Scientists at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new forecasting tool called iDust that enhances predictions of dust storms, addressing a critical challenge for renewable energy, particularly in desert regions where dust can drastically reduce solar panel efficiency.
Chinese scientists have found a way to make flexible tandem solar cells more efficient and durable by enhancing the adhesion of top layers to the bottom layers of the cell, according to a recent research article published in the journal Nature Energy.
A research team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with researchers from the University of Chicago and other institutions has identified materials that contract upon heating, which enables the rejuvenation of aging lithium-ion batteries with nearly 100 percent voltage recovery, promising to revolutionize future material design and application.
China has successfully established the world's first three-satellite constellation based on the Distant Retrograde Orbit (DRO) in the Earth-moon region of space, laying a foundation for the exploration and utilization of space, and for future crewed deep-space exploration. DRO-A and DRO-B, two satellites developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and deployed in the DRO, have established inter-satellite measurement and communication links with DRO-L.
Last year, Chen Liquan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was awarded the CAS Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award, a recognition for a lifetime of groundbreaking contributions. From developing China's first all-solid-state lithium metal battery to mentoring a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, Chen's work has been instrumental in transforming China from a follower to a global leader in battery technology.
While China's green energy transition appears to have a heavy focus on electric vehicles, solar, wind and hydro power, another clean energy source being developed is hydrogen. Zhou Wu, an expert on hydrogen catalysis has been a driving force behind China's research into the process that could revolutionize the clean commercial production of hydrogen.
At the end of 2024, Chinese scientist Wei Yuansong, a leading expert in water pollution control, received an extraordinary honor: a set of commemorative stamps issued by Sri Lanka featuring his portrait. This rare tribute recognized his decade-long commitment to providing communities with safe drinking water and fostering scientific collaboration between China and Sri Lanka.
