Led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a new international study has provided farmers and policymakers with a roadmap to grow maize—one of the world's most vital crops—in a way that balances high productivity with planetary health.
Researchers from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators discovered and analyzed a large pipe swarm—a cluster of cylindrical geological structures—with remnants of hydrogen hydrothermal activity on the east Caroline Plate, west of the Mussau Trench.
A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Binbin from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a superhydrophobic composite coating with mechanical stability and long-term anti-corrosion performance by utilizing recycled tire rubber particles as armored skeleton structure.
A research team led by Prof. HUANG Diying from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified three species of Jurassic orthopterans—an insect group that includes grasshoppers, crickets and katydids—with forewing patterns nearly identical to the leaves of bennettitales, an extinct, cycad-like seed plant.
Led by Prof. JIN Zhijun, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Prof. ZHAO Mingyu from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of CAS, an international research team has developed a global biogeochemical inversion model. This innovative model explicitly links methane cycling across three critical reservoirs: sediments, the ocean, and the atmosphere.
A research team co-led by Prof. GUO Shun and Prof. LIU Jingbo from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has presented direct geological proof that the infiltration of silicic fluids rich in ferrous chloride into dolomitic marble triggers decarbonation reactions—generating hydrogen gas and magnetite, which in turn act as catalysts for abiotic organic synthesis.
