In 1998, CAS implemented its National Knowledge Innovation Program (KIP), which ran from 1998 through 2010.
As part of KIP, CAS scientists recorded numerous scientific achievements, including sequencing one percent of the human genome; sequencing the rice genome and isolating important functional genes; developing the Godson general purpose CPU chip; building the Dawning and Shenteng supercomputers; developing coal liquefaction techniques and the technology to convert methanol to light olefins; developing permafrost roadbed technology crucial to the construction of the Qinghai–Tibet Railway; conducting research on climate and environmental changes over the past 2,000 years in environmentally sensitive zones in China; and realizing efficient and long-lived quantum memory with cold atoms inside a ring cavity, among others.
