Prof. HE Zehui, a famous Chinese nuclear physicist and a senior academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, died on June 20 in Beijing at the age of 97. HE earned a doctorate in engineering in 1940 after writing a dissertation on a new method for testing the speed of flying bullets She remained in Germany for several years,conducting nuclear physics research.
Endocasts are the most direct evidence for studying human brain evolution. Endocasts can provide information on brain size, general shape, morphology, and anatomical features of the external surface. Dr. WU Xiujie, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and her collaborators, reconstructed
Archeologists from Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleanthropology (IVPP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Gansu Provincial Institute of Archeology conducted series of Paleolithic reconnaissance in Longxi Basin in the middle part of Gansu Province in 2009, and Stone artifacts and mammalian fossils from 16 new localities were collected,
Ultrasmall particles are poised to become central to biomedical applications such as drug delivery and photodynamic therapies. Semiconductor nanoparticles called quantum dots (QDs) are particularly promising for biological imaging, having size-tunable light emission and excellent photostability. The development of such clinical applications, however, hinges on understanding how such nanoparticles interact with and penetrate living cells.
The John Innes Centre (JIC) has launched a major collaborative venture with Institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). This builds on the strong associations between JIC and China that began more than three decades ago. There are over 100 JIC alumni with academic positions in China, and many of these alumni are in senior positions, including three who are Academicians at CAS.
Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Process Engineering (CAS-IPE) announced that they have used the world's fastest supercomputer to run a molecular simulation to examine potential improvements in the production of crystalline silicon.
