A research team led by WANG Mingshan from the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how domestication influences hippocampal cell composition, regulation, and evolution by integrating single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), population genomics, and machine learning.

A research group from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered a novel mechanism by which redox signals couple with calcium dynamics and coordinate flagellar beating.

The BESIII Collaboration, led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has achieved the world's most precise measurement of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the Lambda (Λ) hyperon using quantum-entangled Λ–anti-Λ pairs produced in J/ψ decays. The result improves the experimental sensitivity by about three orders of magnitude compared with the previous measurement, providing a new way to probe charge-parity (CP) violation in particles containing strange quarks.

A research team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography has proposed a new ecosystem health framework to track long-term, consistent ecological changes across Asian drylands, and has found expanding ecological decline across Asian drylands.

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered the microscopic mechanisms behind soil carbon sequestration during tropical forest restoration. It showed that when microbes get the nutrients they need, they become powerful allies in locking carbon underground.

A research team from the Institute of Metal Research, together with collaborators, has revealed a new mechanism by which spatially ordered heteroatoms induce bulk polarization in nonpolar semiconductor photocatalysts, offering a promising pathway to overcoming the long-standing challenge of efficient charge separation for solar water splitting.

Researchers from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology, with collaborators, have developed a theoretical framework that quantitatively connects the macroscopic mechanical response of unentangled elastomers to the mechanics and conformations of individual polymer strands.

Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory conducted an analysis of archival VLBI data of the X-ray binary SS 433. By measuring the jet width as a function of distance from the central black hole, the researchers for the first time obtained the jet collimation profile in an X-ray binary.

According to a study by researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their domestic and international collaborators, forest recovery on land affected by fires, harvesting, and other disturbances has been the main contributor to China's forest carbon sink over the past three decades.

A team led by researcher CHEN Yousheng from the South China Botanical Garden identifies two new species of the genus Ormosia in the Pearl River Delta and adjacent areas:Ormosia yangjiangensis and Ormosia taishanensis.

In a collaborative study using China's FAST telescope, researchers from CAS and DESI project have found that although cosmic star formation has plummeted, the supply of neutral atomic hydrogen—the fuel for galaxy formation—has remained nearly stable, decreasing only slightly.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics revealed that a distinct population of macrophages can directly engulf scar-forming material in the liver and promote the reversal of liver fibrosis. The finding reveals an unrecognized mechanism by which macrophages help clear fibrotic tissue: not by secreting factors, but by physically removing the extracellular matrix.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have provided the clearest family tree yet for Androsace. They confirmed that several formerly recognized g​enera, including Douglasia, Vitaliana, and Pomatosace are actually part of Androsace, and should be treated as one broader group.

A team led by Prof. CHONG Kang from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) gene designated Tolerance to Salt 1 (TOLS1), and revealed how it shapes rice salt tolerance, providing new genetic resources and insights for breeding salt-tolerant rice varieties.

A research team led by Prof. CHU Junhao at the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics has developed an atomic-scale stepwise evaporation method called Step-Eva that enables the direct in situ growth of single-crystal metal films on semiconductors.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have established a robust functional-trait framework to predict the growth performance across nine hybrid cultivars of balsa. This framework provides a powerful tool to accelerate breeding programs and help meet supply-chain demands in sectors such as wind energy and aerospace manufacturing.

A team of researchers led by Prof. WANG Min from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the mechanism by which 1,3-propanediol dinitrate (1,3-PDN), a hydrophobic rumen-targeted CH₄ inhibitor, suppresses CH₄ production

A team led by Prof. WANG Yufei from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with the collaborator from Austria, revealed that the global grassland coverage will likely increase at the end of this century.
