A groundbreaking study by Chinese researchers reveals that mangrove tree stems emit approximately 730.6 gigagrams of methane annually, offsetting 16.9% of the carbon sequestered in sediments. This discovery, published in Nature Geoscience, forces a recalculation of the true climate value of these "blue carbon" ecosystems.

Billions of ghostly neutrinos from deep space pass through you every second. Discover how Chinese scientists are building a colossal observatory at the bottom of the South China Sea to catch them. A revolutionary device called the "Spider" has just passed a critical test, bringing us closer to unlocking the universe's most energetic mysteries.
