Two quiet science papers, one recurring problem: what we still cannot clean up
A Chinese team reports a smart coating that strips tritium from wastewater; separately, researchers describe a dedicated nerve circuit for mechanical itch. Two small papers, one stubborn truth about scale-up.

Desk note: where a Western wire might have run the tritium paper as a straightforward materials-science brief and the itch paper as a neurology curiosity, this publication treats both as instances of the same lab-to-market gap, and gives the Chinese industrial-policy context equal analytical weight to the bench result.
