The 5th World Congress of Biosphere Reserves (WCBR) will be held in Hangzhou, the capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, from Sept. 22 to 25, according to Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). This marks the first time the conference is being held in Asia, said He Hongping, vice president of CAS, at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on Tuesday. The event will bring together some 4,000 delegates from over 150 countries and regions.
Chinese scientists have revealed for the first time the three-dimensional structure of the light energy utilization system of Coccolithophores, a famous photosynthetic organism, shedding light on designing new photosynthetic proteins to cope with climate change. The research findings were published as the cover story in the journal Science on Friday.
To accurately identify cancer cells, a research team led by Han Shuo from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has applied proximity labeling technology from chemical biology research to disease treatment. They have successfully constructed an engineered nanozyme that responds to deep-red light or ultrasound, which is described as a "nano-tagging robot" that can precisely identify cancer cells, according to Han.
Chinese researchers have recently systematically interpreted the manuring principles of ancient China from the perspective of an ancient Chinese philosophical framework, according to the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
When scientists established China's first ecosystem research station for temperate steppe on this vast grassland 46 years ago, it took a five-hour drive to the nearest town just to make a phone call. Today, the scene has changed dramatically: drones soar overhead, satellites monitor from space, and LiDAR technology meticulously scans the vegetation below. This integrated network is aimed at safeguarding the grasslands of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in northern China.
Chinese researchers have developed a hybrid framework to trace sources and change of on-road carbon dioxide emissions in real time with 30-meter resolution, according to a research article recently published in the journal Sustainable Cities and Society.This technology is being applied in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, and is expected to be used in more cities in the future to assess and promote carbon dioxide reduction on urban roads.
