The Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully conducted a business-oriented application experiment in satellite-to-ground laser communications with data rates exceeding 100 Gbps, achieving a peak transmission speed of 120 Gbps.
A team of Chinese scientists has created the world's first quantum sensor network designed to detect dark matter, connecting laboratories over 300 kilometers apart in the eastern Chinese cities of Hefei and Hangzhou. Published in Nature on Thursday, the research achieved unprecedented sensitivity in searching for signals of axions -- a candidate of hypothetical particles that might comprise the universe's "missing mass."
Hon. Emelia Arthur, Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture Development of Ghana, led a high-level delegation to Hubei Province and Wuhan in late January. Over three days, the delegation visited research institutions, universities, government agencies, and frontline industries, seeking practical solutions to address Ghana's growing fish supply shortage. At the Institute of Hydrobiology, CAS, Minister Arthur accepted an exclusive interview with CICC's Changjiang Dialogue.
Scientists have developed a new type of crystal, marking a significant advance in the field of vacuum ultraviolet laser light. After sustained research into the fundamental theories and core technologies of vacuum ultraviolet nonlinear optical materials, a team of researchers from the institute successfully developed an ammonium fluorooxoborate (ABF) crystal. Their findings were published in the journal Nature on Thursday.
What began as a simple childhood fascination has driven Zhu Maoyan into becoming a globally recognized expert in the field of early life evolution and Earth system history. On top of honors such as being elected as an honorary fellow of the Geological Society of London, Zhu added the title of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to his repertoire in November.
The ocean, as described by physical oceanographer ZHOU Hui of the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS), is a "chaotic yet fascinating dance floor." It's a dynamic stage where everything from tiny ripples to vast, thousand-kilometer currents interact in a perpetual performance.
At work, Wang Zhifeng is a scientist specializing in solar thermal power research, but in his free time, he is an avid snow sports enthusiast. He has even covered one of the walls in his office with action shots of him and his family out on the slopes. He has combined his two passions to envision an indoor ski resort powered by solar energy on a sunny island in south China. In his eyes, solar power has great crossover potential: It is a source of heating and can be converted into various forms of energy, including cooling.
