High on a ridge 5,250 meters above sea level in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, a new eye onto the infant universe has blinked open. Scientists at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced Sunday that their AliCPT-1 telescope has captured its first crisp images of the moon and Jupiter at 150 GHz, a milestone that marks the formal opening of China's first hunt for primordial gravitational waves.
China's Chang'e-7 lunar mission, expected to launch around 2026, will be equipped with a seismograph to study moonquakes and probe the lunar interior, according to Wu Fuyuan, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and a leading researcher with the Institute of Geology and Geophysics under CAS.
Chinese researchers have developed an innovative electrified catalysis strategy that removes more greenhouse gases than it generates, achieving net-negative emissions, according to a research article published in the journal Science Advances on Saturday.
A team of Chinese scientists, in collaboration with international researchers, has achieved a breakthrough in brain mapping, with ten seminal studies on mesoscale brain atlases published as a featured collection of papers in Cell Press journals on Thursday.
After her neuroimaging research at Germany's Max Planck Institute, Dr. LI Juan chose to join the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – drawn by its global reputation and the synergy between her work and NIMTE's Nanobiomaterials Group. She collaborates with a vibrant team, pioneering novel biomaterials and smart biomedical probes for the precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
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.
