A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Jinglei from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that the trilayer nickelate La₄Ni₃O_10-δ exhibited a nearly isotropic upper critical field under high pressure, providing insights into the superconducting mechanism of nickel-based materials.

Inspied by microscopic sorting, researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology designed artificial nanochannels modeled after voltage-gated calcium channels in biological cells.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and the Kunming Institute of Botany have successfully assembled a high-quality genome of Aglaia odorata, commonly known as the Chinese perfume tree. Their findings reveal unexpected evolutionary mechanisms behind the plant’s exceptional terpene production, including a lineage-specific whole-genome triplication event. The study shows how transcriptional upregulation can compensate for gene loss, ultimately driving chemical diversity.

A research team led by Prof. LI Hong from Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health (SINH) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified consensus spatial niches across pan-cancer, and dissected their molecular characteristics and clinical implications.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Hongzhi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found a novel role of prostaglandin E synthase 3 (PTGES3) in liver cancer, and revealed how it drives both tumor growth and immune suppression.

A study led by DU Xuemin from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed multifunctional ferroelectric bioelectronic interfaces (FBI) that integrates self- rolling, interfacial adhesion, and bioelectrical signals, enabling long-term biosafe vagus nerve modulation.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the University of Science and Technology of China of CAS, and the University of Macau, developed a coordination-unsaturated copper single-atom nanozyme.

A new study led by researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden reports that a plant species lost for nearly nine decades has been rediscovered in southwestern China. This discovery provides new evidence of the species' survival and gives scientists the first complete record of its morphology.

A research team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) developed a multi-dimensional Copula-based framework to capture the nonlinear dependence among drought variables. Based on this framework, the researchers constructed a Standardized Compound Drought Severity (SCDS) index for the probabilistic quantification of compound drought intensity.

A study on the δ Scuti variable star KIC 8712760 conducted by the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory revealed a significant evolution of the star's pulsation amplitude over time and provided new observational evidence for understanding energy transfer, mode competition, and nonlinear pulsation mechanisms in low-amplitude δ Scuti variable stars.

A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that climate change and human activities are driving divergent salinity trends in salt lakes around the globe.

Prof. HE Zuhua's team from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, cloned the broad-spectrum BB resistance gene Xa48. They elucidated a new model for broad-spectrum, durable BB resistance involving an NLR immune receptor and its cognate effector, and revealed the molecular mechanism by which XA48 coordinates growth and immunity during crop domestication.

Prof. FU Zheng's team from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with international collaborators, found that plants can sustain transpiration at higher temperatures than photosynthesis under heat stress, revealing a thermal decoupling between carbon uptake and water loss in terrestrial ecosystems.

Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported that the transcription factor SlERF.F4 plays a pivotal role in modulating tomato defense against gray mold. They found that SlERF.F4 transcripts are present in mature green fruits and are significantly increased upon infection.

A collaborative research team led by scientists from the China National Center for Bioinformation, a research center affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with the CAS Institute of Zoology and Quzhou Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, has constructed a high-precision Human Immune Aging Clock (HIAC). The work systematically characterizes the multiscale dynamics of immunosenescence and identifies the transcription factor RUNX1 as a functional "brake" on T-cell senescence.

A research team led by Profs. ZHANG Tao and HUANG Yanqiang from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers from the Southern University of Science and Technology, explored oxygen spillover mechanisms at the microscopic level.

A recent review study led by Prof. GUO Yalong from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, summarized the key factors driving transposable element (TE) abundance enigma in Arabidopsis.

A research team led by Prof. LI Dejun from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) to drive the efficient humification of organic waste and block the transmission of biological hazards.
