Researchers from the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter have developed an interpenetration-transformation strategy that enables topochemical polymerization in diacetylene-based metal-organic frameworks, offering a new approach to enhancing their nonlinear optical properties.

A research group from the Institute of Hydrobiology has uncovered a previously unrecognized function of the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein under hypoxic conditions, revealing that MAVS can respond not only to viral infection but also to low-oxygen stress.

Studies led by Prof. LI Lujun at the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology have revealed four decades of soil erosion dynamics and future risks in Northeast China's black soil region, providing insights for targeted black soil protection.

Scientists from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, have clarified the dual regulatory role of niobium (Nb) in the microstructural stability of high-silicon austenitic stainless steel, offering a new strategy to suppress austenite decomposition during long-term service at elevated temperatures.

Researchers from the Institute of Chemistry have developed a nanopore-based, single-molecule platform capable of tracking multiple metabolites in the catecholamine biosynthetic pathway in real time. The platform distinguishes six key metabolites along the pathway from phenylalanine to adrenaline and monitors their dynamic changes during the enzymatic cascade by integrating two orthogonal molecular recognition mechanisms into a single MspA nanopore system.

Researchers from the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an electrocatalytic method for synthesizing foscarnet from carbon dioxide and phosphite at room temperature.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Qiuying from the Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology found that combining pre-harvest potassium fertilization with post-harvest cold storage markedly extends the shelf life of vegetable soybean.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science have developed a surface chemistry strategy to regulate interfacial anion transport in hard carbon anodes, improving the stability of sodium-ion batteries.

Joint observations from China's Einstein Probe satellite and LHAASO showed an extraordinarily long X-ray tail near a pulsar about 4,600 light-years from Earth—one that had never before been seen in full. The tail extends about 42 light-years and stretches in the same direction as ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray emission detected by LHAASO, with the two showing a close spatial match.

A joint team led by Prof. YAN Liangliang from the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Vivian Wing‑Wah YAM from the University of Hong Kong revealed solvent‑ and temperature‑driven reversible isomerization between two cubic octanuclear copper(I) cluster isomers, Cu8‑1 and Cu8‑2.

A team led by WANG Zhenyang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a thick cathode that helps zinc-ion hybrid capacitors maintain high capacity and fast charging performance.

A team led by Prof. WANG Guozhong and LI Wenchao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a silica nanoparticle-based foliar nitrogen fertilizer that helps nanoagrochemicals better stick to rice leaves and resist being washed away by rain.

Researchers from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified the lysine-specific methyltransferase SET domain-containing lysine methyltransferase 7 (SET7) as a critical negative regulator of antiviral innate immunity.

A research team led by Prof. FENG Wei from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with QX Biopharmaceuticals, has identified the molecular mechanism by which the humanized monoclonal antibody QX007N neutralizes interleukin-33 (IL-33). IL-33 is a key regulator of immune responses that is implicated in inflammatory and allergic diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

A comparative brain-imaging study led by Prof. LIU Ning's research team from the Institute of Biophysics has revealed how the neural architecture underlying self-processing has been conserved and reorganized during primate evolution.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that foliar application of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeNP) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) can significantly alleviate saline and alkaline stress in grain amaranth.

A team led by ZHAO Ziguang from the Hangzhou Institute of Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a multiphasic-gel-based ion transporter (GIT) system that uses ions to reproduce features of neural signal processing. This system combines low-energy operation with synapse-like learning and memory, and has been integrated with a rat nerve to demonstrate biologically driven signal processing.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified a new genus and species of flowering plant in the dry-hot valleys of the Red River basin in southwest China's Yunnan Province. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic analyses confirmed that the plant constitutes a new genus within the Marsdenieae tribe of the Apocynaceae family.
