A team led by Prof. LIU Zhiyong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has revealed a novel octameric resistosome formed by an activated wheat CC_G10-NLR immune receptor, which induces Ca²⁺ influx and immune responses through a unique channel architecture.

A research team led by Prof. DONG Zhichao from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry has developed a new one-step fabrication strategy—termed MARS (Molecularly Assembled Robust Superhydrophobic Shell)—for producing superhydrophobic fabrics with stable mechanical performance under harsh conditions.

A new letter highlights that safeguarding biodiversity in the Third Pole—the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and surrounding mountain systems—will depend not only on scientific research and policy implementation, but on greater recognition and support for local communities and their biocultural practices.

A study led by Dr. WANG Xin from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences quantified the foliar nitrogen uptake capacity of dominant canopy trees in natural tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems, and revealed distinct regulatory mechanisms across leaf ages.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences examined how plants regulate phytoremediation efficiency through growth-defense trade-offs in environments contaminated by heavy metals.

A study led by Prof. MA Yingfei from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered a vast repertoire of Acrs from human gut phages. It identified 651 potential Acrs targeting type II CRISPR systems, which dominate the gut bacterial landscape, and discovered a novel family of structurally convergent, dual-function Acrs named GutAcr_aca.

A team of researchers from the Shenyang Institute of Automation has developed a new framework that significantly improves the precision control of wireless cloud robotic systems. By combining reconfigurable intelligent surface technology with a multi-agent transfer reinforcement learning algorithm, the researchers achieved coordinated optimization of robotic control and wireless communication, addressing a longstanding bottleneck in the field.

A research team led by KONG Lingtao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a series of high-performance membranes capable of efficiently degrading emerging contaminants such as antibiotics, and demonstrated their applications in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.

A research team led by scientists from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with partners, has developed a novel high-spatial-resolution mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) instrument using a single-mode fiber image relay. The system delivers a spatial resolution of 800 nm, allowing researchers to resolve lipid metabolism heterogeneity during drug-induced cell apoptosis at the single-cell level.

A research team from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNST) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel artificial intelligence model for optimizing ionizable lipids, tackling two long-standing bottlenecks in messenger RNA (mRNA) drug delivery: low efficiency and the absence of precise organ targeting.

A research team led by Prof. ZHENG Aihua from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) epigenetic modifications in mosquito-borne flaviviruses (MBFs) enhance viral propagation in vertebrates and thus increase transmission from vertebrates to mosquitoes.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University have examined the respiratory effects of inhaled nanoplastics and found that repeated exposure to nanoplastics can induce sustained pulmonary injury in mice.

A new academic volume led by the Kunming Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been published by Springer, offering a comprehensive examination of human–nature relationships across Asia under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.

A research team from the Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology (APM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with other institutions, has experimentally observed the transition behavior between two types of exceptional points in non-Hermitian quantum systems for the first time, using an ion-trap chip independently developed by APM.

A research team from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has conducted high-sensitivity radio observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS using the Tianma Telescope, marking the facility's first detection of an interstellar object.
