A team of researchers from the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a Doppler heterodyne Wind Imager (DWI), marking China's first vector wind field detection payload for the middle and upper atmosphere. The DWI was launched aboard the "Tianlu-1" satellite and has already acquired its first in-orbit interferograms.

A new study led by Dr. TIAN Ye's research team at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology reveals that chronic mitochondrial stress in neurons promotes serotonin release via TMBIM-2-dependent calcium oscillations, which in turn activates the mitochondrial unfolded protein response in the intestine.
Scientists from the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, together with collaborators from Hangzhou Normal University, have revealed the catalytic role of reactive oxygen species superoxide in a haem-catalase mediated synthesis of ergot alkaloids, a group of medicinal natural products for treating various diseases.
Scientists have long sought to determine the age of the Moon's South Pole–Aitken (SPA) basin, the largest and oldest known impact crater on the lunar surface. Recently, a research team led by Prof. CHEN Yi from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has dated the formation of the basin to 4.25 billion years ago by analyzing the first-ever rock samples returned from the SPA basin by China's Chang'e-6 mission.
A research group led by Prof. ZHOU Yongjin from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborating with researchers from the Naval Medical University, has achieved the biosynthesis of the antiviral ingredient lignan glycoside in yeast <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>.
China's national space weather monitoring network, the Meridian Project, passed national acceptance procedures for Phase II on March 21, making it the world's largest comprehensive space environment monitoring network alongside Phase I. Construction of the second phase began in 2019, adding 16 stations, 58 observation points and 195 sets of space weather equipment.
As reported in Advanced Photonics Nexus, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently made a significant advancement by developing a compact, solid-state laser system capable of generating 193-nm coherent light. This wavelength is crucial for photolithography, a process used to etch intricate patterns onto silicon wafers, forming the backbone of modern electronic devices.
Chinese and New Zealand scientists have successfully concluded a groundbreaking collaborative dive expedition to the Puysegur Trench, supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Global Trench Exploration and Diving program (Global TREnD). The mission marked the first international scientific dive exploration of the Puysegur Trench and the second collaborative deep-sea expedition between China and New Zealand.
One of China's key scientific infrastructures, the Chinese Meridian Project (CMP), also known as the Ground-based Space Environment Monitoring Network, successfully passed national acceptance for its second phase on Friday. It will boost cutting-edge scientific research and provide key support for the country's space weather forecasting services, according to the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
