Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, in collaboration with the Shenzhen International Graduate School of Tsinghua University and Suzhou University of Technology, have developed a natural electron donor–assisted healing and targeted surface reconstruction strategy that enables the direct regeneration of degraded lithium iron phosphate cathode materials from retired power batteries.
A research team led by Prof. XU Zhiheng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified Tapt1, together with its partner Suco, as important genes for brain development, which play a vital role in maintaining the balance between protein synthesis and degradation.
A new study led by Dr. YANG Weibing from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a hidden “molecular gatekeeper” that controls the stiffness of these walls, directly guiding the fate of plant stem cells.
A research team led by Prof. ZHU Min—member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and affiliated with the CAS Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology—has identified a new species of fossil lungfish from Early Devonian deposits in Zhaotong, Yunnan Province. The findings help fill a long-standing gap in scientists' understanding of lungfishes' early evolutionary history.
Zhang Ganlin, a researcher at the Institute of Soil Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, received the 2025 Glinka World Soil Prize on Friday at the World Soil Day celebration held at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome.
China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) achieved a new milestone in their space partnership on December 10, 2025, as Arab Satellite 813 was successfully launched into orbit aboard China's Lijian-1 Y11 rocket. The launch marks a historic step in space cooperation between the two countries. Lijian-1's developer, CAS Space – a commercial spaceflight company established by the Institute of Mechanics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – has now served a total of 32 satellite customers, including 26 domestic and six international clients.
In order to study the construction and renovation history of this complex, a team of Chinese researchers has successfully pinpointed the growth years of three ancient timbers in the Forbidden City and traced their geographical origins via oxygen isotope analysis. Xu Chenxi, a researcher at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has devoted himself to the study of paleoclimate change, specifically using stable isotopes in tree rings to investigate variations of the Asian monsoon over the past millennium.
A new study by Chinese scientists has advanced understanding of the mechanism and impact of permafrost collapse, particularly thaw slumps, on the alpine ecosystem of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, according to the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
