The "Karst Biodiversity Conservation and Ecosystem Resilience Enhancement Programme" (Karst Biodiversity Programme), led by Professor CHEN Hongsong from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture (ISA) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was selected as an implementing initiative for UNESCO's International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD) for 2024-2033. The announcement was made on November 28.

A research team from the Institute of Modern Physics has directly measured the masses of two highly unstable atomic nuclei, phosphorus-26 and sulfur-27. These precise measurements provide crucial information for determining the nuclear reaction rate during X-ray bursts, advancing our understanding of how elements are synthesized under such extreme conditions.
A new study led by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered the first observational evidence of lateral negative re-discharges occurring on negative leader channels. The finding offers new insights into how lightning channels remain electrically active, and how their structures evolve before and after a return stroke.
Researchers led by Prof. ZHAO Yan from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported high-resolution cryo-EM structures of GlyT2 in three major conformational states. These structures illuminate the transporter's molecular mechanisms and provide critical insights into how analgesic compounds are recognized.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a new species named <i>Begonia chunxiuensis</i>, which was collected in southwestern Guangxi, China.
Zhang Ganlin, a researcher at the Institute of Soil Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, received the 2025 Glinka World Soil Prize on Friday at the World Soil Day celebration held at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome.
A groundbreaking experiment recreates Einstein's 1927 thought challenge, confirming fundamental quantum principle. In a landmark study that brings a definitive close to one of the most famous debates in modern physics, a team of Chinese scientists has experimentally validated Niels Bohr's core quantum principle, demonstrating that a particle's path and its wave-like behavior are fundamentally mutually exclusive – a notion Albert Einstein famously resisted.
This year's newly elected academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said at the certificate awarding ceremony on Friday that they would leverage their research to drive economic development and address the pressing needs of the country. In November, the CAS announced the election of 73 new members from China, bringing the total CAS number to 908.
A research team led by the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently mapped a comprehensive landscape of natural aging in rhesus monkeys, covering all major organ systems across multiple molecular dimensions, the China Science Daily reported on Thursday.
