Solar radiation may have an impact on Earth's deep interior, according to a collaborative study by researchers from China and Romania. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, was conducted by the researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics (IGG) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China University of Geosciences, and the University of Bucharest.

Chinese researchers have decoded a novel salt-tolerance gene in wheat, resulting in yield increases of 5 percent to 9 percent in experimental varieties grown in saline-alkali soils. The study findings have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.

Along with providing stable navigation services worldwide, the Beidou global satellite navigation system developed by China has been monitoring the deformation of Lake Sarez in the seismically active zone of the Pamir Plateau in eastern Tajikistan for nearly three years, predicting potential earthquakes. The monitoring system started operating in October 2021, and since its expansion the following year, the Beidou monitoring network at Sarez has been consistently monitoring millimeter-level deformations on the dam and providing data.

Researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering under the Chinese Academy of Sciences collaborated with the COSCO SHIPPING Energy Transportation Co., Ltd. to carry out a research project on marine bionic skin development in order to save energy in marine transportation.

Chinese researchers have recently discovered a link between oceanic oxygenation and early animal evolution, shedding new light on the Cambrian Explosion. To gain insights into marine habitability for the Cambrian Explosion, researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China analyzed the excess barium contents and isotope compositions of Cambrian metalliferous black shales in the Yangtze Block of South China.

The core drilling project in Nam Co, the world's highest saltwater lake in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, achieved a drilling depth exceeding 400 meters. It is of great significance in the country's lake drilling and paleoclimate study, according to scientists.

A team of Chinese scientists has harnessed the capabilities of quantum simulation to delve into the mysteries of high-temperature superconductivity, securing breakthroughs in two frontier technologies at once. The researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) constructed an ultra-cold atomic quantum simulator to address a typical model that depicts the behavior of materials in high-temperature superconductivity.

Chinese scientists have identified a new species of vampire squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis), only the second known vampire squid species in the world. Researchers from the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences collected a specimen similar to Vampyroteuthis infernalis (V. infernalis) in September 2016 at depths between 800 and 1,000 meters in the South China Sea.

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) located in southwest China's Guizhou Province has yielded significant scientific results and created a new avenue for astronomical collaboration between China and European countries in recent years.

China's home-developed deep-sea biological gene sequencer has successfully completed its sea trial, representing a great boon for the country's deep-sea research, its developer has announced. The equipment was jointly developed by researchers from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the CAS Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering.

Queqiao-2, or Magpie Bridge 2, was launched by a Long March-8 rocket from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in south China's Hainan Province, with the task of providing Earth-moon communications services.

Smart wearable devices have evolved with advanced features for a holistic health and fitness experience, monitoring heart rate, tracking step count, calculating calorie intake, and now notifying users when they need electrolyte drinks during exercise with just a flick of the wrist. Scientists from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HIPS) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have designed a wristwatch that can measure essential chemicals in body sweat.
