Step inside China's next-level giant "super lab," where scientists are pushing the limits by recreating the most extreme conditions on Earth, from ultra-low temperatures to ultra-high pressures and so on, all in one place and under one roof. This cutting-edge facility is designed to push the boundaries and become a global hub for groundbreaking research, unlocking breakthroughs that could reshape technologies, medicine, and quantum computing.
Chinese scientists have announced a series of major breakthroughs in developing "precision-designed" seeds that can increase crop yields while reducing fertilizer use and enhancing disease resistance, marking a significant advance for food security and sustainable agriculture. At a press conference held on Monday, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) unveiled the scientific achievements of its strategic priority research program, "Precision Seed Design and Breeding." Launched in November 2019, this flagship initiative has brought together experts from over 30 institutions to address pressing challenges in agriculture, including excessive fertilizer use, frequent crop diseases, and limited arable land.
A newly published study in the scientific journal Science Advances unveils the deep-time processes responsible for the exceptional plant diversity characterizing the world's mountain regions. While the richness of alpine flora is well-documented, this research, spearheaded by scientists from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, offers a comprehensive analysis of how geological forces and climate change have shaped this biodiversity over millions of years.
Chinese researchers have recently revealed how surface heat sources in urban clusters contribute to extreme heat events, according to the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The study unveiled the changing characteristics of surface heat sources and their relationship with compound high-temperature events, highlighting the importance of surface energy analysis in understanding urban climate change.
