The upgrading of the open access movement in Europe is bringing academic publishing to the open access model Negotiators from European libraries and University consortia are sharing strategies on how to bring about new agreements that could put more articles outside the pay wall Influenced by the standoff in Germany, they increasingly say they will refuse to pay for access to journals if they do not like the services offered by publishers On May 16th an alliance in Sweden became the latest group to say it would not renew its contract with publishing giant Elsevier Https:// brain can also be cultivated! In vitro culture of neurons in the brain has been successful Researchers at Tokyo University have created a method to connect single neurons by using geometric pattern growth, and to accurately build neurons by cell splicing So far, researchers have used "in vitro culture" to create simple substances in the brain; what is important in this system is the way neurons are connected, which can control the physical movement of two neurons adjacent to each other This will have a good prospect and open up many new research approaches Https://techcrunch.com/2018/05/22/researchers-recreate-a-brain-piece-by-piece/a new weapon to fight diseases: robot culture small organ scientists have developed a system to automatically generate organ like organs in human stem cells by manipulating liquid handling robots The robot is able to plant organs in 21 days and analyze their "work" to identify different types of cells that exist in organs The researchers say that robots are more efficient than humans in accomplishing this task, and they don't "tire out" and make mistakes Http:// ᦇ ixzz5gfxl2nhb Guangzhou International Campus of South China University of technology started construction recently The project of Guangzhou International Campus of South China University of technology started construction in Guangzhou International Innovation City, Xinzao Town, Panyu District, Guangzhou city The campus will build 10 cutting-edge interdisciplinary colleges and several research institutes At present, 90 high-level talents have been introduced, including 12 academicians from the two academies and developed countries in Europe and the United States Http://news.scienceet.cn/htmlnews/2018/5/412893.shtm China's hydrogen fuel cell catalyst has achieved mass production, breaking the foreign monopoly It is reported that the industrialization of key materials and catalysts for fuel cell has been solved by the joint research and development team of Tsinghua University hydrogen fuel cell laboratory and Wuhan Himalaya Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd At present, the catalyst has obtained 17 patents, with a capacity of 1200 grams per day, which can meet the requirements of 40 36 kW fuel cell stacks and large-scale industrial production The series of achievements completely break the long-term monopoly of the technology in a few countries, and the price is only half of the same kind of imported products http://digitalpaper.stdaily.com/http_
