A research team from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has clarified how deposited nitrogen is retained in forest ecosystems and how this process contributes to carbon sequestration across China.

Astronomers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory have uncovered compelling evidence that a collision between two molecular clouds is triggering star formation in G34, a molecular cloud.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new way to significantly enhance upconversion luminescence in oxide perovskites, a class of materials known for their thermal and chemical stability, but has limited optical efficiency.

Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory have developed an automated image classification model that can rapidly and objectively assess cloud conditions from all-sky camera images, offering a more efficient solution for continuous site monitoring.

Using cryo-EM structure determination, molecular dynamics simulations, and electrophysiological analyses, researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Renji Hospital determined how Ostα/β transports bile acids and why it differs fundamentally from previously characterized carriers.

A new study has found that L1td1, a protein evolutionarily co-opted from the Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE1) retrotransposon, functions as a critical "gatekeeper" restricting pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) from reverting to a totipotent state.

A research team from the Institute of Metal Research has developed a novel bond coat material that significantly enhances the oxidation resistance of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) at 1,200 °C, a critical advancement for next-generation ultra-high-thrust aero-engines.

A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science has developed a high-accuracy land surface temperature (LST) retrieval algorithm using spaceborne full-spectrum imaging spectrometer data. This new method significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of LST retrieval under complex surface and atmospheric conditions.

An extraordinary cosmic explosion detected by China's Einstein Probe (EP), also known in Chinese as Tianguan, could mark the first direct observation of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) tearing apart a white dwarf. The discovery—one that yields critical insights into these elusive "seed" black holes—was enabled by the satellite's innovative X-ray telescopes.

Researchers from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture conducted a series of investigations to assess the cycling processes of soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as the community properties, functions, and interaction patterns of belowground biota in karst farmland regions of Southwest China.
