Emma Lavaut and her colleagues found that a species of red seaweed uses the isopod crustacean Idotea balthica to transfer its male gametes for fertilization. Researchers recently concluded that the significantly expands the phylogenetic and temporal scope of animal-mediated male gamete movement, bringing the concept of "pollination" from plants to algae.
Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with scientists around the globe, have made great efforts to the infinity and beyond.
The Insight-HXMT team has recently discovered a cyclotron absorption line with an energy of 146 keV in the neutron star X-ray binary Swift J0243.6+6124, corresponding to a surface magnetic field of more than 1.6 billion Tesla.
Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have identified three species of Vespa hornets that help move most Aquilaria sinensis seeds to more suitable places before they lose viability by eating the plant's fruit.
A team of scientists led by LIN Hongxuan from a genetic module in rice links heat signals from Centre for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences found that the cell's plasma membrane to its internal chloroplasts to protect them from heat-stress damage and increase grain yield under heat stress.
A research group led by Prof. ZHENG Jian from the Institute of Chemistry developed a new interlayer bonding cleavage strategy to prepare a two-dimensional monolayer polymeric fullerene. They prepared magnesium intercalated C60 bulk crystals as the precursor to the exfoliation reaction.
