Chinese scientists have become the first in the world to obtain the near-atomic map of a protein complex, which will aid in the development of oral medicine against osteoporosis. Across the world, 200 million people suffer from osteoporosis.

Scientists have for the first time seen clearly the dynamic structure of the receptor of human parathyroid hormone,of which the secretion is closely related to diseases including osteoporosis, hypoparathyroidism,and cachexia.The revelation provides valuable insights into discovering novel therapeutics against such diseases.

Research into lunar meteorites by a team of Chinese scientists has provided new evidence to support the giant-impact theory, which argues that the moon was formed after a Mars-sized body impacted the Earth 4.5 billion years ago.

Chinese astronomers have made contributions to a global effort to capture the first-ever image of a supermassive black hole at the heart of the distant galaxy M87. The image of the black hole, based on observations through the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a planet-scale array of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged through international collaboration, was unveiled in coordinated press conferences across the globe at around 9:00 p.m. (Beijing time) on Wednesday.

The Event Horizon Telescope researchers reveal that they have succeeded, unveiling the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow. Chinese astronomers contribute to paradigm-shifting observations of the gargantuan black hole at the heart of distant galaxy Messier 87.

A sodium-ion battery power storage plant has been put into operation in east China's Jiangsu Province, the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) said Tuesday. The plant, co-developed by the institute and tech firm HiNa Battery, has a storage capacity of 100 KWh. It has successfully delivered electricity to a research center affiliated to the institute.

China has developed a comprehensive and reliable detection system of water-related parameters to meet its urgent demand for addressing extreme weather alert as well as weather forecast in both short and long range. The project, officially called "Industrialization and Commercialization of Equipment on Water-related Meteorological Parameters Measurement," is led by Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics and Hefei Institutes of Physical Science.

The greenhouse of the Beijing Botanic Garden run by the Institute of Botany under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will reopen to the public Wednesday after a massive renovation since late 2017. The renovation has greatly enhanced the capacity of the garden in conserving and displaying floral diversity, said Wang Yingwei, executive director of the CAS Beijing Botanic Garden.

Chinese scientists have made progress in helping cut down the cost of driverless vehicles used in special areas like airports or scenic parks. According to a research team at the Hefei Institute of Physical Science affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, cost-efficiency could be obtained by optimizing an environment-sensing algorithm and laser radars.

Scientists from Russia and China will cooperate in the exploration of marine life and mineral resources in the deep sea, particularly in the Arctic region, Andrei Adrianov, vice-president of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said at a news conference on Wednesday.

China's leading robot maker Siasun has developed an intelligent operation system, which makes robot remote control possible using a smartphone. Wearing a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses, an operator is able to receive data in real time, monitor the production process of the robots in the workshop and set a production order with the smartphone.

Chinese researchers have found why cholesterol-control drug gemfibrozil and synthetic chemical pirinixic acid could be used to treat Alzheimer's disease. According to researchers from Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, PPARA is a gene encoding a protein that is a key regulator of lipid metabolism and activates hepatic autophagy.

Chinese scientists have developed a fully bioabsorbable capacitor as an energy storage unit, which can be used for powering implantable medical electronics. The capacitor is 1.5 centimeters long, 1.5 centimeters wide and one millimeter high.

The Zhangjiang Life and Health Industry (Incubator) Alliance ("Alliance") has announced that it would host the “2019 Shanghai International Laboratory Ventilation Equipment Open” between July to September this year at the ATLATL Innovation Cluster, located at the heart of Zhangjiang High-Tech Park.

An international team of astronomers are making observation plans for the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), by far the largest telescope ever built, expecting discoveries to change human understanding of the universe.

Chinese researchers have identified a gene linked to severe acne in Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in China. In the new study, researchers applied IBD to analyze data from a 2014 study and identified F13A1, a gene linked to severe acne.

Chinese scientists have developed a new method to improve wound dressings by enhancing their capacity for promoting blood coagulation and wound healing. Scientists from the Institute of Biophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Science and Technology Beijing have changed the traditional structure of wound dressings by creating a kind of sponge with a three-dimensional layered nanofiber sponge.

The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) – a high-intensity proton accelerator-based stable neutron source – has now completed its first round of operations after officially passing national acceptance and opening to users last summer.
