A collaborative project between China and Tanzania is making significant strides in improving the water and air quality in the near-lake areas of Lake Victoria, a vital freshwater resource facing environmental challenges. Recently, a project team led Dr. XIONG Chuanhe from Nanjing Institute of Geography & Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a 10-day on-site investigation in the Mwanza Lake Bay area of Lake Victoria.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a key gene, <i>JcSPL9</i>, which can significantly increase both seed yield and oil content in <i>Jatropha</i>.
A research team led by PAN Jianwei and LU Chaoyang from the University of Science and Technology of China has demonstrated a high-speed atom rearrangement technique that significantly advances neutral-atom quantum computation.
A research team led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has confirmed that lunar observations provide a unique solution to accurately capturing Earth's outgoing radiation—an essential step in understanding the planet's radiation budget, which is closely tied to global climate and environmental changes.
Led by the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the team—which included researchers from China, Australia, Spain, and the United States—conducted multidisciplinary archaeological investigations at the Xigou site in the Danjiangkou Reservoir region of central China. Their work yielded evidence of sophisticated stone tool technologies dating from 160,000 to 72,000 years ago, revealing that hominins in the region were far more innovative and adaptable than previously thought.
The Mohe Station of the China Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station is China's northernmost satellite data receiving station. Normally the facility has only one staff member on duty, but as the Spring Festival approaches, four of its staff members have gathered in severe cold weather to conduct thorough winter inspections and maintenance.
A team of Chinese scientists has created the world's first quantum sensor network designed to detect dark matter, connecting laboratories over 300 kilometers apart in the eastern Chinese cities of Hefei and Hangzhou. Published in Nature on Thursday, the research achieved unprecedented sensitivity in searching for signals of axions -- a candidate of hypothetical particles that might comprise the universe's "missing mass."
Hon. Emelia Arthur, Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development of Ghana, led a high-level delegation to Hubei Province and Wuhan in late January. Over three days, the delegation visited research institutions, universities, government agencies, and frontline industries, seeking practical solutions to address Ghana's growing fish supply shortage. At the Institute of Hydrobiology, CAS, Minister Arthur accepted an exclusive interview with CICC's Changjiang Dialogue.
Scientists have developed a new type of crystal, marking a significant advance in the field of vacuum ultraviolet laser light. After sustained research into the fundamental theories and core technologies of vacuum ultraviolet nonlinear optical materials, a team of researchers from the institute successfully developed an ammonium fluorooxoborate (ABF) crystal. Their findings were published in the journal Nature on Thursday.
