2023 marked the hottest year on record, driven by escalating ocean temperatures. The ocean's critical role in Earth's climate system, absorbing 90% of global warming heat, was underscored as the findings revealed a continual rise in temperatures, impacting weather patterns and marine life.
Researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment have shown that orbitally induced strengthening of the Asian summer monsoon played a key role in the dispersal of Homo sapiens from Africa to East Asia during the last interglacial period 125,000 to 70,000 years ago.
A recent study published in Cell has reported the generation of a live-birth chimeric monkey using a high contribution of embryonic stem cells (ESCs).
Researchers have discovered that a massive anomaly deep within the Earth's interior may be a remnant of the collision about 4.5 billion years ago that formed the Moon. This research offers important new insights not only into Earth's internal structure but also its long-term evolution and the formation of the inner solar system.
Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made tremendous achievements in the third quarter of 2023.
