Researchers at the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have successfully developed a novel radical self-assembled molecular material. This innovation overcomes both the inadequate performance and the difficulty of uniformly fabricating large-area hole-transport layers in perovskite solar cells. The technology has been efficiency-certified by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
A group of Chinese researchers has discovered the biosynthesis and release process of the key pheromone that causes a locust outbreak, making an important contribution to the ecological prevention of locust plagues. Researchers from the Institute of Zoology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University have achieved precise chemical control of the biosynthesis and release process of the locust aggregation pheromone 4VA. The study was published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
Chinese researchers have successfully reintroduced Petrocosmea grandiflora, a critically endangered plant long thought lost, into its natural habitat in the sinkholes of Mengzi City, in the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture of southwest China's Yunnan Province.
Scientists have uncovered evidence indicating that humans extensively used fire to transform environments as early as 50,000 years ago -- far earlier than previously believed. An international team, led by researchers from the Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed a 300,000-year-old sediment core from the East China Sea. Their studies showed a significant increase in fire activity across East Asia approximately 50,000 years ago.
Last year, Chen Liquan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was awarded the CAS Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award, a recognition for a lifetime of groundbreaking contributions. From developing China's first all-solid-state lithium metal battery to mentoring a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, Chen's work has been instrumental in transforming China from a follower to a global leader in battery technology.
While China's green energy transition appears to have a heavy focus on electric vehicles, solar, wind and hydro power, another clean energy source being developed is hydrogen. Zhou Wu, an expert on hydrogen catalysis has been a driving force behind China's research into the process that could revolutionize the clean commercial production of hydrogen.
At the end of 2024, Chinese scientist Wei Yuansong, a leading expert in water pollution control, received an extraordinary honor: a set of commemorative stamps issued by Sri Lanka featuring his portrait. This rare tribute recognized his decade-long commitment to providing communities with safe drinking water and fostering scientific collaboration between China and Sri Lanka.
