Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have constructed the first comprehensive profile of this long-period system, and discovered that the transferred material does not directly impact the primary star. Instead, it forms a rotating structure—an accretion disk.

According to a new study by researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the vitamin C industry may offer an unexpected resource for sustainable agriculture. They found that a byproduct of vitamin C fermentation can improve soil biological activity and crop performance. Under field conditions, it increased maize grain yield by 8.26% to 13.46%.

A research team from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences uncovered the origin of low-temperature instability in VFB electrolytes and developed a strategy to suppress precipitation through solvation-shell engineering.

A recent study by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics has precisely measured the quantum‑state populations in collisions between highly charged nitrogen ions and helium atoms, shedding new light on the key atomic processes underlying solar coronal mass ejections.

A research team from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with international collaborators, has revealed that tensor interactions generate high‑momentum nucleons in the nucleus — as evidenced by a sharp rise in the positive‑ to negative‑parity cross‑section ratio and a distinct peak at about 2 fm⁻¹ in oxygen‑15, matching theoretical predictions.

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that soil microorganisms living in different-sized soil aggregates adopt contrasting strategies to cope with increasing nitrogen inputs, shedding new light on how microbial communities regulate carbon and nitrogen cycling in grassland ecosystems.

Scientists from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory have obtained phase-connected timing solutions for two newly discovered binary pulsars, PSR J1929+4105 and PSR J2359+4239. While both pulsars now reside in similar configurations, they follow different evolutionary pathways that led them to these nearly identical destinations.

The surface of the massive, metal-rich asteroid Psyche—which orbits the Sun in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter—may harbor a large amount of low-iron pyroxene, according to a recent study led by the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Researchers from Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have carried out the first statistical search for millimeter continuum variability in massive protoclusters using multi-epoch observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The team identified five variable sources and established the first statistical constraints on millimeter variability in these environments.

Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made an important advance in the atomic-scale prediction of protein–protein interactions by developing Void-X, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model that designs protein interfaces from the bottom up.

Termination shocks could be the origin of ground-level enhancement events, according to a new study by researchers at the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

A research team led by Prof. GAO Peng from the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter of the Chinese Academy of Sciences proposed an innovative molecular design strategy based on cyclohexadienone spiro molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and unique dual-fluorescence performance.

Researchers from the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology revealed that the Ontong Java Plateau in the western Pacific Ocean, known as the largest oceanic plateau on Earth, may have been formed by a thermochemical plume.

In a recent study, scientists from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography have developed a roadmap to harness extremophytes—plants that thrive in multi-stress desert environments—for designing climate-resilient crops for arid lands and promoting sustainable agriculture practices.

A research group led by Associate Prof. WU Nan and Prof. XIA Xiaoqin from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the sex-dimorphic immune-metabolic regulation controlled by foxp3a across the gut-liver-gonad axis in zebrafish.

A recent study by the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered how rumen ciliates modulate methane emissions in ruminants and identified a previously unknown single-membrane hydrogen-producing organelle that plays a key role in this mechanism.

Rresearchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden have uncovered the molecular and physiological mechanisms behind cold sensitivity in a specialized rice line derived from common wild rice. Their findings provide insight into how different plant organs (leaves and roots) respond to low-temperature stress, offering potential pathways for breeding more resilient rice varieties.

A team led by Prof. JIANG Changlong from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a copper-doped cobalt aluminum layered double oxide (CoAlCu-LDO) nanozyme with a two-dimensional hexagonal ultrathin nanosheet structure, enabling highly sensitive detection of multiple biomarkers in sweat.
