A research team led by Prof. WAN Yinhua at the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently developed an innovative mix-charged nanofiltration (NF) membrane featuring horizontal charge distribution, designed specifically for wastewater treatment. This novel membrane exhibits remarkable salt permeation and organic matter retention capabilities as well as antifouling properties, making it particularly effective for treating high-salinity organic wastewater.

In a recent study published in PNAS​, researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explored the regenerative mechanisms behind SCI repair. The study provides compelling evidence of the limited regenerative capacity of ependymal cells in adult primate spinal cord injury and underscores the transdifferentiation potential of astrocytes.

Chinese scientists proposed a novel imine-to-olefin transformation strategy to synthesize single-crystal sp² carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp²c-COFs).
