Chinese researchers recently released a rock glacier dataset for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in western China, providing not only baseline data for climate change research, but also a reference for engineering construction and disaster prevention.

A temporary reversal in Antarctic ice-sheet mass loss from July 2021 to April 2023 has been traced to multiyear warming in the tropical warm pool spanning the western Pacific and eastern Indian oceans, according to a study by researchers from China, the United States, Japan, Belgium and Hungary.

China's growing radio astronomy capacity, led by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), can help scientists tackle some of astronomy's biggest unanswered questions, renowned Polish astronomer Aleksander Wolszczan has said.

As global challenges grow increasingly interconnected, technological solutions are rarely confined to a single country. Through research collaboration, open sharing of expertise and partnerships with international institutions, Chinese scientists, engineers and enterprises are engaging more deeply with the world, contributing tools and experience to problems that demand collective answers.The Global Times launches a series of "Tech Seeds, Global Bloom," spotlighting China's achievements in advancing technology for good both domestically and internationally. By following these trajectories, the series invites readers to consider a different measure of progress: Not how advanced technology becomes, but whom it ultimately serves, and how widely its benefits can spread.This is the seventh installment. This article examines how metaramanomics technologies developed by the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, are entering leading laboratories in the UK and the US, supporting global scientists in decoding microbial metabolism and advancing green biomanufacturing, microbiome research and environmental sustainability.

The 110-meter radio telescope in Qitai, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, hit a key milestone on August 18 with its antenna support structure hoisted into place. Construction began in September 2022, and the main framework is now taking shape. With completion set for 2027 and full operation by 2028, the facility will fill China's need for ultra-large antennas in deep-space and radio astronomy.

CAS Space, a leading Chinese commercial space company, has completed a series of propulsion system tests for its Kinastra 1 upper stage, clearing the way for the vehicle's maiden flight in the first quarter of next year.

Scientists have reconstructed a dramatic warming event that shook Earth around 300 million years ago, and their findings now serve as a stark warning about the planet's future. An international team led by researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology (NIGPAS) and Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has pieced together this ancient hot spell, known as the Kasimovian-Gzhelian Thermal Maximum.

In recent days, a scientific expedition to the Muz Taw Glacier in Altay was carried out by a research team from the Altay Mountains comprehensive observation and research station, in an effort to better understand the glacier's response to climate change and provide scientific data for glacier protection and water resources management in the region.

Chinese scientists have identified a new germanium-rich mineral, wusiheite, a discovery that provides fresh insight into how the strategic metal becomes highly concentrated in ore deposits and could help improve its extraction and utilization.

Chinese researchers have identified widespread corrugated structures in the Milky Way for the first time, offering fresh observational evidence for understanding the galaxy's three-dimensional architecture and dynamic evolution.

Three scientists won the 2026 Future Science Prize for their outstanding research, prize organizers in Beijing announced Thursday. Zhang Hong, a researcher at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, received the prize in life sciences for his pioneering contributions to discovering the mechanism and function unique to autophagy, or "self-eating," in multicellular organisms.

Chinese researchers have for the first time confirmed the existence of the glueball, an entirely new form of matter, according to the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). This finding comes after 15 years of experimental research.

China's comprehensive research vessel KEXUE docked at a wharf base of the Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences on Friday, marking the conclusion of a shared research cruise in the western Pacific after a 35-day voyage covering 5,845 nautical miles. The data and samples obtained during the cruise will provide scientific support for more accurate typhoon forecasting and global climate change research.

A new study led by IAP scientists identifies the mechanisms driving rising CH4 emissions from Siberian permafrost regions under rapid Arctic warming, providing scientific evidence for global methane-mitigation policies and research into regional climate thresholds.

The botanical garden, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences currently, hosts 111 international researchers and students. Though only a small fraction of China's landmass lies in the tropics, the institute is helping train a new generation of researchers to safeguard rainforests across the world.

A 100-million-year-old beetle preserved in amber is offering scientists a rare peek into the early evolution of fireflies' signature light shows and their remarkable antennae. The fossil, unearthed from Kachin amber in Myanmar, belongs to a newly identified genus named Icaroramus. An international team led by the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS), reported the discovery recently in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Scientists using China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory recently found that a remarkable binary system in the constellation Cygnus, Cygnus X-3, is the most powerful particle accelerator discovered to date, according to the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
