Researchers from the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed that pressure induces superconductivity in the two-dimensional van der Waals heavy-fermion metal CeSiI, establishing a new platform for studying unconventional superconductivity near an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point in reduced dimensions.

A research team led by the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering has developed a novel synergistic metallization approach for tunnel oxide passivated contact solar cells. By integrating an aluminum-free silver paste with a precision laser treatment, they achieved a certified power conversion efficiency of 26.31%.

Researchers led by Associate Researcher Kadirya Tursun from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory carried out 18-26 GHz broadband spectral-line observations of the W33 giant molecular cloud and determined the physical and chemical properties of the dense clumps within it.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, together with international collaborators, developed new approaches to improve the reliability of reasoning in large language models and proposed a benchmark system to better evaluate AI model generalization.

A new study led by researchers from Shanghai Astronomical Observatory finds that the apparent "early galaxy crisis" suggested by James Webb Space Telescope observations could result from a structural degeneracy in the interpretation of reionization observations.

Researchers from the the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory found that intense radiation from protostars can suppress further fragmentation of the surrounding hot molecular cores, thereby creating favorable conditions for massive stars to continue accreting material and growing.

The High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), which began trial operations on July 21, has enabled Chinese scientists to observe an extremely rare isotope, hafnium-153. This marks the first physics result achieved during HIAF's commissioning phase, highlighting the facility's capability to explore the boundaries of the nuclear landscape.

Researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, in collaboration with Zhejiang University and Yongjiang Laboratory, have developed a sublayer chemistry strategy to synthesize MXenes with both semiconducting and ferromagnetic properties.

A research team led by Prof. PAN Qingmin from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that the negative impacts of plant diversity decline on grassland productivity gradually diminish over time through a 16 years removal experiment in the Inner Mongolia grassland, contrasting the findings of long-term biodiversity experiments with artificially-assembled plant communities.

LI Yanda, a Ph.D. student at the University of Bristol, together with Professor CAI Chenyang from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, has discovered a remarkably well-preserved 100-million-year-old beetle fossil that provides a rare glimpse into the evolution of the intricate sensory and communication systems used by fireflies and their relatives today.

An international research team has discovered the earliest known siphuncle-bearing cephalopod from the early Cambrian of South China, providing new insights into the group's early origin and evolutionary history.

A team led by Prof. LI Yu from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the collaborators identified a novel mechanism by which palmitic acid induces CREBZF overactivation, impairing ICOS^hi Treg-mediated immunosuppression and exacerbating metabolic disturbance in obesity.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology have clarified how the herbicide chlorimuron-ethyl affects nitrogen cycling in soybean rhizosphere soils and demonstrated that a chlorimuron-ethyl-degrading bacterial strain, Chenggangzhangella methanolivorans CHL1, can help restore ecological stability in contaminated soils.

A new study led by scientists from the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology has revealed that lake ice loss accelerates sharply once winter temperatures cross critical thresholds, leaving many mid-latitude lakes on the brink of heightened vulnerability.

Scientists from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology and the COFCO Nutrition & Health Research Institute have developed a Raman-activated cell sorting strategy for high-throughput discovery of ethanol-tolerant microorganisms based on their metabolic activity rather than growth.

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory developed a high-precision hybrid calibration method to eliminate spatial systematic errors in the Gaia Data Release 3 parallaxes, providing a more reliable data baseline for measuring stellar distances, mapping the structure of the Milky Way, and establishing celestial reference frames.

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory has developed a new method to use Gaia DR3 astrometric "excess noise" to constrain the orbital inclinations of binary systems and, in turn, improve mass estimates for unseen companions.

Researchers from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators, have developed a low-noise magnetic sensor that retains high sensitivity, thereby enabling improved weak-field detection.
