A research team led by Prof. YAN Hong from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Australian scholars, reconstructed Australian summer monsoon (AuSM) variability over the past 13.5 ka using a 5.13-m-long sediment core from Bromfield Swamp in the tropical monsoon region of northern Australia.

A new study led by Prof. WANG Faming from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has shed light on the crucial role of soil microbes in carbon sequestration during mangrove restoration, offering a new microbial-driven perspective for enhancing "blue carbon" sinks.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, in collaboration with researchers from the Institute of Semiconductors, revealed anomalous oscillatory magnetoresistance in an antiferromagnetic kagome semimetal heterostructure and directly identified its corresponding topological magnetic structures.

A research team from the Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators, used complementary molecular dynamics simulations, combining ab initio and deep-learning potential methods. Their findings reveal that under deep lower mantle and core–mantle boundary (CMB) conditions, water and the key hydrous mineral δ-AlOOH enter a superionic state—which combines features of a solid crystal lattice with liquid-like mobile ions—thereby fundamentally altering their stability and dehydration behavior.

A research team led by Prof. PAN Shilie at the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed the fluorooxoborate crystal NH4B4O6F (ABF)—offering aneffective solution to the practical challenges of VUV NLO materials.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Hongzhi and Prof. HONG Bo from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. WANG Wei from the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China, discovered a crucial mechanism that underlies chemotherapy resistance and metastasis in small cell lung cancer.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Lijuan from the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the collaborators from Tongji University, proposed a peptide-stabilized lactate oxidase and catalase system, which can effectively deliver oxygen to cells and tissues in nerve injury treatment.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Institute for Life Sciences, uncovered the precise mechanism by which cytotoxic lymphocyte-derived GZMA induces target cell pyroptosis.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology (IAE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new sensor that can rapidly monitor soil nitrate nitrogen, a key nutrient for crop growth.

Led by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the team—which included researchers from China, Australia, Spain, and the United States—conducted multidisciplinary archaeological investigations at the Xigou site in the Danjiangkou Reservoir region of central China. Their work yielded evidence of sophisticated stone tool technologies dating from 160,000 to 72,000 years ago, revealing that hominins in the region were far more innovative and adaptable than previously thought.

Prof. LU Zhonghua’s team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and collaborators from Peking University First Hospital developed the AAV with translocation LINKage (AAVLINK), which harnesses Cre/lox-mediated intermolecular DNA recombination to enable in vivo reassembly of large genes.

Dr. TIAN Ye's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences summarized mitochondrial stress responses from the organelle level to the systemic organismal network, providing deep insights into the core role of mito-nuclear communication in regulating physiology and aging.

A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new method combining deep learning with physical radiative transfer modeling to improve the retrieval of atmospheric aerosol properties from complex satellite observations, supporting high-resolution, near-real-time monitoring of haze and dust events.

A research team from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Liverpool, has developed an adaptive jerk control (AJC) method based on a biased sliding surface (BSS) design.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a key gene, JcSPL9, which can significantly increase both seed yield and oil content in Jatropha.

Drawing on recent breakthroughs enabled by cryo-electron microscopy and in situ structural analyses, a research group led by Prof. SUN Fei from the Institute of Biophysics highlighted how these discoveries provide a new conceptual framework for understanding the mechanisms of sperm motility, elucidating the molecular basis of related diseases, and exploring potential intervention strategies.

A research team from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used online observation techniques to characterize the δ18Ov, δ2Hv and d-excessᵥ isotopic compositions of water vapor produced by the combustion of coal, natural gas and liquefied gas, as well as water vapor emitted from vehicle exhaust.

A research team led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has confirmed that lunar observations provide a unique solution to accurately capturing Earth's outgoing radiation—an essential step in understanding the planet's radiation budget, which is closely tied to global climate and environmental changes.
