A team of Chinese scientists has confirmed the first live birth of a monkey that contains a high proportion of cells derived from a monkey stem cell line, which paves the way for scientists to use chimeric primates to study human diseases. The experiment demonstrated that the monkey stem cells, a type of cell able to develop into many different cell types, could efficiently contribute to placental tissues outside the embryo and germ cells.

Opening a clamshell of berries and seeing them coated in fuzzy mold is a downer. And it's no small problem. Gray mold and other fungi, which cause fruit to rot, lead to significant economic losses and food waste. Now, researchers report in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that compounds from sunflower crop waste prevented rotting in blueberries. They suggest the food industry could use these natural compounds to protect against postharvest diseases.

The researchers from the IAP and the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the CAS conducted the ground-based remote sensing and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) observation experiments for greenhouse gases in urban areas and key industries in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, and Nanning, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The system is expected to be applied in future carbon monitoring campaigns to increase the spatiotemporal coverage of carbon emission information.

Scientists at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, designed and built "GoMars," a global open planetary atmospheric model for Mars. Tne new numerical model can simulate the atmospheric environment of Mars, offering research support for China's sample-return mission to the red planet.

Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences are investigating how the blubber thickness of Yangtze Finless Porpoises in human care varies with water temperature. By monitoring four Yangtze finless porpoises using ultrasound imaging technology, the scientists investigated the variation patterns of blubber thickness and their relationship to environmental temperature changes.

China has recently launched the construction of two 40-meter-aperture radio telescopes in Shigatse, located in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, and in Changbai Mountain area in northeast China's Jilin Province, respectively.

The first Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange kicked off in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality on Monday.

An international research team led by Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved a breakthrough in fabricating perovskite solar cells, with a maximum power conversion efficiency of 26.1 percent.

An international team of scientists from China and the United States has made a remarkable discovery, suggesting that two massive objects buried in the Earth's deep mantle could be relics from the moon's formation about 4.5 billion years ago.

Chinese researchers have discovered a new type of biological cells that accumulate in the spinal cords of humans and other primates and drive the process of spinal-cord aging.

The fifth batch of space science experiment samples from the China Space Station returned with the Shenzhou-16 manned spaceship and was delivered to scientists on Tuesday.

Chinese scientists have developed an atlas of high-throughput sequencing DNA damage and repair, which could help in promoting tumor prevention and treatment.
