"Everything we do, and everything all animals do, requires energy. That makes energy a unifying currency," John Speakman, a researcher with Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) said at the Recent Advances & Controversies in the Measurement of Energy Metabolism (RACMEM) conference.
Renowned physicist and Nobel laureate Chen Ning Yang passed away in Beijing on Saturday at the age of 103. Yang was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, together with Tsung-Dao Lee, for proposing the revolutionary concept of parity nonconservation in weak interactions. Their work made them the first Chinese-born scientists to receive the Nobel Prize.
Research led by Chinese scientists has recently revealed that subtle changes in ocean sulfate concentration can alter the way methane is consumed, acting like a "chemical switch" that regulates global climate, explaining how the Arctic Ocean amplified global warming 56 million years ago. The team led by Zhang Yige, a researcher with the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with its international collaborative team, published the findings in international academic journal Nature Geoscience on Sept 23.
A newly published study has helped advance the understanding of the internal key physiological mechanisms of dryland shrub decline, according to the Northwest Institute of Eco-environment and Resources (NIEER) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
For nearly 10 years, Tajik geologist Dzhovid Yogibekov has made his life in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, where his studies have grown into a deep connection with local society. Xinjiang, which borders Tajikistan, is easily accessible from his home country. Yogibekov said he could reach Tajikistan in just a few hours via the Karasu Port in Kashgar, which makes it more convenient for him to study in the region.
After her neuroimaging research at Germany's Max Planck Institute, Dr. LI Juan chose to join the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – drawn by its global reputation and the synergy between her work and NIMTE's Nanobiomaterials Group. She collaborates with a vibrant team, pioneering novel biomaterials and smart biomedical probes for the precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
Last year, Chen Liquan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was awarded the CAS Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award, a recognition for a lifetime of groundbreaking contributions. From developing China's first all-solid-state lithium metal battery to mentoring a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, Chen's work has been instrumental in transforming China from a follower to a global leader in battery technology.
