A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Chengcai from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the comprehensively characterized function of DevH and its interesting interplay with NtcA, which indicates the involvement of DevH in cell morphogenesis.

A research team from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an assessment and monitoring framework. The tool standardizes and integrates multiple "essential ocean variables" to pinpoint when and where the ocean is clearly affected by compound state change amid a warming climate.

Prof. HAN Buxing and LIN Longfei’s group from the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and collaborators from Beijing Normal University and Peking University, developed a kinetic decoupling-recoupling (KDRC) strategy that enables the conversion of polyethylene (PE) to ethylene and propylene with a yield of 79%.

In a new study, Prof. ZENG Fanjiang's team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified the key pathway driving the soil carbon sinks in arid regions.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that shared evolutionary history and functional traits are key drivers of community assembly in tropical ecosystems, and they developed a framework to support conservation planning in the face of habitat loss and climate change.

A latest cosmological simulation study by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory has systematically revealed, for the first time, how the interaction between dark matter and dark energy significantly influences the rotation and shape alignment of dark matter halos in the universe.

In a collaborative effort, researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China Agricultural University have revealed the antibacterial mechanism by which iron-sulfur nanozymes (nFeS) act on gut microbial metabolism to catalyze the production of indole derivatives, thereby synergistically combating intestinal infections in mice and pigs.

A research team led by Prof. BI Haibo from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed that accelerated warming in the North Pacific has contributed to a significant slowdown in Arctic summer sea ice loss since 2007.

A research team led by Prof. QI Shengwen from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted fixed-funnel and rotating-drum experiments to measure the angle of repose, a key parameter reflecting the flowability of granular materials. The results showed that Chang'e-6 soil has a significantly higher angle of repose than near-side samples, exhibiting flow behavior characteristic of cohesive soils.

Using high-precision astrometry from the Gaia satellite and applying uniform, stringent selection criteria, researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory have identified 400 candidate binary open clusters in the Milky Way; 268 of these were newly reported. The findings provide a unified, structured scheme for identifying and classifying galactic binary clusters.

Researchers led by Prof. ZHAO Yan from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported high-resolution cryo-EM structures of GlyT2 in three major conformational states. These structures illuminate the transporter's molecular mechanisms and provide critical insights into how analgesic compounds are recognized.

A new study led by the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed that lake heatwaves are generally more intense, longer-lasting, and more frequent than their atmospheric counterparts.

A new study led by the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a unique trait in the aquatic plant Ottelia alismoides that it can simultaneously employ three distinct CO₂-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). This finding provides new insights into how these pathways, long considered incompatible within the same plant tissue, can operate concurrently.

Researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have presented a two-century-long reconstruction of summer relative humidity for the southern China's Central Water Tower (CCWT). The reconstruction relies on high-resolution tree-ring δ18O records.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Henan University have introduced a new single-position peptide clustering-based strategy for peptidomics analysis.

A new study by Prof. ZHANG Xiaoming from the Kunming Institute of Zoology has uncovered a direct genetic link between ancient practitioners of the Hanging Coffin burial tradition and the modern Bo people in Southwest China. The findings offer unprecedented insight into the deep ancestral origins and migratory history associated with this unique mortuary practice.

A team led by Prof. CHEN Yan from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered that blocking glycogen synthase 1 increases uridine diphosphate glucose which directly binds to JAK2 protein, inhibiting IL-6 induced JAK2-STAT3 signaling post-burn injury, which suppresses thermogenesis in white adipose tissue and ameliorates the body's hypermetabolic state.

Researchers from the Institute of Physics (IOP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a unified method to predict critical "tipping points" in magnetic systems.
