The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is at the forefront of China's effort to explore and harness advanced technology and natural sciences for the betterment of humanity. In honor of the founding of CAS and the People's Republic of China 75 years ago, we present 75 milestones of innovation that have marked CAS's magnificent history as China's science and technology leader.
For the past decade, scientists of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made remarkable achievements through thick and thin, forging ahead and exploring into the unknown.
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) has completed its innermost acrylic sphere and is assembling the outer stainless steel structure and photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), meaning that the JUNO construction has entered its final stage. All installation tasks are expected to be completed by the end of this November.
Physicists from the STAR Collaboration have observed a new antimatter hypernucleus, antihyperhydrogen-4, for the first time. This is the heaviest antimatter hypernucleus discovered in experiments to date. This study, led by researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was published in Nature on Aug. 21.
On March 2, 2022, the Chinese Academy of Sciences released its strategic action plan to support scientific and technological efforts toward China's carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
Recent joint research led by Professor AN Zhisheng from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the pivotal role of the growth of the Antarctic ice sheet and associated Southern Hemisphere sea ice expansion in triggering the mid-Pleistocene climate transition (MPT). It has also shown how asymmetric polar ice sheet evolution affects global climate.
