Dr. GE Jixing from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his collaborators have made new progress in uncovering the chemical behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in molecular clouds at different evolutionary stages.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Kelin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has uncovered how multitrophic organisms adapt to phosphorus (P) limitation in subtropical ecosystems. Their findings shed light on strategies to alleviate P limitation in fragile subtropical ecosystems.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how soil microbial communities enhance soil fertility through microscale soil aggregates during tropical forest restoration.

Researchers from Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Fudan University developed a label-free intraoperative navigation system based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering, which enables real-time, in situ grading of prostate tumor malignancy by simultaneously detecting tissue acidity and prostate-specific antigen activity.

A research team led by YAO Hongming and ZHU Ming from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the spatiotemporal distribution of carbon "source-sink" patterns and their biogeochemical driving mechanisms in the Greater Bay Area (Pearl River Estuary).

A team led by WU Beili from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, determined the structures of GPR1 bound to chemerin and β-arrestin 1 or β-arrestin 2, as well as the structure of GPR1–β-arrestin 1 complex in the absence of chemerin. They elucidated a picture of arrestin-mediated modulation of GPR1, deepening our understanding of non-canonical GPCR signaling.

The successful completion of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) and the release of its first physics results were announced by the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) at a press conference held in Jiangmen City on Nov. 19.

​Dr. MA Yingxiu from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory, together with collaborators, has uncovered clear evidence that two large-scale filamentary structures are colliding and merging, a process that is effectively triggering the formation of massive stars.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have uncovered how soil food webs promote the transformation and storage of photosynthetic carbon in farmlands, offering new insights into farmland carbon sequestration.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have revealed the mechanism behind the dieback of natural Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) forests on sandy land.

A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Peng from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how the human brain resolves perceptual conflicts and generates conscious perception through local inhibition in the sensory cortex and feedback integration from the parietal cortex.

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported new experimental results that advances our understanding of reaction dynamics and exotic nuclear structures of weakly bound nuclei.

A research team led by Prof. SHAN Tifeng from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new method for breeding triploid cultivars in kelp species.

Climate change is accelerating the reorganization of river-lake systems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, reshaping hydrological and ecological processes in the "Asian Water Tower". A new study led by Prof. LU Shanlong from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals the Zonag-Yanhu drainage basin, once isolated, has undergone rapid transformation since 2019, when it connected to the headwaters of the Yangtze River.

A research team led by Prof. NIE Sheng from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new bathymetric mapping framework. This framework integrates the indirect inversion of land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) LiDAR data with multi-source remote sensing observations. By combining wave-based indirect bathymetry, multi-source feature fusion, and a temporal sample-transfer strategy, it achieves high-accuracy, wide-coverage mapping in optically complex shallow waters.

A research team from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an "All Flow Directions" (AFD) scheme. This innovation allows weather models to calculate the shape and steepness of mountain terrain continuously for any wind direction, eliminating the "jump" of traditional models and providing a far more realistic simulation of how wind interacts with the ground.

A research team led by Prof. HU Weijin from the Institute of Metal Research has developed a one-second fabrication method for wafer-scale energy storage capacitors that achieves astonishing heating and cooling rates of up to 1,000 °C per second.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Chengcai from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that chloroplast budding mediates β-carotene transport for early stage astaxanthin hyperaccumulation in Haematococcus pluvialis.
