A new study by Chinese scientists on lunar samples collected by the Chang'e-6 mission from the far side of the moon has unveiled a startling discovery about the lunar mantle's reduced state. This finding not only provides new insights into the moon's internal composition and evolution but also highlights a significant difference between the near and far sides of the moon.
China's success in finless porpoise ex-situ conservation has reversed international skepticism. This innovation stands as the world's first successful case of small cetacean ex-situ conservation, offering Chinese wisdom and a Chinese model for global conservation efforts.
More than 100 experts from China and around the world on Thursday gathered in Kashgar, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, for a two-day conference to address one of today's most pressing environmental challenges: biodiversity loss in arid and semi-arid ecosystems.
For a long time, scientists believed that when it came to seed dispersal, invertebrates – aside from ants – were mostly bystanders. Occasional sightings of wasps, beetles, wetas or slugs moving seeds were often brushed off as nature's oddities. But new research is challenging that assumption, pointing to a much bigger role for these overlooked creatures. Could invertebrates be the unsung heroes of plant life here on Earth?
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.
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.
