A new study led by Prof. LI Xiaosong from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has evaluated land productivity dynamics (LPD) across the African Great Green Wall (GGW) between 2013 and 2022.

A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a field-theoretic framework to address this issue. Their findings reveal that competitive systems universally converge to three distinct evolutionary regimes: Stable Equilibrium, Periodic Oscillations, and Progressive Dominance and Elimination.

The High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), constructed by the Institute of Modern Physics and one of China's major scientific and technological infrastructure projects, successfully completed commissioning with beam on October 28, marking a crucial milestone in its construction.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Li from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has found that ecosystems with more complete ecological succession and longer existence exhibit strong adaptability to drought.

A research team led by Prof. HU Li from the Institute of Psychology has proposed a new theoretical framework called the "Human–AI Empathy Loop," highlighting empathy as a key driver for developing emotionally intelligent and socially adaptive artificial agents.

A research team led by Prof. HOU Xingliang from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify a rare allele that controls seed protein content and was lost during soybean domestication.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the intraspecific genome size variation and its role in ecological adaptation in the hexaploid plant Rorippa indica. The findings showed that plants can adapt to tropical environments by significantly enlarging their genomes.

A new study led by Prof. CHEN Hongsong from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture has revealed that calcium-rich bedrock can reshape the latitudinal diversity gradient within karst forests. These findings provide empirical evidence that geodiversity can modulate or even overturn the traditional LDG by altering soil formation and nutrient availability.

A research team from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered and formally named a new species of Carlephyton (Araceae) in Daraina, northern Madagascar.

A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has made progress in studying the Shibantan Biota in Yichang, Hubei Province, uncovering the oldest known complex three-dimensional burrow systems to date. Preserved in approximately 550-million-year-old strata, these trace fossils show that complex animal behaviors were modifying the seafloor environment nearly 10 million years earlier than previously thought.

A new review has revealed the potential of desert ecosystems in the global fight against climate change. The review, led by Prof. ZENG Fanjiang from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, synthesizes evidence showing that deserts can function as vital carbon sinks through innovative management and technology.

A team of Chinese scientists has uncovered a hidden 3D structure in rice DNA that allows the crop to grow more grain while using less nitrogen fertilizer. The study, led​ by Prof. FU Xiangdong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, could guide the next "green revolution" toward higher yields and more sustainable farming.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology have conducted an ecosystem-wide assessment of enhanced rock weathering in forest plantations. Led by Dr. KANG Ronghua, they revealed how the application of finely ground silicate minerals influences soil carbon fluxes and tree growth in a larch plantation in northeastern China.

A collaborative research team from the Institute of Biophysics and Beijing Normal University has identified the molecular components and regulatory mechanisms that link the A- and B-tubules within doublet microtubules. They also revealed how axonemal doublet microtubules are stably connected in cilia and flagella.

Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted analyses in Lake Erhai as a case study of non-native fish invasion, elucidated temporal relationships between lake fish multidimensional diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality, and revealed the key role of non-native fishes.

A research team from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a new integrated poly(oxime-urethane) coating tailored for full-ocean-depth use. The material delivers antifouling and anticorrosion performance for marine engineering applications.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Guodong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has developed a highly sensitive liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) detection method capable of distinguishing between the two chiral forms of α-bitter acids.

In a new study developed by the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, researchers successfully isolated two indigenous mineralizing bacterial strains, Bacillus pasteurii and Bacillus cereus, from typical contaminated soils in northern Guangdong.
