Chinese Researchers Complete 1st Wheat Genome Map
Chinese researchers have completed the world's first telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of hexaploid wheat. The breakthrough, led by the Peking University Institute of Advanced Agricultural Sciences, will help scientists identify key genes related to yield, quality, and disease resistance more precisely.
1st Cross-Region Hydrogen Truck Route Launched
China's Sinopec Group has launched the country's first cross-regional hydrogen-heavy-duty truck route, stretching 1,150 km from southwest China's Chongqing to the Qinzhou Port in south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
Global Clean Electricity Share Hits Record 40.9%
Global clean power reached 40.9 percent of electricity generation in 2024 — the highest since the 1940s —driven largely by solar energy. In Ember's Global Electricity Review 2025, analysts noted that China contributed 53 percent of the global solar power increase.
KATRIN Experiment Sets Tightest Limit on Neutrino Mass
Germany's KATRIN experiment team has narrowed the most stringent laboratory-based upper limit on effective electron neutrino mass, placing it at < 0.45 eV with a 90 percent confidence level. The findings were detailed in the journal Science and released by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
