Chinese Scientists Reveal How Itch Turns into Scratch[Aug 18, 2017]

Chinese scientists said Thursday they may have revealed how the sensation of an itch turns into the action of a scratch, laying a solid ground for the development of potential therapies for chronic itch. In a study published in the U.S. journal Science, the researchers reported the discovery of a central neural circuit that moves itch signal from the spinal cord to a part of the brainstem called the parabrachial nucleus (PBN).

Chinese Scientists Investigate Caroline Seamount in Western Pacific Ocean[Aug 15, 2017]

Chinese scientists on Monday started to explore a seamount named Caroline in the west of the Pacific Ocean for the first time, as a remote operated vehicle (ROV) dived to collect videos, information and samples. As part of the Caroline Ridge in the Pacific Ocean, the Caroline seamount is located in the south of the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on the Earth, and in the east of the Yap Trench, and it has never been explored.

Quantum Communication Experiments Lead China's sci-tech Innovation[Aug 14, 2017]

As the first to achieve quantum key distribution from a satellite to the ground, China is confident in making more scientific and technological breakthroughs. The achievement, based on experiments conducted with the world's first quantum satellite -- Quantum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS), lays a foundation for building a hack-proof global quantum communication network.

Chinese Scientists Aim to Launch More Quantum Satellites[Aug 10, 2017]

"We hope to form a ground and space integrated quantum communications network in about 10 years, and apply it widely in fields such as national defense, government affairs, finance and energy, and promote the formation of emerging industries of strategic importance," said Pan. "We also hope to use space-based quantum technology to explore and examine basic physical theories such as quantum gravity."

Chinese Scientists Conduct Ground-to-space Quantum Teleportation[Aug 10, 2017]

Chinese scientists have completed an experiment straight out of the realms of science fiction - quantum teleportation - from the ground to the world's first quantum satellite. The experiment was similar in some ways to the Star Trek mode of transport, except that the scientists beamed up the quantum states of photons rather than people.
