For centuries, the question of whether life exists beyond Earth has intrigued humanity, and now a joint discovery by Chinese and German scientists may offer a significant clue. Based on the Transit Timing Variation (TTV) technique for the first time, the super-Earth, Kepler-725c, with 10 times the mass of the Earth, has been detected within the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-725, which is a promising candidate for potential habitability.
Chinese researchers have developed an innovative degradable silicone-hydrogel coating that shows exceptional anti-biofouling performance in marine applications. The study presents a sustainable solution for combating microbial fouling, a major challenge in terms of marine engineering and underwater infrastructure.
Chinese and international scientists have called on the global scientific community to unite and make greater contributions toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through continued exploration at the frontiers of science and technology. The remarks were made in Beijing on Saturday at a seminar titled "Sustainable Development and Inclusive Collaboration: Responsibilities of the Scientific Community," held to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
