On June 11, researchers from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences unveiled the Land Cover Atlas of Five Central Asian Countries (1990–2020) at the second Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange. This atlas is the first bilingual (Chinese and Russian) professional land cover atlas for Central Asia, compiled by Chinese researchers.

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with other institutes, has uncovered an unexpectedly complex and dynamic filamentary network within a very-high-velocity cloud (VHVC) in the Milky Way.
A new satellite-based method developed by Chinese researchers improves the accuracy of carbon dioxide emission estimates from coal-fired power plants.
The world's first thousand-ton-scale ionic liquid-based regenerated cellulose fiber project has officially commenced operations in Henan Province, China. Developed by the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the project marks the first large-scale global production of regenerated cellulose fibers using ionic liquids.
A collaborative team from the Institute of Biophysics and the Institute of Physics has constructed a cutting-edge ultrafast cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-UEM) system to experimentally test whether time-modulated pulsed electron beams can mitigate radiation damage in soft matter samples-a longstanding controversy in the cryo-EM community.
Beneath the vast ocean waves lies an "invisible kingdom" crucial to marine life – the world of plankton. Often unseen yet fundamental, these diverse organisms form the bedrock of the ocean food chain, regulate the Earth's climate and can signal ecological imbalances. Using the Imaging Plankton Probe (IPP) system developed by the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, scientists can now capture these tiny life forms in their natural habitat with unprecedented clarity.
Yangtze sturgeon have managed successful natural spawning in China's Chishui River, a tributary of the country's longest waterway -- the Yangtze River, after the removal of over 300 small hydropower stations in the river basin, marking a breakthrough for the conservation of this critically endangered species.
High on a ridge 5,250 meters above sea level in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, a new eye onto the infant universe has blinked open. Scientists at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced Sunday that their AliCPT-1 telescope has captured its first crisp images of the moon and Jupiter at 150 GHz, a milestone that marks the formal opening of China's first hunt for primordial gravitational waves.
China's Chang'e-7 lunar mission, expected to launch around 2026, will be equipped with a seismograph to study moonquakes and probe the lunar interior, according to Wu Fuyuan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and a leading researcher with the Institute of Geology and Geophysics under CAS.
