The Climate Science for Service Partnership China (CSSP China) project, launched in 2014 by the UK Met Office, the China Meteorological Administration, and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, aims to build climate-resilient services for economic and social development.
After more than nine years of construction, the main body of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) was completed on Wednesday and is scheduled to be put into operation next year. The observatory, located in Jiangmen City, south China's Guangdong Province, is the world's largest transparent spherical detector 700 meters underground to capture elusive neutrinos, to unravel the secrets of the infinitesimally small and the infinitely vast in the universe.
Is there any possibility of interstellar life propagation? What are the effects of space cultivation on vertebrates? Bearing these questions in mind, research fellows at the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), received a group of life science experiment samples recently and have been preparing them for further studies.
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.
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.
