Top 10 Sci-tech News Globally

1. Chinese start-up DeepSeek's promotion of open-source development, with its R1 model enhancing reasoning in large language models through reinforcement learning.

2. The creation of an AI-based tool combined with a brain decoder that can translate a person's thoughts directly into continuous text, without requiring them to speak or process spoken language.

3. Researchers designed enzymes from scratch, using RFdiffusion to generate proteins and a machine learning network called PLACER to evaluate their active site organization.

4. Photonic computing chips outperformed traditional electronic hardware — for example, a Singaporean system achieved over two-orders-of-magnitude improvements in latency and computation time with oMAC compared to commercial GPUs.

5. The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory released its first images, capturing images of millions of distant stars and galaxies on an unprecedented scale.

6. An intelligent surgical robot successfully removed a gallbladder without human assistance.

7. Google introduced the Quantum Echoes algorithm that demonstrates a verifiable quantum advantage over classical computers.

8. Stephen Hawking's area theorem, proposed in 1971, was confirmed with very high precision by the gravitational wave GW250114.

9. The Global Tipping Points Report 2025, released by 160 international scientists, warns that Earth has reached its first climate tipping point, with rising temperatures threatening coral reefs.

10. Scientists released the first atlas of cross-species mammalian brain cell development, providing the most detailed spatiotemporal map of brain development to date.
