علومAIChinese scientists have identified a small peptide gene (RGF) that acts like a "chivalrous" gene, remaining dormant until triggered by cold snaps during crop flowering. This discovery, published in Nature, offers a new strategy using gene editing and AI to enhance crop resilience against climate change-induced cold damage, potentially safeguarding global food security.
علومAI宝兴县邓池沟是世界首只大熊猫科学发现地。1869年法国人戴维发现黑白熊,后被定名为“猫熊”。1939年因标牌误读,“猫熊”逐渐演变为“熊猫”。学术界对大熊猫分类存在争议,目前认为其属熊科。
علومAI隨著NASA計劃在月球和火星建立永久基地,科學家正在研究太空繁殖的可行性。研究表明,微重力和輻射對精子、胚胎發育和懷孕構成重大挑戰,需要進一步研究以確保人類在太空的長期生存。
علومAISCMP highlights recent science reporting, including a Chinese archaeologist pleading guilty to corruption over a 5,000-year-old city discovery and doubts surrounding Elon Musk's Starship project.
علومAIScientists have successfully made sourdough bread using yeast cultivated from the 5,300-year-old mummy of 'Ice Man' Ötzi. The ancient yeast, found in Ötzi's gut, skin, and bodily fluids, survived in sub-zero temperatures and has potential applications in environmental detoxification.
A fossilized Koda wood tree, approximately 295 million years old, has been discovered in the suburbs of Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, China. One specimen is classified as a national second-class protected ancient fossil.
