Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences in Shanghai identified LysM receptor kinases on plant cell membranes as key in detecting molecular signals from microbes, unraveling how plants distinguish between beneficial and harmful microbes in soil at the molecular level, a discovery that could significantly impact green agriculture and global food security.
Researchers from the Australian National University (ANU) and Chinese Academy of Sciences have made a breakthrough in solving the mystery of how the landscape of Mars evolved over billions of years by analyzing seismic activity on Mars, providing the first observational evidence supporting the endogenic theory of Mars dichotomy.
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), dubbed China's "artificial sun," maintained a steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for a remarkable 1,066 seconds on Monday, setting a new world record and marking a breakthrough in the quest for fusion power generation.
A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Prof. Zhang Zhenjie at Nankai University, proposed a novel imine-to-olefin transformation strategy to synthesize single-crystal sp² carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp²c-COFs), provides insight into the future development of organic semiconductor applications.
While the majority of Chinese botanists have directed their research efforts toward studying the rich flora of China, a select few have ventured into the unexplored realms of African flora. Wang Shengwei at the Wuhan Botanical Garden stands out as one of these explorers. He delves deep into the intricate tapestry of African plant diversity and distribution. Over the years, he has traveled to African countries many times.
Seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China, as an Arabic old saying goes. For Osama Abdalla Abdelshafy Mohamed, an Egyptian young scientist, his journey in China has not only been about knowledge-seeking but also life-rewarding, reflecting the flourishing talent exchanges between China and Egypt. He has been working at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG), the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for almost 10 years, and calls Xinjiang his second home.
In an office drawer of Chinese scientist Wei Yuansong lies a thank-you letter written in Sinhalese and signed off by an entire Sri Lankan village. The letter, having passed through many hands and franked in various locations, tells shared memories of a decade-long fight against a killer kidney disease that had plagued the locals for years due to a lack of safe drinking water.
