A research team led by Chinese scientists has synthesized a new isotope protactinium-210 for the first time, which is currently the most neutron-deficient isotope of protactinium. The findings have been published in the journal Nature Communications.

China's experience in the conservation of the Yangtze finless porpoise using advanced monitoring equipment and artificial intelligence is being applied to the protection of Irrawaddy dolphins in the Mekong River in Cambodia.

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 researchers have released a streamflow dataset of Tianshan Mountains watersheds, the key source region of Central Asian rivers. The study, led by researchers from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was published in the journal Scientific Data.

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).

Chinese scientists have made groundbreaking discoveries about East Asia's ancient populations by analyzing DNA from 127 individuals who lived in southwest China's Yunnan province between 7,100 and 1,400 years ago.

China launched its first asteroid sample-return mission, Tianwen-2, in the early hours of Thursday, an endeavour to shed light on the formation and evolution of asteroids and the early solar system. The Tianwen-2 mission aims to achieve multiple goals over a decade-long expedition: collecting samples from the near-Earth asteroid 2016HO3 and exploring the main-belt comet 311P, which is more distant than Mars.

With years of effort, scientists from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences managed to develop passive acoustic monitoring devices capable of capturing real-time underwater signals. These devices automatically identify the porpoises' unique vocalizations, pinpoint their locations and track their movements.

Senior officials and scholars from China and Denmark have pledged to deepen cooperation on green innovation during an event marking the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The event was jointly hosted by China's Ministry of Science and Technology and Denmark's Ministry of Higher Education and Science. It featured a series of activities, including the China-Denmark Cooperation Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation. The Beijing venue of the event was the Sino-Danish College (SDC) under the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Chinese scientists have developed FLARE, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to predict stellar flares, offering a transformative tool for astronomical research, the Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) announced on Tuesday.

Prof. WANG Feiteng from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences returns each year to the Dagu Glacier in an act of stubborn defiance: wrapping parts of the glacier in white, heat-reflective fabric; spraying artificial snow into thinning air; trying techniques borrowed from ski resorts and Olympic venues — anything that might slow the melt long enough to matter.

​China has made a significant breakthrough in building a high-speed "data highway" between satellites and the ground. According to the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a new-generation high-throughput satellite-to-ground data transmission system has been successfully tested, an official announcement showed on Monday.

Chinese researchers have discovered molecular evidence supporting a long-debated evolutionary theory, showing that rice plants can pass on cold tolerance to their offspring -- a phenomenon aligned with Lamarckism, the 19th-century idea that acquired traits can be inherited.

A recent study has revealed how decades of land-use change have significantly shaped ecological conditions in the Tarim River Basin, China's largest inland river basin. The study, published in the journal Geography and Sustainability, was led by researchers from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Chinese scientists have recently discovered that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau acts as the only net greenhouse gas (GHG) sink region in China. The study, led by Wang Tao, a researcher from the Institute of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was published in the journal Science Bulletin this month.

An international team led by Chinese scientists has developed revolutionary contact lenses that allow humans to see near-infrared light, a breakthrough that could transform medical imaging and visual assistance technologies. The study, published in the journal Cell on Thursday, combines visual neuroscience with rare earth elements to create transparent, wearable lenses that convert invisible infrared light into visible images.

A team of Chinese scientists has discovered an extremely rare pulsar that gets partially blocked by its companion star every few hours, like a cosmic game of hide-and-seek. The findings, published in the latest issue of the journal Science, could help solve long-standing mysteries about how stars evolve in pairs.
