A research team led by Prof. WANG Lei from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that a key protein inside plants, clock component PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 9 (PRR9), has evolved for thermal adaptation, and plays a crucial role in transmitting temperature signals to keep accurate timing in plants.

A new study by researchers from the Institute of Biophysics combining functional brain imaging with measures of energy metabolism has found that patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) show greater deviations from the brain’s critical state than patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS).

Recently, a research team from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, in collaboration with Anhui Normal University, systematically screened known near-Earth asteroids. They identified multiple groups of potential asteroid pairs that may share a common origin and estimated their possible separation times.

A research team led by Prof. YANG Huangtian from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the critical role of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) in suppressing cardiomyocyte necroptosis and promoting cardiac repair following MI.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics have developed a new protein nanoparticle platform called I53cs. Designed using artificial intelligence (AI), I53cs demonstrated promising performance in animal studies and offers a versatile approach for developing next-generation vaccines.

Antibodies are an important defense against SARS-CoV-2, but the virus continues to evolve ways to evade them. Now, researchers have mapped how antibodies target a key region of the virus's spike protein, how they neutralize the virus, and how emerging variants escape them.

A research team led by Professor YAO Le from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology, in collaboration with researchers from institutions in China and abroad, has reconstructed the process and mechanism of a major warming event that occurred about 300 million years ago during the Earth's penultimate icehouse, known as the Late Paleozoic Ice Age.

An international research team from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), with collaborators, has developed a new quantum-classical framework for computing quantum many-body structure and dynamics.

A research team from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics has developed a dual-interface coordination orchestration strategy to enable high-energy aqueous zinc-iodine batteries, providing a new pathway toward safe, durable, and Ah-level aqueous Zn||I₂ pouch cells.

Researchers from the South China Botanical Garden and Uppsala University conducted a genomic study of 147 ancient, wild and cultivated Chinese swamp cypress trees and found that the evolutionary importance of ancient trees depends more on population history than on age alone.

Prof. WANG Shi'an from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his collaborators from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and the Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have proposed a new development framework called Microbe-Specific and Product-Specific Strategies.

Chinese scientists from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology and Qingdao University of Science and Technology have developed a new method to facilitate the large-scale production of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences find that even subtle variations in root characteristics among trees of the same species can restructure the entire microscopic food web in the rhizosphere.

A research team led by Prof. BI Yonghong from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered the time-resolved molecular mechanisms by which Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 responds to low-level cadmium stress.

Replacing some chemical fertilizers with manure can boost crop yields while helping soils store more carbon and nutrients, but the benefits depend on where and how long manure is applied, according to a study led by researchers at the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

A research team led by Prof. HUANG Kaiyao from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers from the School and Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of primary cilia in gingival aging.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden find that the upper and lower surfaces of a single oak leaf function as two fundamentally different microbial habitats. Its sun-drenched upper surface and shaded, humid underside harbor vastly different microbial empires, and their microbiomes show striking seasonal divergence.

The BESIII Collaboration confirmed the existence of the long-sought glueball at the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Brazil on August 5. After 15 years of research, they identified X(2370) as a pseudoscalar glueball with quantum numbers 0⁻⁺, verifying QCD predictions and marking a crucial breakthrough in strong interaction studies.
