A Hong Kong research center under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has unveiled its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model for the healthcare industry, providing efficient clinical diagnosis and helping doctors in complex neurosurgery. The development highlights the increasingly close academic collaboration between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong, showcasing the country's leading position in the sector.

Chinese researchers have revealed the anti-tumor characteristic of neutrophils -- a type of white blood cells -- and the related molecular regulation mechanism, providing new insights into cancer diagnosis and treatment. The discovery, made by researchers at the Shanghai Institute of Immunity and Infection under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Fudan University, was published in the journal Cell on Tuesday.

A group of Chinese brain scientists got inspired by space exploration and designed a real-time analysis system for whole-brain imaging of zebrafish, a model animal used in biomedical research to mimic biological processes or diseases found in humans. The researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences realized that high-throughput neural data analysis is similar to how scientists deal with fast radio burst observations in astronomical research.

Researchers have developed a new method using machine learning and multiple data sets to estimate irrigation water use (IWU) across China, and also revealed how water use might change in the future based on different climate and economic scenarios.

A global team of researchers has made strides in refining weather forecasting methods using machine learning. Their study proposes a non-crossing quantile regression neural network (NCQRNN), for calibrating ensemble NWP forecasts into a set of reliable quantile forecasts without crossing.

Chinese researchers have recently made strides in improving precipitation forecast using a novel approach that combines physics and artificial intelligence (AI). The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, was conducted by a research team led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

An international research team led by Chinese scientists has found that East Asian hominins had possessed advanced stone tool technology as early as 1.1 million years ago, much earlier than previously thought. The study is of great significance to the study of the evolution and innovation of early Paleolithic technology, said Pei Shuwen with the IVPP, one of the corresponding authors of the study.

Wang Yifang, the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, called for more efforts and investments in promoting development of basic research. The planning of large-scale scientific facilities and basic research requires long-term perspective and more investment, he said.

DICP researchers have developed a new high-energy lithiumion battery that can operate reliably in temperatures as low as — 60 C, a feat that could significantly improve the performance of electric vehicles and other devices in extremely cold regions.

Chinese scientists have successfully resolved the largest and most complex chloroplast RNA polymerase structure, a major mystery in the scientific community for decades. Zhang Yu from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Zhou Fei from Huazhong Agricultural University published their study in Cell on Friday.

A team of Chinese zoologists have identified a genetic source making the coat color of some giant pandas appear unusually brown and white. The world's first brown panda was discovered in 1985 in the Qinling Mountains in northwest China's Shaanxi Province. All recorded photographs of the wild brown pandas were taken in the area. A recent adopted one is the male brown-and-white panda Qizai born in 2009.

Fendouzhe (Striver), China's first manned submersible able to operate at the bottom of the sea, is the achievement and demonstration of China's scientific and technological innovation in the new era, Ye Cong, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) said on Monday.
