China's first helicopter airborne magnetotelluric detection system has been successfully applied to a plateau railway construction project, the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) said on Tuesday. Researchers have used the system to conduct geological surveys of high-altitude regions with extremely cold temperatures, complex terrain and harsh environments, providing critical data support for the project.
Chinese scientists have identified a new species of Early Jurassic sauropod dinosaur, named Xingxiulong yueorum, based on a fossilized skeleton discovered in the country's southwestern Yunnan Province. The dinosaur's fossil specimen was initially discovered in 2015 in Lufeng City. It is a well-preserved skeleton located posterior to the head, extending from the second dorsal vertebra to the twentieth caudal vertebra, along with the left scapula and nearly complete girdle and hind limbs.
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, Zhejiang University, and Ocean University of China identified a new fish species, named Mononoke tilefish (Branchiostegus sanae), in the continental slope area between Hainan Island and Xisha Qundao at a depth of about 200 meters. The findings were published Wednesday in the international taxonomic journal Zookeys.
Researchers from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have utilized metal corrosion to prepare high-performance electrodes, enabling efficient and cost-effective upgrading of biomass, according to a research article published in journal Chem Catalysis on Monday.
While the majority of Chinese botanists have directed their research efforts toward studying the rich flora of China, a select few have ventured into the unexplored realms of African flora. Wang Shengwei at the Wuhan Botanical Garden stands out as one of these explorers. He delves deep into the intricate tapestry of African plant diversity and distribution. Over the years, he has traveled to African countries many times.
Seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China, as an Arabic old saying goes. For Osama Abdalla Abdelshafy Mohamed, an Egyptian young scientist, his journey in China has not only been about knowledge-seeking but also life-rewarding, reflecting the flourishing talent exchanges between China and Egypt. He has been working at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG), the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for almost 10 years, and calls Xinjiang his second home.
In an office drawer of Chinese scientist Wei Yuansong lies a thank-you letter written in Sinhalese and signed off by an entire Sri Lankan village. The letter, having passed through many hands and franked in various locations, tells shared memories of a decade-long fight against a killer kidney disease that had plagued the locals for years due to a lack of safe drinking water.
