The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) announced the 2024 Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize on Thursday, recognizing two scientists and 14 scientific achievements. The Outstanding Science and Technology Achievement Prize of CAS, established in 2002, recognizes individuals or research groups who have made significant contributions to major achievements within the past five years. Nominations and reviews are conducted every two years.
Chinese researchers have discovered a peculiar crystal growth pattern in the lunar samples from the Chang'e-5 mission. The findings may serve as an indicator of extreme non-equilibrium crystallization, providing a reference for future studies into crystal growth mechanisms on airless celestial bodies and in other extreme conditions.
China's Tiangong Space Station is expected to host its first scientific research project conducted by scientists from Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) as early as this year. The project will contribute to the green emission reduction cause in the Greater Bay Area, offering robust data support for China's carbon peaking and neutrality goals, as well as carbon emission plans for partner countries and regions along the Belt and Road.
A Chinese research team has successfully developed a strong flow linear plasma device named as “Chixiao” to provide a scientific and technological tool for the development of core materials for the research of “artificial sun,” the controlled nuclear fusion experimental devices, Xinhua News Agency reported on Tuesday.
While the majority of Chinese botanists have directed their research efforts toward studying the rich flora of China, a select few have ventured into the unexplored realms of African flora. Wang Shengwei at the Wuhan Botanical Garden stands out as one of these explorers. He delves deep into the intricate tapestry of African plant diversity and distribution. Over the years, he has traveled to African countries many times.
Seek knowledge even if you have to go as far as China, as an Arabic old saying goes. For Osama Abdalla Abdelshafy Mohamed, an Egyptian young scientist, his journey in China has not only been about knowledge-seeking but also life-rewarding, reflecting the flourishing talent exchanges between China and Egypt. He has been working at the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG), the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for almost 10 years, and calls Xinjiang his second home.
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.
