The International Centre on Space Technologies for Natural and Cultural Heritage (HIST) is set to embark on its third operational phase (2025–2033) following the signing of a pivotal agreement. This landmark accord was formalized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), representing the Chinese government, alongside the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and HIST itself.

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators have synthesized a new isotope—protactinium-210—for the first time. It is the most neutron-deficient isotope of protactinium synthesized to date.
Traditionally, the duration of LOME was estimated at 1–2 million years. However, the use of advanced high-precision zircon U-Pb dating techniques shows that the extinction occurred on a much shorter timescale, spanning hundreds of thousands of years.
A new study by Dr. YANG Tianxiao and colleagues from the Institute of Psychology reveals that cue saliency significantly outperforms episodic future thinking in improving prospective memory in school-age children, offering practical strategies to enhance their self-regulation and daily task management.
An international research team led by the Yunnan Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with collaborators, has achieved a breakthrough by using the Transit Timing Variation (TTV) technique for the first time to discover a super-Earth. The exoplanet, Kepler-725c, has 10 times the mass of Earth and is located in the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-725.
Hundreds of students, teachers and technology enthusiasts explored cutting-edge scientific and technological innovations, including artificial intelligence and robots, at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, on Saturday. The event marked the opening of the 2025 Beijing Science and Technology Week and the "Light of Automation" Public Science Day at the CASIA.
A research team led by Chinese scientists has synthesized a new isotope protactinium-210 for the first time, which is currently the most neutron-deficient isotope of protactinium. The findings have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
China's experience in the conservation of the Yangtze finless porpoise using advanced monitoring equipment and artificial intelligence is being applied to the protection of Irrawaddy dolphins in the Mekong River in Cambodia.
For centuries, the question of whether life exists beyond Earth has intrigued humanity, and now a joint discovery by Chinese and German scientists may offer a significant clue. Based on the Transit Timing Variation (TTV) technique for the first time, the super-Earth, Kepler-725c, with 10 times the mass of the Earth, has been detected within the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-725, which is a promising candidate for potential habitability.
