A joint effort using LAMOST and Gaia has uncovered hundreds of high velocity stars, shedding light on the Milky Way’s formation and future discoveries. A research team, led by astronomers from National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), has discovered 591 high velocity...

Magnetic reconnection was observed to intensify due to disturbances from an adjacent solar filament eruption. This acceleration resulted in greater energy release and clearer reconnection signatures in both visible and ultraviolet wavelengths. Magnetic reconnection refers to the reconfiguration of m...

A published scientific paper entitled “Remotely Mind-controlled Metasurface via Brainwaves” advances the first step towards real-time, remote, and wireless mind control of metamaterials. When you think of telekinesis, using your mind to move objects at a distance, you think of pure ficti...

New fossil findings reveal that the human middle ear evolved from fish spiracles, illustrating a critical step in vertebrate evolution. The human middle ear—which houses three tiny, vibrating bones—is key to transporting sound vibrations into the inner ear, where they become nerve impulses that allo...

A new PROTAC-based influenza vaccine uses the host’s protein degradation system to elicit strong immune responses. The approach may apply to other pathogens. Using attenuated, live viruses as vaccines is a promising strategy to reduce the impact of viral infectious diseases, such as influenza....

The Chang’e-5 mission’s analysis of lunar regolith unveiled diverse exotic clasts, shedding light on the Moon’s previously unknown geological and magmatic diversity. Chang’e-5 is a Chinese lunar exploration mission with the goal of collecting and returning samples from the Moon. It was launche...
