The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), China’s flagship synchrotron radiation facility, has officially begun its joint-commissioning phase after successfully completing photon beam commissioning, the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which developed the facility, announced on March 27 in Beijing.
A team of researchers from the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a Doppler heterodyne Wind Imager (DWI), marking China's first vector wind field detection payload for the middle and upper atmosphere. The DWI was launched aboard the "Tianlu-1" satellite and has already acquired its first in-orbit interferograms.
China has marked another milestone in its pursuit of next-generation fusion technology, with the successful completion of a key system for its "artificial sun" project. This system, which passed an expert review and acceptance on Mar. 9, meets international standards in both development and operational capability.
A linear plasma generator developed by Chinese scientists has achieved its design specifications, positioning China as the second country in the world, following the Netherlands, to develop such a high-flux plasma generator. The Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced this achievement on Tuesday.
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.
China launched the Haishao-1 satellite aboard a Kuaizhou 1A carrier rocket at 12:46 PM on Dec. 4 from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The satellite was sent into its preset orbit, marking a significant milestone as China’s first ultra-low-Earth-orbit Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite.
