China's Einstein Probe (EP) satellite has detected a previously unknown type of cosmic explosion involving faint and fast X-ray transients that occur during the death of massive stars. The discovery, published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Astronomy, challenges existing theories of stellar collapse and reveals a hidden class of stellar explosions.
Researchers at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have successfully developed a novel radical self-assembled molecular material. This innovation overcomes both the inadequate performance and the difficulty of uniformly fabricating large-area hole-transport layers in perovskite solar cells. The technology has been efficiency-certified by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
A group of Chinese researchers has discovered the biosynthesis and release process of the key pheromone that causes a locust outbreak, making an important contribution to the ecological prevention of locust plagues. Researchers from the Institute of Zoology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University have achieved precise chemical control of the biosynthesis and release process of the locust aggregation pheromone 4VA. The study was published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
Chinese researchers have successfully reintroduced Petrocosmea grandiflora, a critically endangered plant long thought lost, into its natural habitat in the sinkholes of Mengzi City, in the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture of southwest China's Yunnan Province.
After her neuroimaging research at Germany's Max Planck Institute, Dr. LI Juan chose to join the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – drawn by its global reputation and the synergy between her work and NIMTE's Nanobiomaterials Group. She collaborates with a vibrant team, pioneering novel biomaterials and smart biomedical probes for the precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
Last year, Chen Liquan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was awarded the CAS Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award, a recognition for a lifetime of groundbreaking contributions. From developing China's first all-solid-state lithium metal battery to mentoring a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, Chen's work has been instrumental in transforming China from a follower to a global leader in battery technology.
While China's green energy transition appears to have a heavy focus on electric vehicles, solar, wind and hydro power, another clean energy source being developed is hydrogen. Zhou Wu, an expert on hydrogen catalysis has been a driving force behind China's research into the process that could revolutionize the clean commercial production of hydrogen.
