China on Saturday launched the construction of a new large astronomical observation project, the Xue-shan-mu-chang 15-meter SubMillimeter Telescope (XSMT). Situated on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this project aims to enhance the country's capabilities in exploring the cold, hidden universe by establishing a high-precision facility that addresses a notable gap in its existing astronomical infrastructure.
Home to hundreds of Allium species, the Kunming Center of the China-Uzbekistan Global Allium Garden stands as a model of Sino-Uzbek cooperation in advancing global biodiversity conservation under the Belt and Road Initiative. A cooperation project of the Kunming Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, the garden is the world's first specialized garden dedicated to the collection, conservation and exhibition of Allium species.
Chinese scientists recently carried out the "Jimu-1" tethered balloon atmospheric observation experiment in Lulang, Nyingchi, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, which is expected to provide a new perspective for unraveling the mysteries of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ecosystem.
A team of Chinese scientists has developed the first hydride ion prototype battery, laying a solid foundation for China's green energy development. The team's findings were published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
For nearly 10 years, Tajik geologist Dzhovid Yogibekov has made his life in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, where his studies have grown into a deep connection with local society. Xinjiang, which borders Tajikistan, is easily accessible from his home country. Yogibekov said he could reach Tajikistan in just a few hours via the Karasu Port in Kashgar, which makes it more convenient for him to study in the region.
After her neuroimaging research at Germany's Max Planck Institute, Dr. LI Juan chose to join the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – drawn by its global reputation and the synergy between her work and NIMTE's Nanobiomaterials Group. She collaborates with a vibrant team, pioneering novel biomaterials and smart biomedical probes for the precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
Last year, Chen Liquan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was awarded the CAS Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award, a recognition for a lifetime of groundbreaking contributions. From developing China's first all-solid-state lithium metal battery to mentoring a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, Chen's work has been instrumental in transforming China from a follower to a global leader in battery technology.
