A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Jie and Prof. XIE Chengjun from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a multimodal pest recognition framework, PestVL-Net.

A research team led by Profs. CHEN Zhongwei, LUO Dan, and WANG Dongdong from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics​ of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed a "polarity-contrast" electrolyte design strategy that effectively enhances the kinetic characteristics and electrochemical stability of lithium metal batteries under extreme low-temperature conditions.

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Ping from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed the world’s first gas-solid hydride ion prototype battery, which uses hydrogen gas and a metal as the electrodes. The battery not only powers electrical equipment, but also enables highly efficient hydrogen storage under ambient temperature and pressure through an innovative hydrogen-electricity co-storage mechanism.

The researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Sheffield and the University of Exeter, revealed that changes in Antarctic ozone during boreal autumn significantly influence winter precipitation in Central Asia.

A recent study published on PLOS Biology has uncovered that the cell fate of Anabaena PCC 7120, a cyanobacterium, is controlled by a dual-threshold system relying on multiple c-di-GMP metabolic enzymes. Quantitative analysis established two critical physiological thresholds in vivo: a minimal c-di-GMP level (80%) required for cell size maintenance, and a lower lethal threshold (50%) essential for survival.

A new study has provided the clearest picture yet of water storage in China's lakes. The findings show that the country's natural lakes hold about 1,174 km³ of water, including roughly 335 km³ of freshwater. However, only a limited share of these natural freshwater resources is directly accessible to the population centers in eastern China.

A collaborative team jointly led by Prof. YIN Zongjun from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with Profs. SHEN Bing and ZHOU Jihan from Peking University, has conducted systematic studies of impact-glass particles associated with Chang'e-5 lunar regolith grains.

A research team from the Shenyang Institute of Automation has proposed a novel artificial intelligence framework, termed PI-DeepOKAN. This framework deeply integrates physical laws and provides an efficient new tool for reservoir dynamic simulation and intelligent decision-making.

Chinese scientists have developed a two-dimensional magnesene-based nanotherapy that kills drug-resistant bacteria by inducing localized magnesium overload on bacterial membranes, offering a non-antibiotic strategy for treating central nervous system infections.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified three new species of Aristolochia, a diverse genus of flowering plants commonly known as pipevines, following extensive botanical surveys in southwestern China and Myanmar.

Dr. FENG Jian's team from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published a preview article on a study. This study reveals for the first time that rhizosphere microbial diversity enhances soybean drought resilience by triggering the root-specific secretion of 2-naphthoic acid which recruits and activates the beneficial bacterium Sinorhizobium CS204.

Scientists from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology have developed a microfluidic platform based on the Digital Colony Picker (DCP). This platform integrates single-cell capture, on-chip incubation, and real-time bright-field and fluorescence detection with precise target-cell recovery into one streamlined workflow.

Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a "internal decomposition" mechanism promoted by defects in Ti₂AlC MAX phase precursors, enabling the fabrication of a hierarchical Al₃Ti/Al composite that simultaneously achieves high strength and high modulus at elevated temperatures.

A team led by PhD candidate ZHU Yujing and Prof. CHENG Lijing from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics found how quickly the GOOS can be disabled and by whom. Researchers quantified, for the first time, how data losses in ocean monitoring would severely degrade the ocean heat estimates that underpin weather prediction, El Niño forecasting, and fisheries management.

A research team led by Prof. LIU Lingli from the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified a mean annual precipitation (MAP) threshold of approximately 700 mm, beyond which the dominant controls on ecosystem nitrogen retention shift.

A new study led by researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identifies the atmospheric layer below 200 m above the Muztagh-ata station as the key physical layer determining the site's optical astronomical observing quality. The study also finds a distinct stratified wind structure with significant seasonal and diurnal variations at the site: wind speeds are higher in winter and lower in summer, with a stable prevailing wind direction from the south-west across all altitude layers.

A recent study finds that the gas motions within SDC335.579-0.292—a massive, star-forming infrared dark cloud in the Milky Way — cannot be fully explained by the conventional assumption that collapse simply accelerates toward the center. Instead, the cloud exhibits an inverted infall velocity profile.

Researchers led by Prof. ZHAO Xin from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, together with collaborators from Southeast University, the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility, and Wuhan University, have developed a leaf-inspired covalent organic framework (COF) heterostructure that significantly improves photocatalytic hydrogen production.
