China's first AI large language model dedicated to rare diseases, PUMCH-GENESIS, was developed jointly by Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) and the Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Based on China's accumulated rare disease knowledge and genetic data from its population, PUMCH-GENESIS is the world's first rare disease model tailored to Chinese demographic characteristics.
A team led by Shi Xian from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have attributed the sudden movement of a boulder on the surface of a comet to a phenomenon known as the "rocket effect," which resulted from the asymmetric outburst of volatile ice inside the boulder.
Researchers from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources (NIEER), under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a chemical sand-fixation material suitable for use in cold desert regions, which is expected to serve as a new tool for sand control and desertification prevention in such areas.
