More than 60 scientists in the field of accelerators from Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Italy, the Republic of Korea and China, recently gathered in the city of Dongguan in south China's Guangdong Province to exchange views on the latest research and scientific issues related to accelerator facilities worldwide.

Over 500 Chinese experts gathered at a conference in Lanzhou, northwest China's Gansu Province, from Wednesday to Friday, to explore the integrated use of the Hefei Light Source (HLS) and the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), two large scientific facilities dubbed as "super microscopes" to probe the structure of the microscopic world.

China began to upgrade its spallation neutron source, a large scientific facility dubbed as a "super microscope" to probe the structure of the microscopic world, to help boost scientific and technological innovation. The construction of the phase II of the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), the nation's first research facility providing the most intense pulsed neutron beams for scientific research, was launched in Dongguan city, south China's Guangdong Province, on Saturday.
