A joint research team from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory and Sun Yat-sen University has improved the quality of long-term light curves of active galactic nuclei. By stacking multi-epoch imaging data from the Zwicky Transient Facility, the researchers effectively enhanced the signal-to-noise ratio of the observational data, enabling high-quality reconstruction of AGN light curves that were previously inaccessible due to their intrinsic faintness.

A joint research team from the Institute of Metal Research and Zhengzhou University has achieved power conversion efficiency surpassing 20% in flexible modules capable of withstanding a range of external stresses. The study highlights the use of single-walled carbon nanotubes as window electrodes for scalable ​flexible perovskite solar modules.

A new study led by Dr. YANG Weibing from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a hidden “molecular gatekeeper” that controls the stiffness of these walls, directly guiding the fate of plant stem cells.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators investigated dynamic interactions between preferential flow and matrix flow in rubber-associated forest systems within tropical regions, and explored their impacts on soil water storage and cycling.

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica and Shanghai Jiao Tong University obtained four inactive structures of EP2 and EP4 receptors bound to selective and dual antagonists, and revealed the selectivity and efficacy of EP2 and EP4 antagonists, as well as the “dual-warhead” binding mode of the dual antagonist TG6-129 with both EP2 and EP4.

A team of scientists from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciencesrecently conducted a 50-year simulation of the Martian dust cycle using the Global Open Planetary Atmospheric Model for Mars (GoMars). This new modelcanpredict key characteristics of the Martian dust cycle and global-scale dust storms.

A research team from the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistryof the Chinese Academy of Scienceshas madeprogress in the field of ultra-thin temperature sensors. The team adopted a "water-soluble sacrificial layer-assisted transfer" strategy, which resolves the process compatibility issue between high-performance sensitive materials and flexible substrates.

A team led by Prof. HE Zhitao from Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a palladium/amine synergistic catalysis strategy for the asymmetric remote substitution of alkynes, and revealed a complex redox change at palladium metal center and the formation of conjugated diene intermediate.

A research team led by Prof. XU Zhiheng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified Tapt1, together with its partner Suco, as important genes for brain development, which play a vital role in maintaining the balance between protein synthesis and degradation.

Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research have developed a new class of high-performance materials for micro-electromechanical system switch chips, achieving an ultra-long fatigue life critical for 5G/6G communications, aerospace, industrial control and medical applications.

Researchers from WANG Guodong‘s lab at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered the long-elusive biosynthetic pathway of glycitein, a key soybean isoflavonoid, whoes production determines the plant’s resistance to Phytophthora sojae.

A team of researchers led by Prof. DU Zhixue from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered that substantial amounts of water could have been efficiently "locked away" deep within the mantle as it crystallized from a molten state.

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Yaning from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography reported new insights into gas-regulated wound signaling in plants. By examining recent advances in the field, the researchers showed that changes in the diffusion dynamics of ethylene and oxygen within plant tissues provide an efficient and rapid means of sensing breaches in surface defenses.
