A new study demonstrates that rapid, label-free readings from individual yeast cells can be translated into many of these same key process metrics—while also uncovering cell-to-cell variation masked by bulk testing methods.
Prof. ZHOU Yongjin's team from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Martin Grininger's team from Goethe University Frankfurt developed a modular and programmable fatty acid synthesis platform which enables high specificity production of medium-chain fatty acids in yeast.
A research team led by Prof. TIAN Hengci from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted extensive analysis of lunar basalts collected by Chang'e-6 from the South Pole–Aitken Basin. These samples exhibit significantly heavier potassium (K) isotopic compositions than all previously documented lunar basalts from the Apollo missions and lunar meteorites.
Led by Prof. ZHAO Ruilin from the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, researchers showed how climate dynamics and a key gene for adaptive evolution and domestication jointly shaped the button mushroom's diversity.
A novel experiment on the fundamental science of lithium-ion batteries has been carried out aboard China's Tiangong space station.
China is accelerating the transition of its nuclear fusion program from fundamental research to large-scale engineering, as construction of the Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak (BEST) gains momentum.
Through studying the observation data of China's gigantic radio telescope located in the country's southwestern Guizhou Province, an international research team has uncovered compelling new evidence supporting a binary-system origin for at least some fast radio bursts (FRBs), one of the most enigmatic phenomena in modern astrophysics.
Findings from a major collaboration involving over 50 scientists from 31 research reveal that the world's oceans absorbed more heat in 2025 than in any other year since modern record-keeping began. Published in the journal Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, the report showed that the global ocean heat content in the upper 2,000 meters set a record for the ninth consecutive year, increasing by 23 zettajoules compared to 2024.
