China just announced a groundbreaking "human cell lineage" mega-facility in South China's Guangdong, designed to crack the code of human development, disease, and aging. Led by Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the facility aims to map the spatiotemporal evolution of cells throughout the human lifespan, develop a large-scale AI model for digital cells, and construct a digital physiological human.
As reported in Advanced Photonics Nexus, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently made a significant advancement by developing a compact, solid-state laser system capable of generating 193-nm coherent light. This wavelength is crucial for photolithography, a process used to etch intricate patterns onto silicon wafers, forming the backbone of modern electronic devices.
China's space station is set to introduce a novel participant in its space science experiments -- the planarian, a creature renowned for its extraordinary regenerative capabilities, China Media Group reported on Saturday. The study of planarians holds profound implications for understanding human cellular mechanisms to combat aging and promote longevity, according to the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Chinese and New Zealand scientists have successfully concluded a groundbreaking collaborative dive expedition to the Puysegur Trench, supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Global Trench Exploration and Diving program (Global TREnD). The mission marked the first international scientific dive exploration of the Puysegur Trench and the second collaborative deep-sea expedition between China and New Zealand.
The 2025 International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS 2025) announced its laureates for the Basic Science Lifetime Awards and Frontiers of Science Awards at a press conference held Friday at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Six globally renowned scientists, including Samuel Chao Chung Ting, Steven Chu, and David Jonathan Gross, Robert Endre Tarjan, Shigefumi Mori, and George Lusztig, were honored with the Lifetime Awards.
Based on lunar samples retrieved by Chang'e-6 mission, a research team led by Chen Yi from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences confirmed that the oldest and largest impact crater on the moon, the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin, was formed 4.25 billion years ago, providing critical insights into the understanding of the early evolution of the moon and the solar system.
