After five years of joint scientific research, Chinese and Uzbek scientists have revealed key factors behind the shrinking of the Aral Sea over the past 20 years, including climate warming and a lack of water-saving technology in farmlands.

China has successfully made its first giant main bearing for tunnel boring machines, a major engineering breakthrough that experts said would allow the country to reduce its imports of the core component for building underground infrastructure such as subways.

China released on Tuesday the first batch of scientific images captured by the country's Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S), also known as Kuafu-1, a satellite specially designed to carry out comprehensive probes of the Sun.

By studying lunar samples retrieved by the Chang'e-5 mission, Chinese scientists found that lunar soil grains retain more solar wind-implanted water at the middle latitude region than previously thought.

Chinese researchers have designed a contactless monitoring method for the electrocardiogram (ECG) which does not require application of an electrode or the removal of clothing.

An international research team has found that black carbon is affecting the water sustainability of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, according to the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Chinese scientists used ancient tree pollen to reveal when the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was uplifted into its current height, providing new clues to the formation of the roof of the world.

The vast space between billions of stars in the Milky Way is not empty, but filled with thin interstellar medium. Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), Chinese scientists revealed the unprecedented details of the Galactic interstellar medium.

China's space station, Tiangong, will get busier exploring space science and technology in the following years, as the newly launched Shenzhou-15 mission wraps up the last stage of its construction and kicks off the first stage of its application and development.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Saturday released the first batch of scientific data produced by two satellites sent into space two years ago to detect gamma-ray bursts.

Chinese scientists have successfully developed the first lander-based multi-channel Raman spectroscopy system, which can be mounted on the lander to form a deep-sea, in-situ spectroscopy lab in the South China Sea.

Chinese scientists have reconstructed a complete dataset of the lake ice phenology of 132 lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 1978 to 2016, said the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
