A Chinese research team led by Yu Yinghong, a researcher at the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, has pioneered a revolutionary leap in agricultural technology: a nondestructive testing system that performs "seed CT scans" to assess the vitality of individual seeds.
Chinese scientists, in collaboration with several international research institutions, have led the construction of a high-precision surface solar radiation monitoring system on a near-global scale. The joint research led by researchers from the State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of the Aerospace Information Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with scientists from Japan, France, and the UK has recently been published in the international academic journal The Innovation.
Chinese scientists have identified a significant but often overlooked consequence of microplastic pollution -- its harmful impact on photosynthesis -- a fundamental process driving Earth's primary productivity and food security. The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Soil Science at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISSCAS) and Nanjing University, was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Recently the plant immunity team led by Professor Liu Zhiyong from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB), Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, unveiled a novel immune mechanism by which tandem kinases combat pathogen invasion: an atypical NLR protein, WTN1 (Wheat Tandem NBD 1), partners with the tandem kinase WTK3 to detect pathogen effectors and initiate immune responses.
Participants at a parallel forum of the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing unveiled an initiative on Thursday, calling for global collaboration to leverage digital science and technology to accelerate sustainable development and address global challenges.
A research group led by Prof. GE Ziyi at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a low-crystallinity guest acceptor D-IDT via tin-free direct C–H activation as a third component of the binary organic solar cells (OSCs), achieving a highly stable OSC with the power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 19.92 percent.
