A research team led by Prof. ZHU Jin and Prof. CHEN Jing at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, has synthesized a novel red sea star-inspired polyurethane, which can achieve rapid underwater self-healing.
Recently, a joint Chinese–American research team led by Dr. HU Han from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Dr Jingmai O'Connor from the Field Museum of Natural History (Chicago) announced the discovery and scientific description of the 14th known specimen of Archaeopteryx, known as the Chicago Archaeopteryx.
A research team led by Prof. WANG Mingtai at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a finely tuned method for growing titanium dioxide nanorod arrays with controllable spacing without changing individual rod size and demonstrated its application in high-performance solar cells.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a new plant species, <i>Eumachia brevipedunculata</i>, in the tropical rainforests of southern Yunnan, China, and northern Laos.
The Shenzhou-20 crew has carried out its first experiment on planarian regeneration aboard China's space station. Planarians, flatworms with an evolutionary history of over 520 million years, are one of the widely used experimental animal models in biological research. Researchers aim to explore how the space environment affects planarian regeneration and physiological behavior.
Chinese scientists have mapped the 1,400-year distribution history of the Yangtze finless porpoise through an innovative analysis of classic Chinese poetry. Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Hydrobiology examined historical poems to trace the species' habitat changes, providing new insights into long-term biodiversity patterns.
A new study led by researchers from China and the United States has unveiled a well-preserved specimen of Archaeopteryx -- widely accepted as the most primitive bird. The study discovered new details about the bones, soft tissues and feathers of the species.
Chinese researchers have created a high-precision terrain dataset with millimeter-to-decimeter spatial resolution around the landing site of China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe. Based on this dataset, the researchers from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences determined the accurate location of the landing site of Chang'e-6 and conducted a microscale geological analysis.
