Extracting the femtometer structure of strange baryons using the vacuum polarization effect
The BESIII collaboration recently reported a method useful for hyperon-antihyperon pairs of different types which exploits the cross section enhancement caused by the vacuum polarization at the J/ψ resonance, enabling a precise determination of the hyperon structure function. The result has been published in Nature Communications on October 11th, 2024 [Nat. Commun. 15, 8812 (2024)].

The BESIII Collaboration Discovered a Glueball-like Particle – X(2370)
The Beijing Electron Positron Collider II (BEPCII) has recently made a significant achievement. The BESIII experiment at BEPCII performed the first measurements of the quantum numbers of the X(2370) particle, along with its mass, production, and decay properties, and found that they are consistent with the features of a glueball, which has long been the subject of intensive experimental searches. This important result was published in the journal of Physical Review Letters on May 2nd as an Editor’s Suggestion.
Observation of structures in the processes e+e-→ωχc1 and ωχc2
The BESIII collaboration recently reported the observation of two resonance structures in the processes e+e-→ωχc1 and e+e-→ωχc2. One structure is likely to be the well-established resonance ψ(4415), and another is observed for the first time. The results have been published in Physics Review Letters on April 19, 2024 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 161901 (2024)].
