A new study by IAP scientists reports two consecutive images, each representing 1/380-thousandth of a second, illuminating how downward-questing lightning fingers from a lightning cloud, called lightning leaders, and upward reaching leaders from the ground, make the final jump to meet in a lightning flash.
More than one-third of hundreds of 25-square-km and above lakes in the world have become clearer over the past 20 years, according to a new study published online in the journal Scientific Data. The study was based on remote sensing satellite images and conducted by scientists from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
China will facilitate international cooperation on ecological protection and preservation by promoting basic research, training quality talent and expanding scientific outreach and education, experts said. A key player in those efforts is the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
A research project initiated by the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, involving astronomers from China, the United States and Chile, has discovered the earliest protocluster known to date in the Universe, the university announced on Tuesday.
Dr. Dambaru Ballab Kattel is an associate professor at the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research (ITPCAS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His work focuses on mountain climate system as well as climate change adaptation for local communities in the Third Pole region. Just recently, Dr. Dambaru Ballab Kattel was invited to participate in the symposium held by Premier Li Keqiang for representatives of foreign experts working in China, before the Spring Festival, or the Chinese New Year.
Over the last five years, I witnessed the growth of China particularly in science and technology. Fully equipped labs and large research funds provided an opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research. I also got the chance to attend international conferences in the field. At my working unit, everyone was welcoming. I was the first CAS-PIFI candidate who joined this institute. Later, many other Asian and European people joined; some completed their work and some are still working.
I am honored to have the CAS President's International Fellowship for Special Experts, which offers unique possibilities for foreign scientists to establish and foster collaboration with their colleagues in Chinese research institutions, and in my particular case it was of central importance for establishing first contacts during short visits to finally realize long-term research collaboration.
