A team led by Prof. ZHOU Yongjin from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics demonstrated that combining lifespan engineering strategies with metabolic pathway optimization in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> enables highly efficient sclareol biosynthesis, marking an advance in improving microbial production through lifespan engineering.
Micro-quasars are stellar-mass black holes within the Milky Way. The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has, for the first time, revealed that these objects are a class of ultra-high-energy gamma-ray sources in our galaxy. The findings also advance our understanding of the extreme physical processes that occur in black hole systems.
A new study by Chinese researchers and their German counterparts has shed light on the link between groundwater balance and plant water-use efficiency in desert ecosystems, offering valuable insights for ecological restoration and combating desertification.
What mechanism accelerates cosmic rays to the 3 peta-electron-volt (PeV) range — over 1,000 times the energy of the world's most powerful man-made particle accelerators — causing a sharp decline in the number of higher-energy cosmic rays and forming a knee-like shape in their energy spectrum? Using data from China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), a team of Chinese and international scientists has identified powerful jets from black holes as the "engines" driving high-energy particles in the Milky Way. This marks a milestone in observationally connecting the "knee" structure to a specific type of astrophysical source since its discovery 70 years ago.
The latest samples from 26 scientific experiments conducted aboard China's space station, totaling approximately 46.67 kilograms, were brought back to Earth on Friday, according to the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization (CSU) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Marking the ninth transfer of materials from the orbiting laboratory, the Shenzhou-21 return capsule brought back samples from experiments in space life sciences, materials science and combustion research.
