China has constructed the world's largest transparent spherical detector 700 meters underground to capture elusive neutrinos, often dubbed "ghost particles," to unravel the secrets of the infinitesimally small and the infinitely vast in the universe. The 12-story-tall acrylic sphere with a diameter of 35.4 meters, buried deep in a granite layer of a hill in Kaiping, Jiangmen City in south China's Guangdong Province, is the core part of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a gigantic and complex scientific facility.
How should water flow through fields? What directions and widths are appropriate for ridge planting? Where should more fertilizer be applied, and where should less be applied? These precise considerations are now part of China's work to protect its precious farmland.
A joint experimental team led by the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has successfully completed a groundbreaking terahertz wireless communication experiment on Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
Scientists have identified the thickest glacier on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, known as Asia's water tower, following the discovery of a nearly 400-meter-thick ice field. The ice field, with a maximum measured thickness of nearly 400 meters, is part of the Purog Kangri Glacier in Tsonyi County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, according to researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
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.
If Xishuangbanna is an oasis on the Tropic of Cancer, then XTBG is the most dazzling gem in that oasis. This 1,125-hectare park preserves over 13,000 species of tropical plants in its 35 living collections, including over 301 families and 2,110 genera. In the eyes of ecologists, this vast beauty holds a plethora of secrets about nature. Hundreds of researchers and students from more than 30 countries work together there to decipher nature's code. Nakamura is one of them.
