Winning audiences with shared memories
In 2026, one of the most unexpected stories in China's film market has been the phenomenal success of Dear You. Amid global challenges for cinema and a struggling Chinese box office, this small-budget film has become a runaway hit. Its success was not due to cutting-edge technology, a spectacular production scale or a star-studded cast. Instead, it gained momentum through word of mouth, winning audiences with its sincerity and emotional depth.

Genetically diverse CC and DO mouse models enable comprehensive assessments of novel tuberculosis vaccines
Abstract Development of a new vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) to replace the BCG vaccine has been hampered by the lack of a preclinical vaccine model that accurately reflects the genetic heterogeneity of the human population. We previously tested both Collaborative Cross (CC) and Diversity Outbred (DO) mice, which collectively reflect the genetic diversity of an outbred population, as models for preclinical vaccine testing.
Rational scheduling for year's largest film release window
Poster of The Reunion Journey. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn] China's box office crossed the 50-billion-yuan mark before the end of 2025, reaching 51.8 billion yuan ($7.4 billion). While this is still below the 2019 peak of 64.2 billion yuan, it represents a market that continues to recover and evolve. The anticipation is high for 2026, and all eyes are on the first — and traditionally largest — film release window: the Spring Festival.
Where R&D in HVAC Needs to Look Next
Manufacturer Reports With temperatures across the globe reaching unprecedented extremes, energy consumption has reached critical levels that risk overwhelming current infrastructure and slowing progress. As a result, HVAC manufacturers have accelerated research and development efforts to focus on generating efficient models that meet the diverse geographical needs of customers.
It's time movies regained WWII narrative
As China commemorates the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War (World War II) this year, Dead to Rights, a film on the Nanjing Massacre released in July, has stirred emotions and called for reflection on Japan's atrocities before and during World War II and China's contributions to the victory in the war.

A new tool for accelerating tuberculosis vaccine development
1 WHO Global tuberculosis report 2023. The urgent need for an effective tuberculosis vaccine has prompted innovative approaches to accelerate vaccine development. One such approach is the use of controlled human infection models, which offer a unique opportunity to evaluate candidate tuberculosis vaccines in a cost-effective manner. 2 Jackson S McShane H Challenges in developing a controlled human tuberculosis challenge model.
Beyond Planar Structure: Curved π‐Conjugated Molecules for High‐Performing and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells
Perovskite solar cell (PSC) shows a great potential to become the next-generation photovoltaic technology, which has stimulated researchers to engineer materials and to innovate device architectures for promoting device performance and stability. As the power conversion efficiency (PCE) keeps advancing, the importance of exploring multifunctional materials for the PSCs has been increasingly recognized.
Canada Abolishes Education Requirements, Making It Easier for Hong Kong People to Obtain Permanent Resident Card
From Aug. 15, Canada’s special pathway program for Hong Kong immigrants, Stream B (Canadian work experience category), will no longer require any specific education requirements. It means that more Hong Kong people with Canadian work experience will be eligible to apply for permanent residence status, and they are no longer restricted by their past educational pedigree.

Bowl‐Assisted Ball Assembly for Solvent‐Processing the C60 Electron Transport Layer of High‐Performance Inverted Perovskite Solar Cell
Abstract Pristine fullerene C60 is an excellent electron transport material for state-of-the-art inverted structure perovskite solar cells (PSCs), but its low solubility leaves thermal evaporation as the only method for depositing it into a high-quality electron transport layer (ETL). To address this problem, we herein introduce a highly soluble bowl-shaped additive, corannulene, to assist in C60-assembly into a smooth and compact film through the favorable bowl-ball interaction.
Controlled human infection models in COVID-19 and tuberculosis: current progress and future challenges
Hazel Morrison†, Susan Jackson† and Helen McShane* Jenner Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) involve deliberately exposing healthy human volunteers to a known pathogen, to allow the detailed study of disease processes and evaluate methods of treatment and prevention, including next generation vaccines. CHIMs are in development for both tuberculosis (TB) and Covid-19, but challenges remain in their ongoing optimisation and refinement.
Author Correction: Parenteral BCG vaccine induces lung-resident memory macrophages and trained immunity via the gut–lung axis - Nature Immunology
Correction to: Nature Immunology https://doi.org/10.1038/s41590-022-01354-4. Published online 1 December 2022. In the version of this article originally published, the Figure 3g dot plot panel for PBS group 14 dpi was incorrect. However, the numerical data representing the frequencies identified in this dot plot remain correct. We have now replaced this dot plot with the correct one (original and revised panels are shown as Figs. 1 and 2 below).
2D Layered Material‐Based van der Waals Heterostructures for Optoelectronics
DOI: 10.1002/adfm.201706587 The original version of this Review contained a wrong reference (8) in the introduction. The corrected reference is “C. Lee, X. Wei, J. Kysar, J. Hone, Science 2008, , 385”, and the corresponding description is also corrected to be “relatively high Young's modulus” in the revised version. These errors do not affect the conclusions of the report. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.

COVID-19 Watch
Cross-reactive memory T cells and herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2 How does the discovery of SARS-CoV-2 cross-reactive T cells in unexposed individuals change our understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic? In this Perspective, the authors provide a thought experiment to explain why the discovery of cross-reactive T cells may affect disease severity in individuals, but is unlikely to change our estimate of the herd immunity threshold.

Festive or Frivolous? China Debates the Future of Fireworks
Zhou Xing is a professor of anthropology and folklore studies at Aichi University in Japan and an adviser at the China Folklore Society. For centuries, fireworks have been an integral — and earsplitting — part of the Chinese holiday experience. Most often resembling firecrackers, the deafening noise they produce is widely considered key to setting a festive mood, and people will light them in celebration of everything from weddings and business openings to the downfall of corrupt officials.
This Time, We Won’t Forget The Victims of Disaster
Ten years ago today, an earthquake struck the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan, killing nearly 70,000 people and leaving a further 18,000 missing. In the days that followed, the victims of the Wenchuan earthquake — as the disaster came to be known — received a huge outpouring of public support, mourning, and commemoration. Like in most societies, Chinese people conduct special ceremonies to memorialize the deceased.
