The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) has successfully completed filling its 20,000-tons liquid scintillator detector and begun data taking on August 26. After more than a decade of preparation and construction, JUNO is the first of a new generation of very large neutrino experiments to reach this stage.

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Binbin from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a superhydrophobic composite coating with mechanical stability and long-term anti-corrosion performance by utilizing recycled tire rubber particles as armored skeleton structure.
A research team led by Prof. HUANG Diying from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified three species of Jurassic orthopterans—an insect group that includes grasshoppers, crickets and katydids—with forewing patterns nearly identical to the leaves of bennettitales, an extinct, cycad-like seed plant.
Led by Prof. JIN Zhijun, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Prof. ZHAO Mingyu from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of CAS, an international research team has developed a global biogeochemical inversion model. This innovative model explicitly links methane cycling across three critical reservoirs: sediments, the ocean, and the atmosphere.
A research team co-led by Prof. GUO Shun and Prof. LIU Jingbo from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has presented direct geological proof that the infiltration of silicic fluids rich in ferrous chloride into dolomitic marble triggers decarbonation reactions—generating hydrogen gas and magnetite, which in turn act as catalysts for abiotic organic synthesis.
The Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences has established long-term and extensive cooperation with many institutions across Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) member states. XIEG has shared valuable expertise in areas such as desertification control, saline soil improvement, and water-saving irrigation with Central Asian and other countries.
Chinese and international scientists have, for the first time, discovered a solid inner core, with a radius of about 600 km, inside Mars, thereby providing crucial clues to the evolutionary history of Mars' magnetic field. A team led by Sun Daoyuan and Mao Zhu from the University of Science and Technology of China, located in east China's Anhui Province, in collaboration with an international researcher, conducted an in-depth analysis of marsquake data recorded by NASA's InSight lander.
A deep sea worm that inhabits hydrothermal vents survives the high levels of toxic arsenic and sulfide in its environment by combining them in its cells to form a less hazardous mineral.
When it comes to Central Asia, people will think of many colors: the yellow of vast deserts, the black of rich oil reserves, and the white of cotton fields. Particularly in Uzbekistan, at the heart of the region, cotton is often referred to as "white gold." Cotton is the natural national wealth of the country, and today it has become a symbol of friendship, marking the scientific cooperation between China and Central Asian countries, as well as their shared commitment to sustainable development.
