A warming pool of tropical ocean acted like a "regulator," dialing up snowstorms over East Antarctica and contributing to a brief net ice-sheet mass gain of 695 billion tons, according to a new study by researchers at the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Researchers from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science and The Chinese University of Hong Kong developed a series of genetic lineage-tracing tools to investigate the origins of newly formed coronary collateral arteries after myocardial infarction, and revealed that de novo coronary collateral arteries arise predominantly from capillary endothelial cells rather than pre-existing arterial endothelial cells.

A team led by Prof. ZHOU Bin from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, along with Prof. Ralf H. Adams from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine, reported the absence of lymphatic vessels in homeostasis and regenerating bone and their abnormal invasion under pathological conditions by using dual-recombinase-mediated genetic strategies.

Researchers led by Profs. ZENG Changgan and CHENG Guanghui from the University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with the collaborators, have demonstrated for the first time that the vacuum fluctuations can enhance superconductivity, a significant advance in the control of quantum states of matter.

A team led by Prof. CHEN Ming and Prof. YANG Chunlei from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Prof. WEI Lei's team from Nanyang Technological University, developed a bio-inspired flexible bimodal sensor that enables photoelectric and pressure sensing at the same location and at the same time.

Researchers from Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory and Konkoly Observatory in Hungary obtained the first direct observational evidence for an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the triple-merger galaxy UGC 2369S.

A new species of cinnamon tree has been discovered by scientists from the South China Botanical Garden in Guangdong Province, China, expanding scientists' understanding of the diversity and evolution of the genus Cinnamomum.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators have for the first time quantitatively confirmed a rapid rise of the Gangdese Mountains in southern Tibet around 15 million years ago.

Inspired by the swimming mechanism of manta rays, a research team from the Shenyang Institute of Automation has developed a wireless near infrared light-controlled biosyncretic manta ray robot powered by isolated bullfrog skeletal muscle.

A team led by Prof. WANG Qi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with Luzhou Laojiao Co., Ltd, developed two data-fusion methods for rapid and accurate identification of brewing sorghum varieties.

A research team led by Prof. FANG Yonghua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a dual-differential sphere–tube coupled photoacoustic–scattering system that enables simultaneous measurement of aerosol absorption and scattering at 450 and 532 nm.

A study, conducted by LIU Yansui from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with the collaborators, using the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as a case study, investigated regime shifts arising from rural-urban transitions by monitoring social-ecological system resilience dynamics.

A research team led by Prof. LI Hai from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified early brain changes associated with cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

A research team from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology has proposed a hydration-layer-mediated sieving strategy. By creating dynamic angstrom-scale hydrapores, they utilized short-range interactions mediated by solvent molecules to achieve precise separation of monovalent cations.

A research team from the Institute of Oceanology has evealed contrasting patterns of deep mantle upwelling beneath the Izu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) subduction zones, they found that deep mantle upwelling may play an important role in driving arc rifting and back-arc spreading in the two zones.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that interspecific interactions significantly enhance the plant performance of tropical legumes, particularly under phosphorus-limited conditions.

Researchers at the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) have shown how a metabolic mechanism underlying thermal tolerance in intertidal oysters sheds light on malignant proliferation in human lung adenocarcinoma.
