Scientists have found a rare orchid species, named Chiloschista densiflora, in Metok County of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

Chinese scientists have developed the first superionic hydride ion conductor at ambient conditions, according to the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

A new study has revealed that the mass loss of 2.7 gigaton (Gt) lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalayas has been significantly underestimated from 2000 to 2020, due to the inability of satellites to see glacier changes occurring underwater.

Chinese researchers recently assessed the causal relationships between the human microbiome and longevity, finding certain types of microbes were related to increased or decreased odds of longevity.

Chinese researchers have studied the long-term global distribution of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) that has great significance on air pollution control, forest fire prevention and climate research, and found that the AOD experienced a slight downward trend in the Northern Hemisphere during the past 20 years, according to a recent research article published in the journal Atmospheric Environment.

A team of Chinese researchers arrived on Sunday at the Arjin Mountains, an uninhabited zone in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, for the first scientific survey of the area in 40 years.

The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) has become the world's first sky survey telescope to release more than 22 million spectra, said the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC).

A solar telescope array in southwest China, which will be the largest of its kind in the world after completion, has implemented the country's first pulsar detection system based on radio image sequences, and in the process identified a pulsar blinking.
