  • China Releases LangYa 2.0 AI Model for Full-blown Marine Phenomenon Forecasting
    Chinese scientists on Saturday rolled out LangYa 2.0, a major upgrade that moves beyond basic sea variables to predict complex marine phenomena including typhoons, extreme rainfall and storm surges.Members of the AI oceanography research team at the Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences are pictured while developing the LangYa 2.0 AI model in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, May 20, 2026.

  • Chinese Scientists Reveal How Deep-sea Supergiant Organism Survives Five Years Without Food
    Yet for the supergiant isopod, a distant relative of the common pill bug found in gardens with the size of a chunky tablet, this extreme fasting ability is simply an everyday strategy for surviving in one of the most food-starved habitats on Earth.This simulated image shows deep-sea isopods and their living environment. (Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences/Handout via Xinhua)It sounds like a creature from a sci-fi thriller: a deep-sea supergiant organism that can survive mo...
