A research team led by Prof. GUO Bin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a novel power conversion strategy which utilizes divertor heat as a preheating source in the feedwater system, significantly improving the thermal-to-electric efficiency of fusion power plants.

A collaborative research team led by Prof. LIU Yuefeng from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a gas-induced structure evolution strategy. This innovation has resulted in a "self-transforming" catalyst that redefines the process of carbon dioxide hydrogenation.

A research team from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel catalyst that enables efficient carbon dioxide hydrogenation to formate.

A study led by Dr. WANG Yuan’s group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that LTR retrotransposon are repurposed by the plant’s RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway to serve as a precise regulatory "dial" for immune gene expression.

In response to the challenges posed by limited communication resources and highly dynamic environmental conditions in industrial scenarios, Prof. LIANG Wei and his research team at the Shenyang Institute of Automation have proposed a Joint Estimation-Control-Scheduling (JECS) method based on deep reinforcement learning.

A team led by Prof. LIU Zhiyong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, has revealed a novel octameric resistosome formed by an activated wheat CC_G10-NLR immune receptor, which induces Ca²⁺ influx and immune responses through a unique channel architecture.

A research team led by Prof. DONG Zhichao from the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry has developed a new one-step fabrication strategy—termed MARS (Molecularly Assembled Robust Superhydrophobic Shell)—for producing superhydrophobic fabrics with stable mechanical performance under harsh conditions.

A new letter highlights that safeguarding biodiversity in the Third Pole—the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and surrounding mountain systems—will depend not only on scientific research and policy implementation, but on greater recognition and support for local communities and their biocultural practices.

A study led by Dr. WANG Xin from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences quantified the foliar nitrogen uptake capacity of dominant canopy trees in natural tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems, and revealed distinct regulatory mechanisms across leaf ages.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences examined how plants regulate phytoremediation efficiency through growth-defense trade-offs in environments contaminated by heavy metals.

A study led by Prof. MA Yingfei from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered a vast repertoire of Acrs from human gut phages. It identified 651 potential Acrs targeting type II CRISPR systems, which dominate the gut bacterial landscape, and discovered a novel family of structurally convergent, dual-function Acrs named GutAcr_aca.

A team of researchers from the Shenyang Institute of Automation has developed a new framework that significantly improves the precision control of wireless cloud robotic systems. By combining reconfigurable intelligent surface technology with a multi-agent transfer reinforcement learning algorithm, the researchers achieved coordinated optimization of robotic control and wireless communication, addressing a longstanding bottleneck in the field.

A research team led by KONG Lingtao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a series of high-performance membranes capable of efficiently degrading emerging contaminants such as antibiotics, and demonstrated their applications in pharmaceutical wastewater treatment.

A research team led by scientists from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with partners, has developed a novel high-spatial-resolution mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) instrument using a single-mode fiber image relay. The system delivers a spatial resolution of 800 nm, allowing researchers to resolve lipid metabolism heterogeneity during drug-induced cell apoptosis at the single-cell level.
