The world continued to see ocean heat reaching new records, as the year 2022 was the warmest in recorded human history, according to a recent study.

Chinese scientists have found a new plant species, namely Astragalus bashanensis, in central China's Hubei Province. The findings have been published in the journal PhytoKeys, sources from the Wuhan Botanical Garden under the Chinese Academy of Sciences said Tuesday. By comparing the plant with several known Astragalus species, researchers confirmed that it is a new species, with characteristics including a spreading pubescent indumentum on stems and petioles, longer petioles, white bracts, whitish or yellow corolla, longer claw of the keel-petal, hairy pods and smaller seeds.

Chinese researchers have found that greenhouse warming and internal variability have increased the frequency of extreme El Nino and Central Pacific El Nino events since 1980. The research, conducted by a team of scientists at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, was recently published in the journal Nature Communications. According to the researchers, El Nino has changed its properties since the 1980s, characterized by more common extreme El Nino and Central Pacific El Nino events. However, it had been unclear whether such change is externally forced or part of the natural variability.

Chinese scientists have discovered a mechanism for converting carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into chemicals and fuel via electrolysis, sources from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said.
