Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory conducted an analysis of archival VLBI data of the X-ray binary SS 433. By measuring the jet width as a function of distance from the central black hole, the researchers for the first time obtained the jet collimation profile in an X-ray binary.

According to a study by researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their domestic and international collaborators, forest recovery on land affected by fires, harvesting, and other disturbances has been the main contributor to China's forest carbon sink over the past three decades.

A team led by researcher CHEN Yousheng from the South China Botanical Garden identifies two new species of the genus Ormosia in the Pearl River Delta and adjacent areas:Ormosia yangjiangensis and Ormosia taishanensis.

In a collaborative study using China's FAST telescope, researchers from CAS and DESI project have found that although cosmic star formation has plummeted, the supply of neutral atomic hydrogen—the fuel for galaxy formation—has remained nearly stable, decreasing only slightly.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics revealed that a distinct population of macrophages can directly engulf scar-forming material in the liver and promote the reversal of liver fibrosis. The finding reveals an unrecognized mechanism by which macrophages help clear fibrotic tissue: not by secreting factors, but by physically removing the extracellular matrix.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have provided the clearest family tree yet for Androsace. They confirmed that several formerly recognized g​enera, including Douglasia, Vitaliana, and Pomatosace are actually part of Androsace, and should be treated as one broader group.

A team led by Prof. CHONG Kang from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) gene designated Tolerance to Salt 1 (TOLS1), and revealed how it shapes rice salt tolerance, providing new genetic resources and insights for breeding salt-tolerant rice varieties.

A research team led by Prof. CHU Junhao at the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics has developed an atomic-scale stepwise evaporation method called Step-Eva that enables the direct in situ growth of single-crystal metal films on semiconductors.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have established a robust functional-trait framework to predict the growth performance across nine hybrid cultivars of balsa. This framework provides a powerful tool to accelerate breeding programs and help meet supply-chain demands in sectors such as wind energy and aerospace manufacturing.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a Mo alloy that combines high strength, good ductility, and excellent thermal stability at high temperatures.

A research group led by Dr. LI Lei from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered a flexible warning system that helps soybean defend different tissues.

Researchers from the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of CAS revealed that the transcription factor Tcf15 maintains an open nucleolar chromatin state to safeguard ribosome biogenesis and genome stability in mouse ESCs.

A team led by Prof. MENG Guowen and Prof. CHEN Bin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a high-entropy antiperovskite electrode (InN(NiCoFeCrV)₃) supported by nickel foam for efficient AEM water electrolysis, improving the efficiency and durability of hydrogen production.

Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reconstructed a significant part of the evolutionary history of Euphorbia section Monadenium.

A research team led by Prof. REN Wencai from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved the wafer-scale epitaxial growth of monolayer MoSi₂N₄ single crystals, a high-performance p-type two-dimensional semiconductor.

A team led by Profs. WANG Bo and YU Tao from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology developed an artificial photosynthetic hydrogel microsphere (APHM) which integrates photocatalysis, microbial CO₂ fixation and downstream biotransformation within a single platform, providing a new route for programmable CO₂ valorization.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Tao from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography with collaborators has recently published a systematic reference framework for advancing Spray-Induced Gene Silencing from proof-of-concept toward industrialization.

Scientists from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered that increasing temperature weakens spin-orbit coupling in topological insulators, driving a transition from topological to normal insulating states.
