A research team led by Prof. JIANG Ling and Prof. LI Gang from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed distinct roles of NO_x (NO₂ and NO), as well as their synergistic interactions with sulfur dioxide (SO₂), in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation during β-myrcene photooxidation.

A research team from the Stable High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF) at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by CAS Member XIE Yi and Professor ZHANG Xiaodong, proposed a surface halogen (Cl, Br, and I) passivation strategy to significantly improve the stability of photocatalysts.

A research team led by Prof. SHENG Zhigao at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully manipulated the structure and microwave absorption of CoxSe nanosheets by synthesizing them under a high magnetic field (HMF).

A team of Chinese astronomers has discovered that the Milky Way’s dark matter halo stands upright, suggesting that our galaxy’s disk may have flipped in the past few billion years due to cosmic interactions.

For the first time, researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Theoretical Physics of CAS, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have introduced a metal-based cooling strategy that does not rely on the globally scarce isotope helium-3. It is expected to provide a self-sufficient, controllable "super refrigerator" that is critical for advancing frontier quantum technologies.

The strontium optical lattice clock NTSC-Sr2, developed by the National Time Service Center was used as a secondary representation of the second to calibrate International Atomic Time (TAI), marking the first time that an optical clock from China has contributed to steering TAI.

Recently, researchers from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with the State Key Laboratory of Semiconductor Physics and Chip Technologies at the Institute of Semiconductors, CAS, revealed anomalous oscillatory magnetoresistance in an antiferromagnetic kagome semimetal heterostructure and directly identified its corresponding topological magnetic structures.

China has achieved a 35.6 tesla all-superconducting magnet in an experiment facility, setting a new record, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) said on Tuesday. The all-superconducting magnet, with a central magnetic field of 35.6 tesla and a usable aperture of 35 millimeters was conducted with the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility. It is a user magnet designed to support domestic and international research teams in conducting cutting-edge studies.

Deep-sea cold seeps are key channels for seafloor methane, but quantifying their emissions has been challenging, creating uncertainties in the global ocean methane budget. To fill this knowledge gap, a research team from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) has found that methane emissions from South China Sea cold seeps far exceed previous estimates, providing important scientific evidence for the accounting of oceanic greenhouse gas sources and sinks.

Through studying the observation data of China's gigantic radio telescope located in the country's southwestern Guizhou Province, an international research team has uncovered compelling new evidence supporting a binary-system origin for at least some fast radio bursts (FRBs), one of the most enigmatic phenomena in modern astrophysics.
