A team led by Prof. DOU Xincun from the Xinjiang Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry (XTIPC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a one-step fluorescence turn-on sensing strategy for TATP detection based on an H₂O-driven cascade reaction.

In a new advance for next-generation microelectronics, researchers from the Institute of Metal Research, together with their collaborators, have broken “thickness limit” by engineering ultrathin films of BiFeO₃ that exhibit a piezoelectric response more than four times greater than that of conventional forms of the material.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have provided the first comprehensive global assessment of bryophyte diversity, extinction risk, and conservation gaps. They synthesized global occurrence data, elevational records, IUCN Red List assessments, and published case studies to examine the increasing threats to this functionally critical plant group posed by human activities.

A research team from the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with international collaborators, have identified a nonmonotonic relationship between continuum lag and luminosity in changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with other institutions, has developed a detailed global framework to assess the potential for solar photovoltaic deployment.

Rresearchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences undertook a global meta-analysis. They synthesized data from paired observations of plant mixtures and corresponding monocultures to assess how plant diversity affects soil nitrogen pools and nitrogen transformations over the long-term.

Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Beijing Normal University and Fujian Normal University, have developed a 10-meter resolution dataset mapping the vertical structure of forests in Nanping City, Fujian Province, China.

A research team from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences assembled a high-quality, haplotype-resolved, telomere-to-telomere genome of the jade vine. By integrating multi-omics datasets including transcriptomics and metabolomics, the team systematically decoded the formation of this rare floral color from genomic, metabolic, and transcriptional regulatory angles.

A research team has developed a novel electron tomography method that can quantitatively reveal the three-dimensional (3D) morphology and crystallographic features of grain boundaries in nanostructured metals, providing a powerful tool for understanding the stability and performance of these advanced materials.

A team led by Prof. SUN Jian and Prof. YU Jiafeng from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a novel design strategy that spatially decouples active sites through a strong metal-support interaction (SMSI)-driven overlayer structure, enabling efficient methanol synthesis from CO₂.

A study led by Prof. YANG Yuanhe from the Institute of Botany revealed that nitrogen fixation by microbes associated with mosses is a critical factor in sustaining plant growth in permafrost ecosystems under warming conditions, and provided the first direct evidence that the moss-associated biological nitrogen fixation responds much more sensitively to warming than soil nitrogen transformations.

An international research team led by the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved advances in ion beam manipulation technology, overcoming a long-standing obstacle in the development of a self-adaptive, self-powered ion beam guide.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Wei from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences predicted quantitatively the potential dynamic changes of the entire Arctic flora from now until 2100 under four greenhouse gas emission scenarios based on an ensemble modelling approach.

A team led by researchers from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel therapeutic strategy termed synthetic peptide-programmed lysosome-targeting chimeras (SPYTAC).

A research team led by Prof. WU Chenxi from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has uncovered new insights into how life-stage-dependent processes within the macroalgal phycosphere control epiphytic community assembly and resistome dissemination in an oligotrophic lake. Their results highlight that Cladophora blooms function not only as modifiers of littoral biogeochemistry but also as important sources and amplifiers of antibiotic resistance risk.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed NPP-GPT, an artificial intelligence framework that uses pre-trained large language models to accurately forecast NPP operating parameters over the long term.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics, and the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science have reported new insights into how the protein Spef1 regulates ciliary beating, providing potential directions for ciliary disease research.

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Beijing Normal University, Shenzhen Technology University, and Tianjin University, have developed a novel two-dimensional coincidence time-of-flight mass spectrometry method for the precise measurement of isotopic abundance.
