Scientists worldwide are calling for accelerated development and standardization of energy metabolism measurement technologies to tackle pressing global challenges, from ecology under climate change to public health crises. The call to action came during the 6th Recent Advances and Controversies in the Measurement of Energy Metabolism (RACMEM) conference, held in Shenzhen, China, from October 13-17.

A research team led by Prof. YANG Yuanhe from the Institute of Botany has reported that abrupt permafrost thaw accelerates soil phosphorus cycling, with potential consequences for plant primary productivity and carbon sequestration in permafrost ecosystems.
A research team led by Profs. WANG Mingtai and CHEN Chong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science has developed an antimony trisulfide solar cell with a record conversion efficiency of 8.21%. This achievement marks the highest performance ever reported for this type of solar cell.
Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health have revealed a novel mechanism by which the chromatin remodeler brahma-related gene 1 (Brg1) regulate Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in allergic lung inflammation. Brg1 exacerbates allergic lung inflammation by regulating the chromatin status of ILC2s, enhancing their aerobic glycolytic metabolism, and consequently promoting the expansion of effector ILC2s (ILC2eff) and memory ILC2s (ILC2mem).
Recently, a research team led by Prof. XU Yigang and Prof. LIN Mang from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified seven olivine-bearing clasts from two grams of lunar regolith returned by the Chang’e-6 mission.
Chinese scientists have developed an advanced network to monitor and protect the grasslands of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Chinese scientists discovered a new species of snakes in the West China Rain Zone, situated primarily in southwest China's Sichuan Province, and named them western China mountain snakes, the Chengdu Management Branch of the Giant Panda National Park said on Thursday. Relevant findings were published in the international, peer-reviewed journal Zoosystematics and Evolution in September.
A team of Chinese scientists has discovered fossils of a new species of ancient fish that lived about 249 million years ago, breaking two Asian records. The fossils were found in Hexian County, Maanshan City in east China's Anhui Province, in rock layers formed during the Early Triassic Period, following the biggest mass extinction in Earth's history.
The world's first solar magnetic-field telescope working in the mid-infrared wavelength has passed its final acceptance review and is now officially commissioned. The telescope, known as the Accurate Infrared Magnetic Field Measurements of the Sun (AIMS), not only closes the global gap in mid-infrared solar magnetic-field observations, but also provides a crucial benchmark for erecting future large-scale astronomical facilities at high-altitude sites.
