Researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology have found evidence to support the hypothesis that dinosaurs were not very diverse before their extinction and had declined overall during the last part of the Cretaceous.
Evolutionary chromosomal changes may take a million years in nature, but researchers are now reporting a novel technique enabling programmable chromosome fusion that has successfully produced mice with genetic changes that occur on a million-year evolutionary scale in the laboratory.
The hybrid magnet at the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility in Hefei, China set a world record for the highest steady magnetic field by a working magnet when it produced a steady field of 45.22 tesla on Aug. 12. It broke the previous world record of 45 tesla set in 1999.
Emma Lavaut and her colleagues found that a species of red seaweed uses the isopod crustacean <em>Idotea balthica</em> 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.
