China shifts focus to basic research, aiming to transition from an industrial to a scientific civilisation, challenging the US's generative innovation system.
ScienceAIChinese 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.
ScienceAI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。
ScienceAI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。
ScienceAISCMP 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.
ScienceAIScientists 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.
ScienceAIA 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.
