A new study led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified the quantitative relationship between mesoscale convective systems and major flood events at the climate scale.
A new study has revealed that Denisovans survived on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau as late as 48-32 ka BP, by butchering and consuming a diverse range of animals. It sheds light on Denisovan behaviour, and demonstrates how adaptable Denisovans were to the harsh and variable environment of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
A research team led by Prof. YE Keqiong from the Institute of Biophysics developed a high-throughput method consisting of RNA circularization, targeted amplification, and deep sequencing (CircTA-seq) to profile ribosomal RNA (rRNA) processing intermediates at single-molecule and single-nucleotide resolution.
Researchers at the Wuhan Botanical Garden conducted germination experiments with seeds from a species-rich alpine meadow in the Hengduan Mountains to find out whether and how the germination strategies of seeds with and without pericarps were influenced by maternal conditions and intrinsic resource levels.
A team of Chinese scientists has identified a kind of mineral with water in its molecular structure in a lunar sample retrieved by Chang'e-5. An increasing body of evidence has pointed to the existence of water or water ice on the moon's surface, but it is more likely to be in the form of hydroxyl groups.
Chinese researchers have decoded a novel salt-tolerance gene in wheat, resulting in yield increases of 5 percent to 9 percent in experimental varieties grown in saline-alkali soils. The study findings have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.
Along with providing stable navigation services worldwide, the Beidou global satellite navigation system developed by China has been monitoring the deformation of Lake Sarez in the seismically active zone of the Pamir Plateau in eastern Tajikistan for nearly three years, predicting potential earthquakes. The monitoring system started operating in October 2021, and since its expansion the following year, the Beidou monitoring network at Sarez has been consistently monitoring millimeter-level deformations on the dam and providing data.
Researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering under the Chinese Academy of Sciences collaborated with the COSCO SHIPPING Energy Transportation Co., Ltd. to carry out a research project on marine bionic skin development in order to save energy in marine transportation.
