Physicists observe rare nuclear isomer in ytterbium-150 for first time, advancing nuclear structure research

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics have observed an isomer in the rare, extremely neutron-deficient nucleus of ytterbium-150 for the first time, leading to the identification of a unique "isomeric relay" mechanism that advances our understanding of nuclear structure.

Study finds function–evolution trade-off in urban park soil microbes

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research team from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made a systematic comparison of soil microbiomes in urban parks and natural forests. The results reveal that urbanization profoundly reconfigures microbial community composition, functional capacity, and evolutionary trajectories, based on.

Diatom-based microrobots show promise for targeted photodynamic therapy of glioblastoma

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from the Shenyang Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed magnetically controlled microrobots made from diatoms for the treatment of glioblastoma using photodynamic therapy. These microrobots exhibit excellent magnetic responsiveness and programmable motion capabilities, enabling them to precisely target and navigate to glioblastoma lesion areas.

Researchers develop a biomimetic platform to enhance CAR T cell therapy against leukemia

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a biomimetic platform that significantly enhances CAR T cell therapy for relapsed and refractory leukemia without requiring any genetic modification of CAR T cells.

New study reveals asynchronous land–ocean responses to ancient ocean anoxia

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research team led by Prof. XU Yigang from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Prof. DENG Chenglong from the CAS Institute of Geology and Geophysics conducted a study of the Yanshan Scientific Drilling Project (YSDP-4) drill core, with a drill depth of 1497.5 meters. The core was recovered from the lacustrine Jiufotang Formation in northeastern China.

Tibet ASγ experiment sheds new light on cosmic rays acceleration and propagation in Milky Way

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The Tibet ASγ Experiment has successfully, for the first time, measured magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence on scales below one parsec (approximately 3.3 light-years) within the gamma-ray halo surrounding the Geminga pulsar wind nebula (PWN). This observation extends to the highest energies, above 100 tera-electron volts (TeV), providing new insights into the behavior of cosmic rays and magnetic fields within the Milky Way.

Researchers develop novel Alzheimer's treatment to sidestep immune side effects

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team led by researchers from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel therapeutic strategy termed synthetic peptide-programmed lysosome-targeting chimeras (SPYTACs).

Oldest known bony fish fossils uncover early vertebrate evolution

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research team led by Profs. ZHU Min, LU Jing, and ZHU You'an from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published two backtoback cover stories in the journal Nature on March 4, reporting new discoveries about the origin of bony fishes.

New study reveals low-smoke solid fuels pose hidden public health risks via elevated ultrafine particle emissions

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study led by researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IEECAS) and international collaborators has revealed that low-smoke solid fuels cause a two- to three-fold increase in the number of UFPs emitted, even as the total mass of particulate emissions has been reduced.
