The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Spanish Consortium for the Construction, Equipping and Exploitation of the Synchrotron Light Source (CELLS) signed a cooperation agreement on July 26, 2025 in Beijing. This collaboration aims to advance the development of synchrotron science and technology by leveraging the expertise and facilities of both parties, defining the specific collaborative activities and programs between IHEP and CELLS. It will focus on three main areas: accelerator technology, experimental beamline technology, and scientific cooperation.

In a collaborative research effort, Prof. LAI Ren from the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with Prof. NI Heyu from the University of Toronto, has uncovered a novel link between gut microbiota-derived palmitic acid and increased thrombosis risk in cardiovascular disease.
A team led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems to achieves multiple types of precise DNA manipulations ranging from kilobase to megabase scale in higher organisms, especially plants.
A research team from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of Chinese Academy of Sciences used the IRAM 30-meter telescope in Spain to observe a large number of molecular clouds at the Galactic edge with a Galactocentric distance of 14-22 kiloparsecs.
A research team led by Prof. FENG Wei at the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, published a new study shedding light on the structural and functional basis of kinesin-2 assembly.
China's decade-long fishing ban has been effective in improving the aquatic biodiversity along the Yangtze River. Aquatic biodiversity in the Yangtze River basin has been recovering following the fishing ban. From 2021 to 2024, 344 native fish species were monitored in the basin, an increase of 36 species compared with the 2017-2020 period that preceded the fishing ban.
A professional atlas documenting the wildlife of the Qilian Mountains, one of China's key ecological security barriers, has been published, according to the Northwest Institute of Plateau Biology (NWIPB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This atlas is the first in China to systematically present the wildlife resources of the Qilian Mountains with both scientific rigor and stunning visual presentation, said Zhang Tongzuo, editor of the atlas and a researcher at the NWIPB.
Chinese scientists have developed a high-precision gridded precipitation dataset to support climate and precipitation research in alpine cold regions, according to the Northwest Institute of Eco-environment and Resources (NIEER) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Using artificial intelligence, the researchers at NIEER created a new framework called Three-Layer Intelligent Downscaling and Calibration (TLIDC) to produce detailed precipitation data specifically tailored for these extreme environments.
China's Future Science Prize on Wednesday recognized eight scientists, including three laureates in the Life Science Prize, three in the Physical Science Prize and one in the Mathematics and Computer Science Prize. Established in 2016, the prize is a privately-sponsored award initiated by scientists and entrepreneurs. It is set to reward those who have made outstanding achievements in science. To date, a total of 46 scientists have been awarded the prize.
