Researchers have recently uncovered that dust plays a critical role in regulating the global carbon cycle and climate change, advancing understanding of Earth's ecosystem and providing new insights for predicting the carbon cycle's evolution under global warming. The study was carried out by a joint team from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), with British and Swedish collaborators, and the findings were published online in the journal Nature Reviews Earth & Environment on Tuesday.
Chinese scientists have uncovered the key mechanism behind seismic activities in the eastern Himalayas, providing new insights into both the seismic risks and the uplift process of this archetypal mountain belt on Earth, according to a research article recently published in the journal National Science Review.
Researchers from the Institute of Semiconductors under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have achieved a breakthrough in perovskite solar cell technology, paving the way for their commercial adoption, Science and Technology Daily reported on Monday. The newly developed prototype attained a high photoconversion efficiency of 27.2 percent alongside markedly enhanced operational stability. These findings were recently published in the journal Science.
Chinese scientists have uncovered a common mechanism behind two rapid-acting depression therapies, providing crucial insights for the development of new treatments with fewer side effects. Their findings have been published in Nature.
The idea of reviving dinosaurs, a long-standing science fiction trope, may be closer to reality in 100 to 200 years through advancements in artificial intelligence and new genetic methods, according to leading paleontologists at an international symposium in Shanghai. Held from Oct 28 to 31, the four-day China's Dinosaurs: From Research to Science Education symposium brought together over 20 top international paleontologists to discuss breakthroughs and the future direction of paleontology.
Chinese scientists have, for the first time, discovered rare-earth biomineralization in ferns — a breakthrough that could pave the way for a cleaner and more sustainable method of extracting rare-earth elements, the Global Times learned on Thursday. The research team, led by Zhu Jianxi from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, achieved the milestone through phytomining — a green technique that uses hyperaccumulator plants to extract metals from soil — offering a potential solution to the environmental challenges of traditional rare-earth mining.
