The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a multipurpose neutrino experiment designed to determine neutrino mass ordering and precisely measure oscillation parameters, has entered the final construction phase as its Project Manager WANG Yifang announced to begin the water filling at a rate of approximately 100 tons per hour on Dec. 18.

The evolution of the lunar dynamo is crucial for understanding the Moon's deep interior structure, thermal history, and surface environment. A recent study by Chinese scientists conducted paleomagnetic analyses on basalts returned by the Chang'e-6 mission and revealed a significant reinforcement of the lunar dynamo approximately 2.8 billion years ago (Ga).
A team of Chinese researchers has recently elucidated the characteristics of human eyelashes. Their study reveals that eyelashes consist of a hydrophobic, curved, flexible fiber array, featuring surface micro-ratchets and a macro-curvature approximating the Brachistochrone curve. This structure enables eyelashes to rapidly and directionally expel incoming liquid, thereby preserving clear vision.
A team of researchers led by Prof. SHAO Dingfu from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. XIAO Ruichun and Prof. LI Hui from Anhui University, have identified a unique phenomenon, known as the "skin effect," in the nonlinear optical responses of antiferromagnetic materials.
A team of researchers led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has unveiled an innovative drug delivery system that could enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatment while minimizing side effects.
The world's first stand-alone low-energy high-intensity heavy-ion accelerator facility (LEAF), developed by the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently passed the expert panel acceptance inspection organized by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
Rock samples collected from the moon's far side by China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe have provided groundbreaking insights into the evolution of the lunar body's magnetic field. Analysis of the samples, published on Thursday in the journal Nature, indicates the unexpected resurgence in strength of the moon's magnetic field 2.8 billion years ago, following a sharp decline around 3.1 billion years ago. The find challenges the prevailing theory that the moon's lunar dynamo remained in a low-energy state after that decline.
The world's largest transparent spherical detector started filling with ultrapure water Wednesday, signifying that the construction of the neutrino research facility has reached its last critical stage. The ultrapure water, which has been filtered through multiple stages of the water purification system, is injected at a flow rate of 100 tonnes per hour into the detector pool of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO).
Underneath a granite hill in southern China, a massive detector is nearly complete that will sniff out the mysterious ghost particles lurking around us. The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory will soon begin the difficult task of spotting neutrinos: tiny cosmic particles with a mind-bogglingly small mass. The detector is one of three being built across the globe to study these elusive ghost particles in the finest detail yet. The other two, based in the United States and Japan, are still under construction.
