Researchers from China's Harbin Institute of Technology have proposed a system for wirelessly powering lunar rovers using laser beams transmitted from solar-powered stations on sunlit peaks. The strategy, detailed in the Journal of Deep Space Exploration, aims to overcome limitations of cables and batteries for future lunar exploration.
Chinese scientists have identified an active fault line, the Paizhen Fault, directly beneath the Yarlung Tsangpo dam construction zone. This discovery, published in a Chinese journal, raises concerns for India about water security and ecological damage due to potential structural instability of the world's largest hydropower project.
Chinese geologists warn that the Yarlung Tsangpo mega dam project in Tibet is built above an active fault line, raising concerns about landslides, earthquakes, and structural instability, with potential implications for India and Bangladesh.
Chen Liquan and Ben De received China's highest science award for developing the nation's first lithium battery and advanced fighter jet radar systems, respectively. Their achievements underscore China's push for technological self-sufficiency in critical sectors like electric vehicles and defense.
A drought-resistant moss species, Syntrichia caninervis, was successfully revived after enduring extreme space conditions including microgravity, radiation, and dehydration. Chinese scientists believe this demonstrates its potential for extraterrestrial colonization and ecological improvement in off-Earth settlements.
Former US Attorney Robert Fisher stated the US is in an "era of China Initiative 2.0," observing a significant rise in federal and state investigations targeting China-linked researchers, scientists, and professors, though many cases have not yet led to indictments.
A new rechargeable solid-state battery developed by a Tsinghua University-led team operates stably up to 150°C and can withstand thermal shocks up to 300°C. Its safety, small size, and high energy density make it suitable for next-generation technologies.
Researchers in China have developed plants that glow autonomously using biotechnology and material sciences. One method integrates fungal bioluminescence pathways into plant cells, while another uses phosphors in succulents to emit stored light, potentially offering sustainable lighting solutions for urban environments.
Chinese scientists have identified significant differences in vaginal microbiomes between American and Chinese women. A bacterium linked to bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth is more prevalent and virulent in American women, highlighting the need for localized treatments and advancing global microbiome research.
Chinese defense scientists have published a step-by-step guide on how to destroy a US carrier group from 3,000km away. The research, led by associate professor Gao Tianyun and published in Tactical Missile Technology, details how to target US Navy ships operating near China.
A Chinese study published in Nature Genetics found differences in vaginal microbiomes between American and Chinese women, noting higher prevalence and virulence of a bacterium linked to bacterial vaginosis and preterm birth in American women, emphasizing the need for localized treatments and filling a knowledge gap for Asian populations.
Chinese scientists have developed a novel symbiotic electronic bandage (GEB) that uses excess glucose in diabetic wounds to generate electricity, promoting healing without external power. This innovation offers a self-powered, biodegradable treatment strategy for chronic wounds in diabetic patients.
Genetically modified cotton shows 23.8% yield increase and improved resistance to Verticillium wilt, a devastating fungal disease.
Chinese scientists have identified a previously overlooked small peptide gene, dubbed a "heroic" gene, that plays a crucial role in helping crops withstand cold damage. This breakthrough, achieved through eight years of research, utilizes gene editing and AI to enhance crop resilience and safeguard food security against climate change.
Chinese 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.
Nankai University and Sun Yat-sen University in China have removed deans and deputy directors due to scientific misconduct, including data and image errors in published papers.
Prominent Chinese scientists, including professors and deans, are facing accusations of publishing fraudulent papers in prestigious Nature journals. These allegations, spreading rapidly on social media, challenge the credibility of elite scientific publications and their role in academic advancement in China.
The Philippines reported spotting the Chinese-flagged research vessel Xiang Yang Hong 33 near a reef, escorted by two coastguard ships. A spokesperson stated Chinese personnel were observed conducting illegal activities, violating Philippine sovereignty and international law.
