秦岭鼠兔是中国特有物种,具有短耳、无尾及四肢短小等典型鼠兔形态特征,栖息于海拔2000米以上的山地灌丛、草甸及裸岩环境,以草本植物为食,昼行性活动,并储存食物越冬。
神农架是全球白化动物出现最多的地区之一。近年来,当地不断强化生态保护力度,采取积极、科学、有效的措施,保护和完善多类型生态系统,提升生物多样性指数。7月,工作人员在神农架天燕景区拍到一只白变秦岭鼠兔。8月,当地村民发现一只白化亚洲黑熊,引发广泛关注。

Research by the German Space Center shows that Mercury continues to shrink due to internal cooling, and the actual shrinkage may be about 30% higher than past estimates. Researchers believe that impact debris on Mercury's surface masked wrinkles formed by some of the contraction, leading to past estimates of its diameter reduction.

A team from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a new carbon monitoring system for the next generation carbon satellite (TanSat-2), successfully distinguishing between accounting carbon sinks and anthropogenic carbon emissions in simulation observations, providing key technical support for global carbon cycle monitoring.

A UCLA-led study identifies a link between unusually high land surface temperatures on the Tibetan Plateau and record-breaking winter rainfall in California during the 2016-2017 and 2022-2023 seasons, which caused billions in damages and multiple deaths.

The asteroid with international number 470341 was officially named "Pan Jianwei Star" in recognition of Pan Jianwei, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for his pioneering contributions in the fields of quantum technology such as multi-particle entanglement and free-space quantum transmission.
A team of Chinese scientists proposed and developed a new method and new system for carbon monitoring and accounting for the next generation of carbon satellites. It successfully achieved differentiated accounting of carbon sinks and anthropogenic carbon emissions in simulated observations. The relevant results were recently published in "Progress in Atmospheric Science".
Nanshan Academic Season·2026 Nanshan Science Popularization Conference opened in Guangzhou on September 11. Academician Zhong Nanshan proposed "six high-quality science popularization standards" and advocated the integration of scientific research and clinical science popularization. A series of new science popularization books were released at the conference, public welfare projects for science popularization benefiting the people were launched, and theme sharing was carried out.
