A new study has revealed that observing Earth from the moon serves as a powerful way of seeing the planet's true, global radiation signature, cutting through the "noise" of local weather to capture its core climate patterns. Published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, this new research endeavor confirms that a moon-based platform effectively overcomes these limitations by providing a permanent, full-disk view of the planet.
A research team led by Prof. BAI Shuo from the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has pioneered a fully biodegradable, self-powered implantable electrical stimulation system designed to enhance muscle repair.
A group of Chinese researchers has achieved a breakthrough in refrigeration technology by discovering a new cooling effect that can help simultaneously realize low-carbon emission, high cooling capacity and high heat transfer efficiency.
In late Dec 2025, a diverse group of young Chinese explorers, led by CAS scientist Wang Feiteng, visited Urumqi Glacier No. 1 in Xinjiang. This glacier, the closest to a major city, retreats 5 meters annually due to global warming, with its area having shrunk by 20% since 1959. Amid global glacier decline, the NGO Polar Hub launched the "Glacier Watch" project and set up monitoring stations. Using drones and AI, the young team collects data, develops virtual games, and advocates for glacier protection to raise public awareness.
What began as a simple childhood fascination has driven Zhu Maoyan into becoming a globally recognized expert in the field of early life evolution and Earth system history. On top of honors such as being elected as an honorary fellow of the Geological Society of London, Zhu added the title of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to his repertoire in November.
The ocean, as described by physical oceanographer ZHOU Hui of the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS), is a "chaotic yet fascinating dance floor." It's a dynamic stage where everything from tiny ripples to vast, thousand-kilometer currents interact in a perpetual performance.
At work, Wang Zhifeng is a scientist specializing in solar thermal power research, but in his free time, he is an avid snow sports enthusiast. He has even covered one of the walls in his office with action shots of him and his family out on the slopes. He has combined his two passions to envision an indoor ski resort powered by solar energy on a sunny island in south China. In his eyes, solar power has great crossover potential: It is a source of heating and can be converted into various forms of energy, including cooling.
