A collaborative study between Chinese and U.S. scientists has revealed that horned dinosaurs experienced a decline in intelligence, hearing and sense of smell as they evolved to larger sizes over 100 million years. By delving into the morphology of the cranial cavities of early ceratopsian dinosaurs, the scientists have shed light on the behavior of these ancient creatures.
A group of scientists led by Chinese researchers have uncovered the significance of iron sulfides in supporting the life origin hypothesis in early Earth's terrestrial hot springs, according to an article published in the academic journal "Nature Communications" on Thursday.
An international team of astronomers has discovered the formation process of in situ spheroids in distant starburst galaxies in the early universe through use of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope, according to an article published on Thursday in the academic journal Nature.
China set a new domestic record on Thursday with the launch of the "Tianyan-504" superconducting quantum computer equipped with the 504-qubit "Xiaohong" chip, marking a significant milestone in the field of quantum computing.
The migration and spread of ancient humans across the Eurasian continent after leaving Africa were significantly influenced by climate change and landscape evolution, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications. The study, led by researchers from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed new evidence that early human migration and the development of stone tool technology in Eurasia were closely related to climate and landscape changes.
China on Wednesday released reports on research hotspots and emerging frontiers in 2024 and selected 125 research frontiers that have performed actively or developed rapidly within this year. The two reports, jointly issued by the Institutes of Science and Development, the National Science Library, both under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Clarivate, seek to understand global sci-tech trends, predict future key scientific breakthroughs, and support national innovation.
