  Scientists Develop A New System for Better Atmosphere Detection

  Scientists developed a new spectral system to better explore atmospheric environment by realizing three-dimensional detectiong of OH radical in the atmosphere. The research was conducted by XIONG Wei and his team in Hefei Institutes of Physical Science. And their work may assist improving China 's stereoscopic detection technology of atmospheric environment.

  Cold Stress Is the Driving Factor of Intense Defoliation of Rubber ...

  Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden used sap flow and climatic data of four years' (from 2013-2016) observations to explore the pattern and driving factor of intense defoliation of rubber plantations, and to determine the sensitivity of sap flow to climatic factors during the four periods.

  Mixing Between Two Light Scalar Mesons Observed at BESIII

  Scientists observed the mixing of two light scalar mesons, a_0⁰(980) and f₀(980), using data samples accumulated with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII). This observation should help clear up what the 980 MeV scalar mesons are made of (e.g., a tetraquark, meson molecule, quark-gluon hybrid). The results were published recently in Physical Review Letters.
