Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, in collaboration with the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics and Shandong University, found that nanosecond laser-driven proton FLASH radiotherapy can maintain its cancer-killing effect while reducing damage to normal cells.

Researchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology propose that cells convey instructions not only through molecular concentration, but also via dynamic patterns of signaling activity—such as pulse frequency and duration—which may offer a fundamental information-theoretic advantage over traditional concentration-based encoding.

A research team led by Dr. YANG Yongtai from Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a novel cross-lamellar lattice metamaterial with layerwise stiffness tuning for superior anti-fracture performance.

A team led by Prof. XU An from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 (AMB-1) extends healthy organismal lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans model, and revealed the mechanism underlying this longevity effect: ferroptosis inhibition.

A tree species that had been misidentified for decades has been recognized once again as a distinct species, with researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden confirming its first recorded occurrence in China.

Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new radiative transfer model named CARE-RTM that simulates the propagation of sunlight through the atmosphere and ocean with improved precision and computational speed.

Researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment have developed a new tracing approach using the cosmogenic isotopes beryllium-10 and beryllium-7 to demonstrate that stratospheric air contributes to the long-distance transport of atmospheric micro/nano-plastics over the southern Tibetan Plateau.

Researchers from Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter and Southern University of Science and Technology have developed a novel class of ultrasensitive pressure-responsive upconversion luminescent manometer based on Yb³⁺/Mn²⁺ co-doped Cs₂NaBiCl₆ double perovskites.

A team led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a programmable platform for on-demand design of synthetic plant immune receptors (SPIRs) that recognize proteins from diverse plant pathogens.

A study conducted by researchers from the Institute of Zoology and Capital Medical University, along with international collaborators, revealed that long-term oral vitamin C supplementation mitigates age-related deterioration of bone marrow at both the cellular and molecular levels.

A research team from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory found that after experiencing a glitch around MJD 55144, the modulation period of PSR B0919+06 and its spin-down rate abruptly shortened from about 575 days to about 437 days, and then gradually recovered to about 576 days several hundred days later.

Prof. WANG Wei from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with XUE Naihua, a double PhD student from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the University of Münster, collaborated with an international team to establish the longest continuous astronomical time scale spanning 635.1 ± 0.6 million years ago to 568.3 ± 6.8 million years ago.

A new study led by Prof. LI Ming from the Institute of Microbiology reveals that CRISPR-Cas plays a broader role. Rather than acting alone like a solitary sniper shooting at phages, it also serves as a central command center, directing a network of diverse innate immune systems.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and their collaborators revealed that the growth and functional traits of Parashorea chinensis, a keystone dipterocarp tree in Southeast Asian rainforests, are shaped by the interplay of drought, neighbourhood density, and beneficial soil fungi.

A new study led by Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed how dynamic Cu and Ti active sites in single-atom Cu-TiO₂ catalysts cooperate under light to reduce CO₂ to CO.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an intelligent algorithm to improve AOD retrieval from China's spaceborne polarimetric remote sensing data.

A research team led by WANG Chengyuan from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Richard H. Ebright from Rutgers University, defined a new structural state named long-range coupled complex (TTC-LC) for transcription-translation coupling.

Researchers from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have recently found that mixed-species afforestation can significantly enhance soil multifunctionality by reshaping microbial communities and increasing the molecular diversity of soil organic carbon.
