The Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology (TIB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Belgium's Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie-Flanders Institute of Biotechnology (VIB) renewed their commitment to advancing synthetic biology research through the extension of their Joint Center for Synthetic Biology. The agreement was signed on December 15 in Tianjin, China, by Prof. XIANG Hua, director of TIB, and Dr. Christine Durinx, Managing Director of VIB.

Researchers working on China' s fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving stable operation at densities well beyond conventional limits.
A research team from the Kunming Institute of Zoology has demonstrated for the first time in non-human primates that auditory stimulation at 40-Hz significantly elevates β-amyloid levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of aged rhesus monkeys, with this effect persisting for over five weeks.
Researchers from the Kunming Institute of Zoology have demonstrated that the Hide-in-Bird Pond model, a community-based, grassroots avitourism initiative in which local communities establish artificial ponds and feeding stations to attract avian species for non-invasive observation and photography, has proliferated rapidly across China.
Researchers led by Prof. LIANG Yu from the Institute of Botany have uncovered the mechanisms underlying plant community assembly and biodiversity maintenance, revealing that plant-associated microorganisms play a pivotal yet underappreciated role in mediating species coexistence.
Step inside China's next-level giant "super lab," where scientists are pushing the limits by recreating the most extreme conditions on Earth, from ultra-low temperatures to ultra-high pressures and so on, all in one place and under one roof. This cutting-edge facility is designed to push the boundaries and become a global hub for groundbreaking research, unlocking breakthroughs that could reshape technologies, medicine, and quantum computing.
An industrial demonstration project which passed an acceptance review in Beijing on Tuesday can decompose hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic industrial waste gas, into high-purity hydrogen and sulfur, offering an innovative pathway for green transformation in traditional industries such as natural gas, petrochemicals and coal utilization.
Nestled among the mountains by the sea in Huizhou, Guangdong province, one of the world's largest all-ion accelerators is poised to go into operation, helping China to be at the forefront of nuclear science. The High Intensity Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), which generated its first beam in October 2025 after seven years of construction, was developed by the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Researchers have identified a method to surpass the plasma density limit in experiments with the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the "artificial sun," providing a crucial physical basis for high-density operation in magnetic confinement fusion devices.
