A research team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography has found that magnesium oxide nanoparticle priming can improve lead tolerance and nutritional quality in mungbean sprouts through coordinated physiological and metabolic responses.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators revealed that plant community turnover and nematode body width play fundamental roles in shaping soil nematode diversity across different spatial scales.

A research group from the Institute of Hydrobiology has uncovered a previously unrecognized function of the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein under hypoxic conditions, revealing that MAVS can respond not only to viral infection but also to low-oxygen stress.

Scientists from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, have clarified the dual regulatory role of niobium (Nb) in the microstructural stability of high-silicon austenitic stainless steel, offering a new strategy to suppress austenite decomposition during long-term service at elevated temperatures.

Researchers from the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an electrocatalytic method for synthesizing foscarnet from carbon dioxide and phosphite at room temperature.

Joint observations from China's Einstein Probe satellite and LHAASO showed an extraordinarily long X-ray tail near a pulsar about 4,600 light-years from Earth—one that had never before been seen in full. The tail extends about 42 light-years and stretches in the same direction as ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray emission detected by LHAASO, with the two showing a close spatial match.

A joint team led by Prof. YAN Liangliang from the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Vivian Wing‑Wah YAM from the University of Hong Kong revealed solvent‑ and temperature‑driven reversible isomerization between two cubic octanuclear copper(I) cluster isomers, Cu8‑1 and Cu8‑2.

Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified the lysine-specific methyltransferase SET domain-containing lysine methyltransferase 7 (SET7) as a critical negative regulator of antiviral innate immunity.

A research team led by Prof. FENG Wei from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with QX Biopharmaceuticals, has identified the molecular mechanism by which the humanized monoclonal antibody QX007N neutralizes interleukin-33 (IL-33). IL-33 is a key regulator of immune responses that is implicated in inflammatory and allergic diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

A comparative brain-imaging study led by Prof. LIU Ning's research team from the Institute of Biophysics has revealed how the neural architecture underlying self-processing has been conserved and reorganized during primate evolution.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that foliar application of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNP) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) can significantly alleviate saline and alkaline stress in grain amaranth.

A team led by ZHAO Ziguang from the Hangzhou Institute of Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a multiphasic-gel-based ion transporter (GIT) system that uses ions to reproduce features of neural signal processing. This system combines low-energy operation with synapse-like learning and memory, and has been integrated with a rat nerve to demonstrate biologically driven signal processing.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified a new genus and species of flowering plant in the dry-hot valleys of the Red River basin in southwest China's Yunnan Province. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses confirmed that the plant constitutes a new genus within the Marsdenieae tribe of the Apocynaceae family.

A team of researchers led by Prof. MENG Guowen and Prof. TANG Haibin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed self-supported electrodes which improve the conversion rate of CO₂ into CO and n-propanol.

Researchers from South China Botanical Garden found that tree species diversity affects microbial necromass, particularly fungal necromass, before changes emerge in total soil carbon and nitrogen during temperate afforestation, suggesting that fungal necromass may serve as an early indicator of belowground carbon changes.

Researchers from South China Botanical Garden report that photoperiod and UV-B coordinate ICR1 to control seed isoflavonoid accumulation in soybean, offering genetic resources for quality improvement and revealing how seasonal light changes boost isoflavonoid accumulation.

Heatwaves over land worldwide are beginning earlier, ending later, and occurring over longer seasons, while the first heatwave of the season has recently shifted toward faster onset, according to a study led by researchers from the South China Botanical Garden.

Researchers from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics proposed a"seawater to hydrogen and fresh water" route that couples alkaline water electrolysis with low-temperature vacuum distillation desalination.
