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.

The Ming'antu observing station of the National Space Science Center, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Zhengxiangbai Banner, Xilin Gol League, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Scientists from CAS Institute of Atmospheric Physics and Fudan University have developed an AI-physics based ensemble forecast system for typhoons. The new system overcomes the limitations of purely data-driven models and is also expected to be extended to ensemble forecasting for other high-impact weather events.

China's monitoring technologies and conservation experience for the critically endangered freshwater cetacean, the Yangtze finless porpoise, have been thoroughly studied and adopted by neighboring Southeast Asian countries through in-depth academic and ecological exchanges.

A group of Chinese researchers has revealed a pulsar that can simultaneously exhibit three key emission variability phenomena, overturning the previous observations that pulsars showed only one or two kinds of radiation variations, according to a research article recently published in The Astrophysical Journal.

Chinese scientists have proposed a novel concept of programmable plant synthetic immunity, marking a milestone breakthrough in plant immune engineering. The achievement establishes an on-demand design platform for synthetic plant immune receptors, providing a universal technical pathway for cultivating durable and broad-spectrum crop resistance.

A study led by Chinese scientists to develop a mercury (Hg) dataset derived from air, aerosols, glaciers, soils and other environmental samples over the country's Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is expected to provide scientific support for environmental policymaking.

Recently, Prof. WANG Junqiang from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was interviewed by Singapore's Channel News Asia (CNA). Scientists at NIMTE discovered helium-3 trapped in bubbles within lunar soil retrieved by China's Chang'e-5 mission, and highlighted its strategic value as a fusion fuel for China's growing energy demand from AI and electric vehicles.

Chinese scientists have taken a crucial step from "seeing" to "reading" a black hole, unveiling the first spatially resolved spectral index map of the M87 black hole on the event horizon scale, revealing the gradient of the spectral index with distance from the center.

A technical road map that natively embeds artificial intelligence across the full life cycle of advanced nuclear energy systems was unveiled on Friday at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, aiming to tackle one of the most challenging issues in industrial AI — deploying AI algorithms in fields with zero tolerance for safety failures.

​China on Tuesday kicked off trial operations for the High Intensity Heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) following its completion and official technological acceptance, marking a major milestone in the nation's quest to unlock the secrets of the universe's fundamental building blocks.

An upgraded 2.0 version of the ScienceOne Omni scientific foundation model was launched on Friday at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in east China's Shanghai, according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Friday launched a large collection of curated scientific and technological texts and data designed to help artificial intelligence models understand specialized scientific knowledge.

Are sinkholes safe havens or evolutionary traps? A new study by Chinese researchers suggests they might be both and that the dark side wins. In a study published in Current Biology on Tuesday, researchers from the South China Botanical Garden (SCBG) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the CAS Guangxi Institute of Botany found that colossal karst sinkholes can help preserve the endangered Magnolia aromatica tree, but also limit gene flow and diminish its long-term evolutionary potential.

The farside of the Moon receives solar wind particles at nearly full speed, while its Earth-facing side is hit by the same wind after it has been slowed by nearly half, according to a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience on Wednesday.

Two scientists from China and the United States will receive the prestigious UNESCO-Russia Mendeleev International Prize in the Basic Sciences at an award ceremony to be held on July 17 in Paris, France. Pan Jianwei and Sergei S. Sheiko are the laureates of the third edition of the prize, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's statement on Friday.

Chinese scientists have set a new world record for next-generation solar cells, bringing lightweight, flexible and highly efficient solar power closer to everyday use on everything from wearable devices to space stations. The researchers achieved a certified steady-state power conversion efficiency of 28.04 percent using a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell. This tandem architecture integrates two complementary light-absorbing subcells to harvest a broader range of the solar spectrum than traditional single-layer devices.

Leading scientists pledged to accelerate the translation of research into productive forces, voicing strong support for President Xi Jinping's call to deepen the integration of sci-tech innovation with industrial innovation and build a financial system suited to technological advancement.
