🌟 We've discovered that young massive stars near the Galactic Center grow through a disk-fed process, even under some of the most extreme conditions in the Milky Way. The findings suggest that the fundamental process of star formation is remarkably universal across different environments in our Galaxy.

🌍🚀 Meet the "Space Eye" aboard China's space station The Multi-Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory (MUSICO), also known as the Tianyun Camera, was launched aboard Tianzhou-10 last month. Designed to detect CO₂ and CH₄ from orbit, MUSICO enables high-resolution monitoring of greenhouse gases across low- and mid-latitude regions worldwide, helping to pinpoint major emission sources. It was jointly developed by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, in collaboration with the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. A new step forward for space-based climate science. #CAS #ChinaSpaceStation #HKUST #Tianzhou #SpaceResearch #EarthObservation

Congrats to researchers at @NJU1902 on a new exoplanet study using data from LAMOST, Gaia and Kepler. 🌍 Super-Earths show signs of a turbulent past shaped by collisions and stellar tides. 🪐 Mini-Neptunes appear to have evolved in calmer systems shaped by gentle gravitational interactions. 🔭 Different worlds. Different histories. #Exoplanets #Astronomy #SpaceScience #LAMOST #GaiaMission #Kepler #PlanetaryScience

What can ~59 days of data reveal about the universe? The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) has reported the most precise measurements of neutrino oscillations ever achieved. The results bring scientists closer to understanding the mass and nature of one of the universe's most elusive particles—and may even reveal new physics. #CAS #JUNO #Neutrino #ParticlePhysics #NeutrinoOscillations #Universe

Congratulations to Prof. MA Keping on his election as Chair of the Bureau of the International Coordinating Council of UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme for the 2026–2028 term. A leading biodiversity scientist, Prof. MA helped shape the Hangzhou Strategic Action Plan (2026–2035), a roadmap for the future of the MAB Programme and the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Together, through science and international collaboration, we can protect biodiversity, strengthen ecosystem resilience, and build a more sustainable future for people and nature. 🌿🤝 #Biodiversity #UNESCO #MAB #BiosphereReserves #Sustainability #GlobalCooperation

✨ Nature's tiny lanterns at work. Fireflies illuminate the tropical night in Xishuangbanna. #CAS #XTBG #Fireflies #NatureLovers #Biodiversity #Rainforest #Xishuangbanna

✨ Thousands of tiny lights. One tropical rainforest. For a few weeks each year, the forests of Xishuangbanna glow with the gentle flashes of fireflies. Each pulse of light is a signal—part of an ancient language used to find a mate in the darkness. If you're lucky enough to see them, keep lights off, stay quiet, and let these tiny lanterns light the night. #CAS #XTBG #Fireflies #NatureLovers #Biodiversity #Rainforest #Xishuangbanna

"Knock knock, sample delivery!" 🤖🔬 You've seen Aeye-1 at work. Now follow the conversation. We've added text dialogue to this demonstration, offering a fun new way to explore how the AI-driven transmission electron microscope system autonomously retrieves, transfers, and replaces samples. 🤖🔬 #CAS #AI #Microscopy #ElectronMicroscopy #TEM #AIForScience #MaterialsScience

Hot water freezes faster than cold!? Glass does it too! We've observed a similar phenomenon in glass: samples starting from a higher-energy state can age faster than those starting from a lower-energy state.

🌺 A rare Amorphophallus gigashas bloomed in China for the first time. Native to Sumatra, this 2.5-meter giant flower smells like rotting meat and even produces heat to attract pollinating insects. The bloom was recorded at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden. 🌿 #CAS #GiantFlower #CorpseFlower #Sumatra #Rainforest #Biodiversity #NatureWonder

🧬 What if we could build a living cell from scratch? Together with scientists from 100 laboratories across six Asian countries, we have unveiled Asia's first 10-year roadmap for synthetic cells.
