Recently, a team led by Professor Weifeng Zhang and Peng Ning from the College of Resources and Environmental Sciences at China Agricultural University proposed a sustainable production pathway to achieve an annual yield of 22.5 t·ha–1 in the winter wheat-summer maize rotation system on the North China Plain, providing a scientific reference for solving this problem. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025618).
Xusheng Meng and colleagues from Nanjing Agricultural University proposed a green, high-yield, and high-efficiency rice technology system in a review study, providing a solution to this problem. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025636).
Recently, a research team led by Professor Zhaohui Wang from the College of Natural Resources and Environment at Northwest A&F University proposed a technical framework for green wheat production and a regionally adapted model, providing ideas to solve this problem. The related paper has been published in Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering (DOI: 10.15302/J-FASE-2025606).
New research has found that households with solar panels could boost their returns by selling surplus power directly to their neighbours, known as peer-to-peer (P2P) energy sharing, helping to stabilise the electricity grid and negotiating a better price than retailers currently offer.
Scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, working in collaboration with a team from the University of Texas at El Paso, have developed a novel computational framework for understanding how a region of the brain known as the striatum is involved in the everyday decisions we make and, importantly, how it might factor into impaired decision-making by individuals with psychiatric disorders like post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorder.
