A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Prof. Zhang Zhenjie at Nankai University, proposed a novel imine-to-olefin transformation strategy to synthesize single-crystal sp² carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp²c-COFs), provides insight into the future development of organic semiconductor applications.
A celestial body recently discovered by the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has been confirmed as a comet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The IAU's Minor Planet Center confirmed the discovery on Thursday and designated the object, first spotted the comet on Jan. 5, C/2025 A3 (Tsuchinshan).
China's National Wild Plant Germplasm Resource Center, built and operated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Kunming Institute of Botany, reported 65 new plant taxa discoveries in 2024, of which 40 were new species.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) announced the 2024 Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize on Thursday, recognizing two scientists and 14 scientific achievements. The Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize of CAS, established in 2002, recognizes individuals or research groups who have made significant contributions to major achievements within the past five years. Nominations and reviews are conducted every two years.
Chinese researchers have discovered a peculiar crystal growth pattern in the lunar samples from the Chang'e-5 mission. The findings may serve as an indicator of extreme non-equilibrium crystallization, providing a reference for future studies into crystal growth mechanisms on airless celestial bodies and in other extreme conditions.
In a rapidly advancing world, a new wave of Chinese innovators are pushing the boundaries of science and technology. These pioneers are not just imagining the future -- they're making it happen.
