The newly launched Shenzhou-19 taikonauts have embarked on their six-month journey aboard China's space station. Their packed schedule includes 86 sci-tech experiments, with a particularly intriguing one - the fruit fly research, aimed at studying the growth and behaviors of these insects at a distance of 400 km above Earth.
The Shenzhou-18 spacecraft has returned to Earth with 34.6 kilograms of space station experimental samples, encompassing microorganisms, alloy materials and nanomaterials that are difficult to prepare on Earth, the Science and Technology Daily reported on Monday.
China's Einstein Probe (EP) astronomical satellite, sent into space in January this year, has achieved several initial discoveries, including a mysterious uncommon transient phenomenon, assisting further understanding of the universe and extreme physical processes.
The Shenzhou-19 mission will take fruit flies to space for the first time, according to Zhang Wei, a researcher from the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
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.
