Self-Glimmering Plants Cultivated by Magicpen Bio - China

A researcher prepares to transfer a tray of self-glimmering plants into a dark room for observation at the laboratory of Magicpen Bio in Hefei, east China's Anhui Province, December 3, 2025. Chinese researchers have successfully cultivated a number of gene-edited plants that steadily glimmer in dark environments. They managed to introduce gene fragments from organisms such as fireflies into plant cells, allowing the latter to glimmer by themselves. Photo by Xinhua/Zhang Duan/ABACAPRESS.COM

The Oldest Short-Tailed Bird Fossil Discovered - China

The Oldest Short-Tailed Bird Fossil Discovered - China

Wang Min, a researcher with the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), works at his office at IVPP in Beijing, capital of China, on February 10, 2025. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought. The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known. The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature, on February 11, 2025, in B
