China unveiled a national mid and long-term development program for space science on Tuesday, which will guide the country's planning of space science missions and space research from 2024 to 2050. The program, the first of its kind at the national level, was jointly released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The main reflector for the antenna system of the 40-meter-aperture radio telescope was hoisted and installed on Monday in Shigatse, Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region. Jointly developed by Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the 39th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation, the radio telescope is a project constructed to offer technical support for the country's lunar and deep-space probe missions in the future.
China has constructed the world's largest transparent spherical detector 700 meters underground to capture elusive neutrinos, often dubbed "ghost particles," to unravel the secrets of the infinitesimally small and the infinitely vast in the universe. The 12-story-tall acrylic sphere with a diameter of 35.4 meters, buried deep in a granite layer of a hill in Kaiping, Jiangmen City in south China's Guangdong Province, is the core part of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a gigantic and complex scientific facility.
How should water flow through fields? What directions and widths are appropriate for ridge planting? Where should more fertilizer be applied, and where should less be applied? These precise considerations are now part of China's work to protect its precious farmland.
In an office drawer of Chinese scientist Wei Yuansong lies a thank-you letter written in Sinhalese and signed off by an entire Sri Lankan village. The letter, having passed through many hands and franked in various locations, tells shared memories of a decade-long fight against a killer kidney disease that had plagued the locals for years due to a lack of safe drinking water.
Wang Qingfeng, who is director of the Wuhan Botanical Garden and director of the Sino-Africa Joint Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has spent nearly 30 years traveling back and forth between Africa and China as he cataloged Africa's diverse plant life.
Dr. WANG Aiying joined the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), since the position of NIMTE is quite consistent with her research goals. Now in Ningbo, Dr. WANG collaborates with her research group to renovate surface engineering technology and manufacture advanced coating deposition systems, escorting pillars of the Great Power into the air and the sea.
