Dr. FENG Jian from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published an OPINION article which outlined a microbiome-informed framework for improving salinity tolerance in alfalfa and other crops, providing new insights for sustainable agriculture in salt-affected soils.

A study led by MA Yinzhong's team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences provided an integrated perspective on how glial cells contribute to disease progression through metabolic reprogramming, inflammatory amplification, and neurovascular dysfunction.

A two-year field study led by WANG Yongcui from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified how native vegetation configurations influence the recovery and stability of desertified grasslands at different stages of degradation.

A recent study led by Prof. FENG Xiaojuan from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed a transcontinental divergence in soil carbon stock responses to decades of wetland drainage, which challenges the assumption that drainage generally causes wetland soil organic carbon (SOC) loss.

A research team led by Prof. HUANG Xuan from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with researchers from Anhui Medical University, developed an intelligent TMS medical robot, enabling high-precision, image-guided neuromodulation therapy. The system is already been used in clinics.

A research team led by ZHANG Meichao from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified an organizational principle within the default mode network that helps explain how the network supports both internal and external cognition.

A new study led by Drs. Raymond Chan and WANG Yi from the Institute of Psychology reveals differential impacts of audio-visual information on empathy accuracy in people with schizophrenia and high social anhedonia.

A collaborative research team led by Prof. JIANG Yi from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. ZHU Lusha from Peking University has proposed a novel multi-level neurocognitive framework to explain how the brain processes social referential signals.

A research team from the Shenyang Institute of Automation has developed an artificial intelligence–based model, O-TabPFN, that significantly improves the precision and consistency of robotic grinding for cast turbine blades—critical core components widely used in aerospace, energy, and gas turbine systems.

A research team from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered direct observational evidence for the quasiperiodic magnetic reconnection driving mechanism of coronal jets. The team utilized high spatiotemporal resolution observations from both space-based (SDO) and ground-based (NVST) telescopes.

A research team led by ZHANG Hong from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered how mechanosensitive ion channels trigger the selective breakdown of damaged ER fragments via calcium signaling.

A team led by Prof. HAO Ning from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with the collaborators, identified two distinct types of unusual low-energy quasiparticle states in the kagome superconductor CsV₃Sb₅ using single-atom impurities as local "quantum probes" combined with scanning tunnelling spectroscopy.

A research team led by Prof. YIN Huajie from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a high-performance chlor-alkali electrode catalyst which has outstanding activity and long-term stability.

Prof. ZHANG Na's team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, and the collaborators from Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, by combining [¹⁸F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) and MR-VWI, built an integrated PET/MRI model to identify high-risk carotid plaques.

A research team led by MENG Qingbo from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the roles of alkali metals in flexible Cu₂ZnSn(S,Se)₄ (CZTSSe) solar cells, and clarified the distinct effects of sodium (Na) and lithium (Li) during crystallization by combining experimental characterization and theoretical analysis.

A research team from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a flexible liquid metal cryoprotectant composed of eutectic gallium-indium alloys mixed with polyvinylpyrrolidone to advance organ vitrification preservation.

A new study led by researchers from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has broken the conventional view that slow-mode waves struggle to propagate into the corona. It shows that slow-mode waves excited and dissipated within the coronal hole environment also serve as an important mechanism for low coronal heating, thereby enriching the theoretical framework of coronal heating.
