A study led by researchers at the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found the declining trend after analyzing the data on dissolved oxygen levels -- the amount of oxygen in the water -- in more than 15,000 lakes across the world over the past 20 years.
China's glacier area has decreased by approximately 6 percent over the past decade, according to the latest Chinese glacier inventory released on Friday. According to Kang Shichang, lead researcher of the project, China's glaciers covered about 46,000 square km, with some 69,000 individual glaciers. Compared to the results of the first inventory, from the 1960s to 2020, China's glacier area has shrunk by 26 percent, with nearly 7,000 small glaciers vanishing entirely.
An international team led by Chinese scientists have realized quantum-secured communication across over 12,900 kilometers between China and South Africa. Using the Jinan-1 micro-nano satellite and compact ground stations, this new breakthrough in quantum technology demonstrates the potential for secure quantum communication on a global scale.
A tethered balloon, developed by the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), was successfully deployed on Wednesday to assist in the construction of ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission lines in Tai'an city, East China's Shandong Province.
