Researchers led by Prof. WANG Chao from the Institute of Applied Ecology revealed a significant coupling between the temperature sensitivities of carbon use efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency, with higher Q₁₀ values at lower temperatures and a shift in the primary drivers from biotic to abiotic factors as temperature increased.

A research team led by Prof. ZENG Jiangyuan from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new algorithm, the Heterogeneity-Aware Downscaling Algorithm (HADA), which significantly improves global soil moisture observation by enhancing satellite-derived data resolution from approximately 25 km to 5 km.

A research group led by Prof. HAN Fangpu from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully cloned the broad-spectrum stripe rust resistance gene Yr83 from the Ukrainian triticale accession Rozovskaya.

A new study has reconstructed nearly 40 years of suspended sediment concentration data across the Yellow River, uncovering both a long-term downward trend and a recent reversal in this decline. By integrating decades of satellite observations with a newly developed retrieval model, the study illustrates how reservoirs, tributary inflows, vegetation restoration and check dams have collectively reshaped sediment dynamics along one of the world's most sediment-rich waterways.

Research led by Profs. WANG Yucai, ZHU Shu, and JIANG Wei from the University of Science and Technology of China, has for the first time uncovered the fundamental mechanism underlying the body’s non-specific clearance of drug delivery carriers by identifying a gut–liver immune regulatory axis maintained by intestinal commensal bacteria and the intestinal endocrine system.

A team of Chinese researchers has modeled the potential global benefits of installing solar panels on outside building walls, a concept known as façade-integrated photovoltaics (FIPV). They found that solar panels installed on building façades not only generate substantial electricity but also reduce cooling demand, thereby reducing carbon emissions and improving urban climate adaptation.

A study led by Dr. ZHU Yingjie and Dr. CHEN Zijun from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed that a septal inhibitory circuit constrains alcohol reward and mediates liraglutide's suppressive effects on alcohol intake in mice.

A research team led by Prof. SUN Yonghua from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has established an inducible Treg (iTreg)-mediated immune-tolerant host system that overcomes the immune rejection barrier in subcutaneous transplantation of allogeneic gonadal primordia.

A research team from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with researchers from Northeastern University, has developed a novel solar-driven co-upcycling strategy that enables the synergistic valorization of waste polystyrene and elemental sulfur. The approach integrates clean solar energy with the high-value utilization of industrial byproducts.

Prof. HUI Lijian's team from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the collaborators, revealed how genomic instability and immune remodeling jointly shape malignant transformation, providing a rare glimpse into the earliest stages of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) evolution.

A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed that the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite can track changes in lake volumes across China with high accuracy, providing improved monitoring of small lakes that were frequently missed by earlier methods.

A research team from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a satellite-based method to analyze the life cycle of ocean eddies forming along Arctic sea-ice edges.

Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the collaborators, developed an atomic-column-resolved electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD) method capable of imaging antiferromagnetic order at the atomic scale.

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University, identified S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) as a novel gene linked to age-related obesity for the first time.

A study led by ZHONG Chao's team from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology and George M. Church's group from Harvard University developed a recombinase-based programmable platform which enables a single founder cell to autonomously generate multiple descendant cell types in controlled differentiation ratios and fate-branching to proceed according to preset genetic rules.

Researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and Northeast Forestry University revealed that trees adopt distinct strategies to balance water transport, sugar distribution, and storage depending on their climate. This study is the first to systematically compare the functional ratios of mature, canopy-level woody plants.

A research group led by Prof. GE Ziyi and Prof. LIU Chang at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed an innovative colloidal chemistry strategy to enhance the performance of all-perovskite tandem solar cells (TSCs). The study was published in Joule.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Hongzhi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a programmable plasmonic ring biosensor, MetaRing, which is capable of rapidly and accurately identifying paclitaxel sensitivity in breast cancer patients.
