The Nation’s first reusable and returnable satellite, Shijian-19,was successfully retrieved and returned to Earth after conducting multiple space experiments in Low Earth Orbit. Among the payloads was an in-orbit material experiment testbed developed by The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), which is Hong Kong’s first reusable experimental payload to return from space. The China National Space Administration held the payloads handover ceremony for the Shijian-19 satellite in Beijing last Thursday (24 October), marking the successful completion of the satellite’s return mission.

Recently, the research team led by Professor WU Yuejin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered the RGL2 gene, which influenced rice grain length by regulating cell proliferation, providing new genetic resources for high-yield breeding of rice. 

The CMA-TRAMS team conducted an assimilation forecast experiment with observations that targeted Typhoon Haikui,  The data comes from the operational sounding systems called “Beidou", combined with the data from the new-generation HAIYAN-I UAV. The results showed that, with the new assimilated data, the forecast landing point of Haiku was significantly closer to reality.

Scientists have constructed the first complete proton energy spectrum observed during an eruptive solar event in Martian space, deepening our understanding of the radiation environment around Mars.

A new study published in Molecular Biomedicine uncovers how post-translational modifications (PTMs) of fibrinogen—a key blood plasma protein—affect clot formation, structure, and degradation. The research provides critical insights into thrombosis-related disorders, highlighting potential therapeutic targets for cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

A recent study published in Molecular Biomedicine has revealed the promising therapeutic potential of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) derived from metastatic lymph nodes in treating advanced cervical cancer. Conducted by researchers from the Biotherapy Center and Cancer Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Grit Biotechnology in Shanghai, the study provides crucial insights into personalized immunotherapy for patients with refractory solid cancers.

Researchers have developed a chitosan-carboxymethyl cellulose aerogel that not only remediates tannery wastewater rich in chromium, aluminum, and zirconium but also repurifies the adsorbent for use in leather re-tanning processes.
