Near Earth asteroids are small bodies whose orbits cross or come close to Earth, making them key tracers of Solar System formation and evolution as well as potential impact hazards for our planet.
An international team led by researchers at the Purple Mountain Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has completed a one year observing campaign to better classify these objects. From Octobe

New research from Australian and Chinese scientists is filling key gaps in the evolutionary story of some of the oldest fishes on Earth, including early lungfishes closely related to land vertebrates.
In two separate studies, researchers have re-examined fossil material from the Late Devonian Gogo Formation in Western Australia and described a new lungfish species from 410 million-year-old
