Concrete, durable points of attack
English titles and summaries are available for 347 of 1154 catalogue records. Untranslated cards retain clearly marked Chinese originals; detailed records remain in Chinese.
Comprehensive planetary-protection governance: two-way contamination safeguards across celestial bodies
Back-contamination protection for returned samples from Mars and other bodies, plus forward-contamination control from Earth life, are still governed by rules from the era of a few space agencies.
无人机微枢纽网络·让空中配送不必等人换电池
自动充换电站铺成网络,无人机才能连续作业,而不是每次都要人工维护。
Working-memory capacity and cognitive load
The brain can hold only a few things at once—why this hard limit exists, and whether it can be broken, remain unanswered.
光谱越界·红外/紫外视觉增强
让肉眼看见波长之外的世界,纳米颗粒隐形眼镜刚证明了可能性。
Direct extraction of energy-critical minerals: the materials bottleneck of electrification
Lithium, nickel, cobalt, and rare earths are materials bottlenecks for the energy transition. Direct-extraction technology compresses lithium recovery from 18 months of evaporation ponds to days.
Universal electricity access: off-grid power
About 680 million people worldwide still lack electricity. The technology has long been sufficient; this is the purest “delivery” dark star on the A axis.
Metal fuel cycles: rechargeable “solid fossil fuels”
Iron and aluminum powders release heat when burned, then their oxides are reduced again with green electricity: a zero-carbon, recyclable carrier with energy density close to fossil fuels, in an almost uncharted field.
Wheat stem rust Ug99: global surveillance and resistance breeding
A stem-rust lineage capable of overcoming most resistant wheat is a pandemic-scale staple-food disaster, yet long-term surveillance relies on thin funding.
Post-harvest cold chains: reducing loss at origin
In developing regions, lack of cold chains and storage causes extensive spoilage after harvest—off-grid refrigeration and low-cost preservation are key access bottlenecks.
Orphan-crop improvement: bringing modern breeding to neglected staples
Bring modern breeding to crops such as sorghum, cassava, and cowpea that feed poor countries but attract little research.
Secular rituals and meaning infrastructure: nonreligious vessels for life transitions
Religious rituals once supported marriage, death, coming of age, and belonging; secularization has left only scattered experiments, with no scalable nonreligious ritual system yet established.
Full mutual translation of world literature and thought
Machine translation has opened access to information, but not to meaning—deep cultural translation between most language pairs remains largely absent.
Ocean alkalinity enhancement
The ocean has absorbed about one-quarter of human carbon emissions. Adding alkalinity could enable it to absorb more while countering acidification—an enormous potential whose ecological consequences and accounting methods remain uncharted.
心肌再生·修复而非只是维持
心梗留下的疤痕组织第一次有可能被真的心肌细胞重新长回去,而不只是靠药物撑着。
高压神经综合征(HPNS)药理防护
潜得越深,大脑越先出问题——目前唯一的对策是'慢慢来',还没有一颗药能解决它。
声呐感官·骨传导超声波空间感知
借回声定位补上视觉之外的一层空间感知,已有可穿戴设备在验证。
亚轨道运输噪声与音爆规制
让火箭客运的音爆不把沿途社区炸出投诉
