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, meaning that the JUNO construction has entered its final stage.
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.
Recent joint research by scientists from the Institute of Earth Environment 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.
For the first time, a new study by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics has provided systematic observational evidence that human-induced climate change is making rainfall patterns more volatile globally. Published in the journal Science, the study shows a systematic increase in rainfall variability since the 1900s from global to regional scales and from daily to intraseasonal timescales.
