A team led by Prof. ZHOU Yongjin from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, along with Prof. FEI Qiang from Xi'an Jiaotong University, developed a yeast cell factory to produce L-lactate from methanol as the sole carbon source, and evaluated the commercial potential and environmental impacts of this bioprocess.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xi'an Jiaotong University, and Sichuan University developed a "spin-engineering" strategy inspired by the multicopper active centers of natural laccases.

A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with international partners, has completed a high-resolution biomarker analysis of the Zal section in northwest Iran. This study uncovers new insights into ecological disruption and microbial community shifts across the Permian–Triassic (P–T) transition in the region.

A research team led by the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with multiple domestic and international research institutions, has made progress in investigating forest diversity patterns across China.

By cloning and characterizing the soybean gene GmSMS6, a research team led by Prof. HE Chaoying from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified it as a crucial modulator of soybean seed weight and quality.

A new study led by Prof. DUAN Weili from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate datasets for global soil moisture research.

A team led by Prof. CHEN Zhongwei and Assoc. Prof. MAO Zhiyu from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Assoc. Prof. ZHANG Zhaosheng from the Beijing Institute of Technology, developed a comprehensive real-world data–driven framework for EVs range prediction and intelligent management.

A new study led by the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with their collaborators, has demonstrated that high pressure can significantly enhance and precisely tune terahertz (THz) radiation from the two-dimensional semiconductor gallium telluride (GaTe).

A team led by Dr. DAI Lei from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators, developed a structure-based retrieval framework for the human gut microbiome, significantly improving the ability to predict "functional dark matter" such as phage proteins and host-derived bacterial isozymes.

A research team led by Dr. LI Lu and Prof. SHAO Zhengyi from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory has released a new, homogeneous catalog of physical parameters for 1,232 open clusters derived from Gaia DR3 data.

A research team from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University used single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to systematically investigate the structural dynamics of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis ileS T-box riboswitch.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a new species named Begonia chunxiuensis, which was collected in southwestern Guangxi, China.

A study led by Dr. DU Yi from the Institute of Psychology and Dr. TENG Xiangbin from the Chinese University of Hong Kong reveals an even subtler form of synchronization: our eyes blink in time with musical rhythms, entirely without conscious effort.

A new study published in Nature has shed light on the origins, population structures, and kinship systems of the people of Shimao—one of China's most significant late Neolithic settlements. Analyses of ancient DNA from individuals who inhabited the site reveal genetic links to southern settlements, while also providing evidence of male mass burials associated with human sacrifice.

A new study led by the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has detected quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) signals in an unusual gamma-ray burst (GRB) event.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of California, Riverside, have investigated how the loss of forest soil gaseous nitrogen is affected by climate warming, highlighting the critical role of these gases in regulating forest nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

A research team led by Huawei Zhang of Peking University and Jiayang Li of the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology/Yazhouwan National Laboratory has reported a novel genome editing strategy, the "Mortise-Tenon system", which achieves precise insertion and replacement efficiencies from 16.30% to 59.47% in rice. The strategy offers a new tool for plant genome editing and opening new avenues for crop genetic improvement.

A research team led by Profs. LI Ming and XIAO Xiao from the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has published the most comprehensive genetic study of bipolar disorder (BD) to date across East Asian and European populations.
