Reusable Experimental Spacecraft Lands as Pre-designed

China's reusable experimental spacecraft returned to its scheduled landing site on September 6, after 268 days of in-orbit operation. This successful reusable technology paves the way for more convenient and affordable round-trip methods for the peaceful use of space in the future.

1st Atlas of Remote-sensing Infrared Images Released

The International Research Center of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals in Beijing has released the world's first atlas of remote-sensing thermal infrared images, providing valuable data support for sustainable development research.

Scientists Decode Marine Microorganism 'Genetic Trove'

A team of scientists from China, the U.K., and Denmark has constructed a comprehensive global marine microbiome database, demonstrating the potential of marine microorganisms for marine science research and biotechnological and biomedical applications. More than 20,000 of these genomes were identified as potential novel species.

Breakthrough in Creating Blood Stem Cells for Transplant

Australian researchers have created lab-grown blood stem cells that closely resemble those in the human body in a world-first, according to a team from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne. This paves the way for treating children with leukemia and bone marrow failure disorders with lab-grown cells.

Researchers Identify High-protein Rice Genes

Using genetics and artificial intelligence classification methods, a team of researchers at the Philippines-headquartered International Rice Research Institute has identified a superior set of lines that exhibited ultra-low glycemic index (below 45 percent) with an unprecedented protein level (15.99), which is twice the content usually found in conventional milled rice.
