless white. And it was believed that abut 50 percent f reefs with beautiful crals might disappear by 2030. Heat waves warmed up the same Pacific waters in the late 1990s and again in 2015—2016, but scientists nticed that these heat waves didn’t influence the reefs as badly as the first. Maybe crals have fund a way t adapt (适应).
Swimming t cler waters is nt a gd chice fr crals, fr it makes them easily hurt by the changing climate. But crals are able t adapt. Sme turn t thse algae that can deal well with heat. Others can use rws f tiny hairs n their bdies t “fan” away t much harmful xygen (O2) let ut by stressed-ut algae. Certain baby crals change their wn metablisms (新陈代谢) in rder t fight the warming waters. But all these adaptatins can prtect themselves nly t sme degree.
After studying and understanding these adaptatins, scientists are trying t find ways t help crals fight. If researchers can make crals accept algae that can deal with heat pressure r if they energize genes (基因) that can deal with heat pressure, it will raise the crals’ chance f living thrugh future cean heat waves.
“When I g dwn t the sea and see a beautiful healthy reef with these clrful crals, I feel this pleasure f being in this underwater wrld,” a famus bilgist says. “It will be really sad t see it dead. But that des drive yu t want t use yur skills and yur lve t help fight.”

Yu shuld keep a gd balance between these tw chemicals.
Hwever, fr many peple, it is hard t balance sunlight with darkness. Peple wh stay indrs a lt may nt get enugh sunlight. The light in a huse is usually abut 100 times less than that utside n a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that thse peple shuld get utside in the sunshine. They can get sme exercise, enjy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time.
There are places where it gets dark fr a lng time in the winter. Peple in thse places are easier t get seasnal affective disrder (SAD). Peple with SAD usually g thrugh bad experiences such as lw energy and sadness. The mst cmmn treatment fr thse peple is t sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights fr sme time.

As we ften use eyes t tuch nature, mst f us “lse” the ability t listen t the wrld.
Peter writes music. He likes sunds and uses natural sunds as part f his music. He ften went ut t the wild with his micrphne and recrded interesting sunds t put in mvies r t use in his wn sngs. Instead f trying t capture just the sund f ne animal r bird, he recrded the sund f everything all tgether—the animals, the trees, the wind and the earth. He called these recrdings “sundscapes”—the sund f a certain place. Every sundscape Peter recrded had a lt f infrmatin.
Back in his wrkshp, Peter used a cmputer t make a picture f all the sunds ging n in a place. Each animal, bird and insect had its wn place n the picture—its wn ntes in the music. The busier the picture, the richer the life in that place. “While a picture may be wrth 1,000 wrds, a sundscape is wrth 1,000 pictures,” Peter said. “Our ears tell us the sund f every leaf and animal and speak t the natural surces (来源) f ur lives, which may hld the secrets f lve fr all things, especially ur wn humanity.”

Trains g acrss China and they are becming ideal places fr intrducing lcal traditinal culture. A gd example is the K7041 train frm Harbin t Mhe in Nrtheast China’s Heilngjiang Prvince. On the ICH train, Gulayier, dressed in traditinal clthes, sang Orqen flk sngs and his partner played the Orqen jaw harp, a musical instrument.

Hwever, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a vide series called Frward t the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined wuld be reality in 2045.

Accrding t him, experts are wrking n certain technlgies that can make this happen. They’ve made sme prgress already.

Pam Melry believes we’re ging t find that we have a very different relatinship with the machines arund us. “I think we’ll begin t see a time when we’re able t cntrl a machine just by pressing a buttn (按钮) r nly saying sme simple wrds,” she said. Fr example, right nw t land a plane safely, a pilt has t g thrugh many steps in the right rder. But in 2045, in Pam’s wrds, a pilt may just need t say the wrds “prepare fr landing”. Then the cmputer knws the steps it needs t take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilt wn’t even be necessary.

Circles represent (象征) things that are sft and natural. The rund shape reminds us f things that appear in nature, like the sun, flwers, raindrps and s n. We can als cnnect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ rund faces... All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why s many cartn characters’ bdies—heres, kids, gd peple—are rund in shape, because circles represent gdness, happiness and friendliness.
Squares shw things that are unnatural r man-made, r things that are bring r ld-fashined. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-ld by with a rund face, always wears rund medals. These shapes shw the characters’ persnalities. Carl is stubbrn (执拗的) and lnely, while Russell is lvely and full f energy.
The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids wh draw a mnster with sharp teeth draw a rw f triangles, dn’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and dubt in sme way.

A medical breakthrugh in China is giving new hpe t peple with spinal crd injuries (脊髓损伤). Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allws paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients t mve their legs, and even walk again.
The chip, nly 1mm wide, is designed t be fitted int the brain and spinal crd. If the natural cmmunicatin between the brain and muscles (肌肉) is lst, this chip becmes the bridge. When the chips wrk, they create a direct cnnectin between the brain and muscles.
The results have been amazing. A 34-year-ld man, paralyzed after a fall, culd mve his legs just ne day after the peratin n January 8, 2025. Tw weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three ther patients had similar peratins in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even thugh the patients’ nervus systems were damaged (受损), the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s prgress in medical science and it brings hpe fr ver 3.7 millin peple in China.
“This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, says. “With the technlgy, these peple may ne day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 t 5 years f training.”
Behind this achievement is a lng jurney f careful research and bld thinking. It tk the researchers ver 10 years t develp the chip. They tested it n animals first, and then n peple.

Many marine species (海洋物种) depend n specific rutes t migrate (迁徙). The rutes ffer these seafaring travellers the right cnditins, at the right time f year, t guide them thrugh the ceans. We humans try t discver the rutes and have drawn ur wn lines, but they are nt clear t us because f unexpected changes in nature.
T find ut the rutes that migratry marine species regularly take, a research team f scientists in Australia and the US have nw created an interactive map that shws the paths cnnecting cean habitats (栖息地).
The new map, named the Migratry Cnnectivity in the Ocean (MiCO), cllects data and makes it easier fr scientists t see where migratry marine species may be falling int the paths. The database (数据库) includes infrmatin n 109 species, based n arund 30 years f data, and shws where they are ging t and frm—including which species crss int whse natinal waters.
“MiCO cnnects almst 2, 000 imprtant habitats and shws the imprtance f crss-bundary teamwrk,” says the research team. They find that all f the species recrded in MiCO have less prtectin at sme pint in their life histry because f different situatins in different cuntries. That means n cuntry is able t fully prtect migratry species if there is n help frm thers. “Fr example, green turtles nest in Csta Rica and migrate nrth thrugh Nicaragua and ut t islands in the Caribbean,” the team says. “Althugh largely prtected in Csta Rica, it is allwed t fish fr turtles in Nicaragua and huge numbers are lst ff the cast there every year.”
MiCO wrks t prvide useful knwledge n migratry cnnectivity t help prtect marine species. In 2023, a UN reprt fund climate (气候) changes are having bad influence n migratry species. MiCO catches the infrmatin frm different time perids and the team hpes it may be used t tell thse changes in cnnectivity. MiCO is als expected t cllect infrmatin n mre migratry marine species because there is less than ne-third f data cllected nw.
“S far, the migratry infrmatin revealed within the MiCO system nly tuches the surface f the true cnnectivity f the glbal ceans,” the team says.

Presently, cld weather kills far mre peple in Eurpe than ht weather. But the study fund that as temperatures cntinue t rise, deaths frm cld weather will reduce ver time. Hwever, heat-related deaths are predicted t rise greatly.
The researchers said the number f predicted deaths culd be reduced if natins are able t find better ways f cutting dwn carbn (碳) pllutin levels. They called fr increased effrts t reduce greenhuse gases and develp air-cling systems in parts f Eurpe. Withut such effrts, places in Italy, suthern Spain and Greece are likely t see large increases in heat deaths related t climate change.
On the ther hand, much f Scandinavia and Britain are predicted t see fewer cld-related deaths, largely because lw temperatures are expected t be mderate.

Learning abut AI ▲ AI wrks by using algrithms (算法), r step-by-step instructins, t help cmputers understand and wrk with infrmatin. Fr example, if yu wanted t teach a cmputer t knw different types f fruits, yu wuld give it a lt f pictures f fruits and tell it which nes are apples, bananas, and s n. The cmputer wuld then use this infrmatin t find ut what new fruits are. This prcess is called “machine learning”.What can AI be used fr?
AI is already being used in many different areas. Fr example, AI can be used t:● diagnse and treat diseases;
● drive self-driving cars;
● recmmend mvies and TV shws accrding t yur viewing histry;
● help teachers give marks t papers.
