Researchers from the Institute of Zoology have mapped the human embryonic urogenital system in space from Carnegie stages 15 to 23, showing the codevelopment of human urogenital system at the levels of chemical signaling, cellular communication, and hormonal coordination.

Combining Sagittarius stream stars' chemistry and motions with N-body simulations, researchers from the National Astronomical Observatories found evidence for a rotating stellar disk with an unusual ∧-like metallicity profile in its progenitor. Similar profiles were identified in three other surviving dwarf galaxies.

Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an AI system that can distinguish genuine superconducting magnet quenches from magnetic interference within milliseconds, offering a new approach to protecting superconducting magnets.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Peng at the Institute of Biophysics combined high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging with behavioral experiments in healthy adults and patients with cortical hemianopia to reveal how attention and conscious awareness differentially influence collision detection through subcortical pathways.
