On January 17, Russian Human Rights Commissioner Moskalikova told reporters in Geneva after meeting with ICRC President Sporalitz that restarting the prisoner-of-war exchange process between Russia and Ukraine is the top priority. She stated that Russia has submitted a list of Ukrainian military personnel in Russia who are ready for repatriation. Previously, Ukraine typically submitted the list, and Russia agreed to repatriation, but the current dialogue with Ukraine is "puzzling." It is difficult to discuss the possible exchange deadline and the number of prisoners at this time, as "various details could emerge until the last minute, potentially disrupting the process or changing its direction."

On January 17th, it was reported that on January 13th, according to Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, Academician Hao Yue's team at the university broke through a 20-year bottleneck in semiconductor materials technology, achieving a leap forward in chip heat dissipation efficiency and overall performance, providing a replicable Chinese paradigm for solving various high-quality integration problems of semiconductor materials. The relevant findings were recently published in the top international journals *Nature Communications* and *Science Advances*. Zhang Jincheng, Vice President and Professor of Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, stated, "Inability to dissipate heat can lead to decreased chip performance or even device burnout." The team innovatively injected high-energy ions into the crystal of third-generation semiconductor chips, making the surface of the crystal nucleation layer smooth. This breakthrough reduced the semiconductor thermal resistance to one-third of its original value, solving the heat dissipation problem faced by third-generation and future semiconductor chips. Simultaneously, this breakthrough significantly improved the performance of semiconductor devices.
