An international research team led by scientists from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered an exceptionally preserved phosphatic stromatoporoid sponge from the Early Ordovician, dating back about 480 million years, in Yuan’an, Yichang, South China.
A research team from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) utilized a Stepwise Feed-Forward Neural Network (Stepwise FFNN) algorithm. They integrated observational data from the Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP) to create a global monthly 3D gridded pH dataset spanning the past 30 years.
A research team led by Prof. LUAN Fubo from the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has uncovered a novel mechanism involving a ternary surface complex on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) that improves the simultaneous removal of arsenic (As) and uranium (U) from contaminated groundwater.
A recent study conducted by researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology reveals that adding nitrogen to temperate grasslands disrupts the natural balance between nitrogen and phosphorus in plants, with root systems showing a notably stronger response than aboveground organs.
A breakthrough study using ground-penetrating radar has identified the optimal planting density for Mongolia pine plantations in China's arid regions, offering a science-backed solution to combat tree die-offs threatening anti-desertification efforts.
Scientists have long sought to determine the age of the Moon's South Pole–Aitken (SPA) basin, the largest and oldest known impact crater on the lunar surface. Recently, a research team led by Prof. CHEN Yi from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has dated the formation of the basin to 4.25 billion years ago by analyzing the first-ever rock samples returned from the SPA basin by China's Chang'e-6 mission.
