Ancient Brachiopods Used Tiny Bristles to Maintain "Social Distancing," Study Reveals

Researchers in China have uncovered the first direct evidence: Approximately 436-million-year-old brachiopods from the early Silurian period used tiny, bristle-like structures called setae to maintain orderly, "checkerboard" spacing—ensuring they had enough room to thrive on the ancient seafloor.

Deep Life's Survival Secret: Crustal Faulting Generates Key Energy Sources, Study Shows

Chinese researchers have recently challenged the long-held belief that "all life depends on sunlight." In a new study, the researchers identified how microbes in deep subsurface areas can derive energy from chemical reactions driven by crustal faulting, offering critical insights into life deep below Earth's surface.

Scientists Create the Most Detailed 3D Map of a Mouse Brain

Scientists have created the most detailed 3D map of a mouse brain ever produced, a milestone that could revolutionize research on brain disorders, neural circuits, and even future surgical precision. The study, published in the prestigious journal Nature on Tuesday, offers a resolution so sharp that it can pinpoint structures as tiny as 1 micrometer — about one-fiftieth the width of a human hair.

China's Tianwen-3 Mars sample-return mission targeted for 2031

China aims to launch the Tianwen-3 Mars mission by 2028, with sample return targeted for 2031, according to chief scientist Hou Zengqian. Unlike Tianwen-1, which used a rover, this mission will deploy a drone for collecting samples remotely, minimizing contamination risks from the probe's landing.

China Makes Major Progress in Building World's Highest Solar Observatory

Construction of supporting infrastructure for a cutting-edge solar telescope began Tuesday in Daocheng County in southwest China's Sichuan Province, marking a significant step toward a new era of high-resolution solar observation. The 2.5-meter Wide-field and High-resolution Solar Telescope (WeHoST), a national research instrumentation project, is led by Nanjing University in collaboration with the Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology and the Yunnan Observatories, both under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
