A new study led by researchers from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with partners, has yielded new statistical evidence on the behavior of the changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs).

A new study led by researchers at the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has found that the coexistence of heavy metals and antibiotics in aquatic environments poses a serious threat to critical nitrogen transformation processes and the overall multifunctionality of constructed wetlands (CWs).

A research team from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has provided new evidence showing that winter freeze-thaw cycles and local neighborhood crowding independently limit tree growth in temperate forests.

A research team led by Prof. YU Leqian from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, has developed a 3D uterine embryo implantation simulation chip, marking the first time the full process of human embryo implantation has been replicated in a laboratory setting.

A research team has developed CESM-SCION, a new-generation high-resolution climate-biogeochemistry coupled model. This model advances the spatiotemporal resolution of long-term Earth system simulations to a new level and identifies marine regression as a key driver of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age onset.

Prof. ZHOU Xukai and his colleagues from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences introduced a conformational isomer strategy to precisely tune the nitrogen atom positions, enhancing the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance of covalent organic frameworks (COFs)​.

An international research team co-led by Prof. MENG Lingsen of the University of California, Los Angeles, and Prof. ZHANG Yunjun of the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has reconstructed the earthquake's rupture process and mapped its damage in unprecedented detail using satellite remote sensing combined with seismic observations.

A research team led by Associate Professor WANG Yaqiong from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has for the first time documented two marine ostracod fossil species—Bicornucythere bisanensis s.l. and Pistocythereis bradyformis—in Pleistocene lacustrine deposits of the Qaidam Basin.

Researchers led by Dr. Raymond Chan from the Institute of Psychology have examined patients with co-morbidity of schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, a condition known as "schizo-obsession", and showed that there were specific superimposed neural effects of combined schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive symptoms at both white matter connectivity and resting-state functional connectivity, compared to patients with either schizophrenia or obsessive-compulsive disorders, as well as healthy controls.

A collaborative research team led by scientists from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, and Peking University has developed an air quality model named the Emission and Atmospheric Processes Integrated and Coupled Community Model (EPICC), which demonstrates enhanced accuracy in simulating ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5, particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less).

Researchers from the Kunming Institute of Zoology have demonstrated that the Hide-in-Bird Pond model, a community-based, grassroots avitourism initiative in which local communities establish artificial ponds and feeding stations to attract avian species for non-invasive observation and photography, has proliferated rapidly across China.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, explored the impact of mountain building and climate cooling over 30 million years across five major mountain systems in the Northern Hemisphere and revealed that these processes are key drivers of the rich plant diversity found in the Earth's alpine biome.

A research team led by Dr. LI Lu from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory proposed a new framework for physically validating open clusters based on photometric Bayesian evidence.

A research team led by Prof. Abudukeremu Kadier and Prof. MA Pengcheng from the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a novel nickel-basalt tablet (Ni-BT) material and applied it as a cathode for carbon dioxide reduction in a Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell. The cell configuration is Ni-BT/SDC/YSZ/SDC/LSCF.

A new study has uncovered a critical "personality switch" in ecosystem responses to such extremes. Led by Prof. DAN Li from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team found that the impact of climate extremes extends beyond immediate stressors; it is fundamentally governed by "hydrological memory"—the pre-existing soil moisture conditions.

A new study led by Prof. YAN Zhengbing from the Institute of Botany demonstrates that leaf elementomes are closely linked to intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE), revealing key mechanisms underlying plant water-use strategies across diverse forest ecosystems.

A research team led by Prof. YE Jichun from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with partners, has proposed a synergistic technical solution enabling industrial tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) solar cells to simultaneously achieve high efficiency, low cost, and excellent bifacial power generation performance.

Researchers led by Prof. LIANG Yu from the Institute of Botany have uncovered the mechanisms underlying plant community assembly and biodiversity maintenance, revealing that plant-associated microorganisms play a pivotal yet underappreciated role in mediating species coexistence.
