Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), Hong Kong Institute of Science & Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, officially unveiled its latest development, a large multimodality model - CARES Copilot 1.0, tailored for the medical field, on March 11 at the Hong Kong Science Park.
Recently, the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), also known as the Chinese "artificial sun," started operation with over a hundred Chinese and foreign scientists conducting joint physics experiments on Science Island before China's Spring Festival. This is to demonstrate and address technical challenges for the international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject ITER.
A new report by Chinese scientists, released on December 7 in northeast China's Shenyang city, has urged enhanced prevention and management of extreme forest fires, stronger scientific research, and more international cooperation on fire carbon emissions in order to address global climate change.
In a virtual signing ceremony held on November 29, 2023, Prof. WU Yirong, Director-General of the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), inked a Memorandum of Understanding with Salvatore Aricò, Chief Executive Officer of the International Science Council (ISC), marking the commencement of International Program Office (IPO) for the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) Program which has stepped into the second phase.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina have, in advance of the UN Climate Conference (COP 28) that begins on Nov. 30 in Dubai, announced the second joint Science for Future conference in Berlin/Germany in autumn 2024. The conference will focus on basic research aimed at achieving climate neutrality.
The electron beam of the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) achieved more than 5 nC of bunch charge at 6 GeV via the booster on Nov. 17, marking a key milestone for the HEPS project. As one of China’s key scientific and technological infrastructure projects during the 13th Five-year Plan, construction on HEPS began in Huairou Science City on June 29, 2019. The project is expected to be ready for operation at the end of 2025.
