A research team from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health has elucidated the molecular basis underlying cross-genus inhibition of paramyxovirus polymerases by the antiviral compound ERDRP-0519 and developed optimized inhibitors with enhanced activity against Nipah virus (NiV).

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that balsa wood plantations employ an age-dependent, dynamic water-use strategy that shifts from "conservative" to "opportunistic" as the plantations mature.

Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a quantitative model accurately describing the inverse relationship between strength and fracture toughness in metallic materials. This model provides a powerful theoretical tool for designing high-performance structural alloys.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered that phosphorus enrichment can trigger threshold-like, nonlinear shifts in grassland arthropod community composition that mirror the changes in plant phosphorus content, even when overall arthropod abundance and diversity remain largely unchanged.

A collaborative research group led by Prof. LI Xiaojun and Prof. LI Yongfang from the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with Prof. HOU Yi from the National University of Singapore, have proposed an asymmetric halogen heavy-atom modification strategy to overcome non-radiative energy loss challenges in narrow-bandgap acceptors.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered how soil viruses influence the accumulation and long-term storage of soil organic carbon in farmland ecosystems. They found that viral interactions with microorganisms can promote carbon sequestration through host-cell lysis and metabolic reprogramming.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that drought and nitrogen deposition are the primary drivers of changes in the elemental composition of plant litter in temperate grasslands, while variation within species plays a dominant role in shaping community-level responses.

Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research have developed a flexible, dual-function, self-compensating sensor that can recognize gestures and perceive temperature simultaneously. This offers a simplified solution for multifunctional sensing in wearable electronics, intelligent robotics, and electronic skin.

A collaborative team led by Prof. QIAO Yan and WANG Shu, together with scientists from China and the United Kingdom, has developed an innovative strategy for asymmetric division in artificial cells based on transient chemical heterogeneity and interfacial energy gradients.

A new study led by researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that global reservoirs are losing storage capacity at an average rate of 7.3% per decade, while sedimentation risks in small reservoirs have long been underestimated.

A recent study led by the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography has revealed common adaptation patterns and region-specific characteristics of desert nematodes and found they have evolved remarkable capacity for extreme survival.

Researchers from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a hardware-assisted probabilistic-gradient-of-activation-function-accelerated backpropagation (p-GAF-BP) algorithm that significantly reduces computational overhead and energy consumption during AI training.

A recent study led by Prof. ZHOU Yongqiang from the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that the age of dissolved organic carbon in global rivers is fundamentally controlled by how long carbon resides in soils before entering aquatic systems.

By conducting systematic observations of the long-period comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS), a recent study led by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory reveals the activity enhancement process of this comet at large heliocentric distances (from 7.2 au to 5.9 au).

A team led by Prof. LI Dejun from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences provided the first evidence in a subtropical karst forest that tree species diversity significantly suppresses priming effects, and elucidates a novel synergistic regulatory mechanism on alleviating microbial energy limitation, functional guild transition, and gene expression rewiring.

A team led by Prof. WU Mingyan from Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter of the Chinese Academy of Sciences designed and synthesized an ultrastable microporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-TBPDM) with unique 2D interconnected pores, achieving record-high Xe/Kr separation performance and ultra-fast adsorption kinetics.

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Yaning from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography found that foliar nano-selenium functions as a smart coordinator linking photosynthesis, root nutrient allocation and rhizosphere microbes.

Researchers have discovered a new species of Aspidistra (Asparagaceae) in central Laos. The new species, named Aspidistra khamkheuthensis, was identified by researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences following a series of field surveys in Bolikhamsai Province and neighboring areas.
