A new study by Chinese scientists has shed light on the coupling effects of snow cover and ground thermal on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, according to the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
A new study by Chinese researchers and their German counterparts has shed light on the link between groundwater balance and plant water-use efficiency in desert ecosystems, offering valuable insights for ecological restoration and combating desertification.
What mechanism accelerates cosmic rays to the 3 peta-electron-volt (PeV) range — over 1,000 times the energy of the world's most powerful man-made particle accelerators — causing a sharp decline in the number of higher-energy cosmic rays and forming a knee-like shape in their energy spectrum? Using data from China's Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), a team of Chinese and international scientists has identified powerful jets from black holes as the "engines" driving high-energy particles in the Milky Way. This marks a milestone in observationally connecting the "knee" structure to a specific type of astrophysical source since its discovery 70 years ago.
The latest samples from 26 scientific experiments conducted aboard China's space station, totaling approximately 46.67 kilograms, were brought back to Earth on Friday, according to the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization (CSU) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Marking the ninth transfer of materials from the orbiting laboratory, the Shenzhou-21 return capsule brought back samples from experiments in space life sciences, materials science and combustion research.
China's Tiangong space station is set to welcome another spectacled visitor. ZHANG Hongzhang, researcher from a leading natural science institute, will conduct experiments in orbit 400 km above Earth, elevating his quest for achieving groundbreaking studies to cosmic heights. The 39-year-old space debutant is a payload specialist on the Shenzhou-21 crewed mission, which is scheduled for launch from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China late on Friday.
For nearly 10 years, Tajik geologist Dzhovid Yogibekov has made his life in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, where his studies have grown into a deep connection with local society. Xinjiang, which borders Tajikistan, is easily accessible from his home country. Yogibekov said he could reach Tajikistan in just a few hours via the Karasu Port in Kashgar, which makes it more convenient for him to study in the region.
After her neuroimaging research at Germany's Max Planck Institute, Dr. LI Juan chose to join the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – drawn by its global reputation and the synergy between her work and NIMTE's Nanobiomaterials Group. She collaborates with a vibrant team, pioneering novel biomaterials and smart biomedical probes for the precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
