Researchers show impact of mountain building and climate change on alpine biodiversity

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, explored the impact of mountain building and climate cooling over 30 million years across five major mountain systems in the Northern Hemisphere and revealed that these processes are key drivers of the rich plant diversity found in the Earth's alpine biome.

Scientists discover how cell walls guide stem cells

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study led by Dr. YANG Weibing from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a hidden "molecular gatekeeper" that controls the stiffness of these walls, directly guiding the fate of plant stem cells.

Researchers develop new strategy to improve spray-coated perovskite device performance

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research team from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a confined crystallization strategy. This approach reconstructs—i.e., redesigns—the crystallization pathway during spray coating at its source through solvation structure regulation. Specifically, the team established a localized high-concentration (LHC) precursor system within individual spray droplets, enabling precise control over nucleation behavior during film formation.

Researchers develop new system for high-energy-density, long-life, multi-electron transfer bromine-based flow batteries

Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy Sciences
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research team led by Prof. LI Xianfeng from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) eveloped a novel bromine-based two-electron transfer reaction system to overcome key limitations of conventional zinc–bromine flow batteries. By introducing amine compounds as bromine scavengers, the team converts corrosive bromine (Br₂) into brominated amines, reducing Br₂ concentration to ultra-low levels (~7 mM). This enables a two-electron redox process that increases energy density while significantly lowering electrolyte corrosivity.
