A research team from the Institute of Metal Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences has achieved a breakthrough in solid-state lithium battery technology – developing a flexible battery capable of enduring up to 20,000 bends. The innovation offers a new solution to long-standing challenges such as high interfacial resistance and low ion transport efficiency in solid-state batteries.
The Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak (BEST), a compact fusion experiment device under construction in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, has reached a major milestone with the successful installation of its first key component, the Dewar base, marking progress toward the world's first electricity generation from fusion power.
Chinese scientists have revealed the impact of hydrological changes of soil carbon components in the alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, according to the Northwest Institute of Eco-environment and Resources (NIEER) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The shifts in marine sulfate concentrations can flip the way that methane is consumed on the seafloor, acting as a geochemical switch that modulates Earth's climate, according to a research article published in the journal Nature Geoscience. The researchers of the study, from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry (GIG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), warned that a similar switch may emerge again as the modern Arctic Ocean warms and freshens at an accelerating pace.
For nearly 10 years, Tajik geologist Dzhovid Yogibekov has made his life in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, where his studies have grown into a deep connection with local society. Xinjiang, which borders Tajikistan, is easily accessible from his home country. Yogibekov said he could reach Tajikistan in just a few hours via the Karasu Port in Kashgar, which makes it more convenient for him to study in the region.
After her neuroimaging research at Germany's Max Planck Institute, Dr. LI Juan chose to join the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – drawn by its global reputation and the synergy between her work and NIMTE's Nanobiomaterials Group. She collaborates with a vibrant team, pioneering novel biomaterials and smart biomedical probes for the precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
Last year, Chen Liquan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was awarded the CAS Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award, a recognition for a lifetime of groundbreaking contributions. From developing China's first all-solid-state lithium metal battery to mentoring a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, Chen's work has been instrumental in transforming China from a follower to a global leader in battery technology.
