A series of scientific satellites launched by China have achieved major discoveries in fields such as cosmic transient objects, cosmic-ray propagation and solar eruptions, renewing humanity's understanding of the universe. Since the launch of a CAS space science program in 2011, eight scientific satellites have been sent into space.
China on Monday launched an international science program focused on fusion burning plasma research in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province, opening several major fusion research platforms to global scientists for joint scientific advancements. This international program, initiated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Plasma Physics, will provide global access to the country's multiple major fusion research platforms, including the Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak (BEST) facility in Hefei.
The second Qinghai-Tibet scientific expedition has become a driving force behind ecological protection legislation on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, academicians said at a news conference in Lhasa, capital of the Xizang autonomous region, on Wednesday. The top 10 application achievements of the expedition were released at the event, covering ecological conservation, disaster prevention, resource exploration, carbon accounting, traffic safety and development in border areas.
The world's largest transparent spherical neutrino detector in south China's Guangdong Province reported its first achievement on Wednesday, marking a major step of its decade-long construction. Using 59 days of effective data after the start of operation on Aug. 26 this year, JUNO has already measured two of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters with a factor of 1.5 to 1.8 better precision than previous experiments.
China's Tiangong space station is set to welcome another spectacled visitor. ZHANG Hongzhang, researcher from a leading natural science institute, will conduct experiments in orbit 400 km above Earth, elevating his quest for achieving groundbreaking studies to cosmic heights. The 39-year-old space debutant is a payload specialist on the Shenzhou-21 crewed mission, which is scheduled for launch from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China late on Friday.
For nearly 10 years, Tajik geologist Dzhovid Yogibekov has made his life in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, where his studies have grown into a deep connection with local society. Xinjiang, which borders Tajikistan, is easily accessible from his home country. Yogibekov said he could reach Tajikistan in just a few hours via the Karasu Port in Kashgar, which makes it more convenient for him to study in the region.
After her neuroimaging research at Germany's Max Planck Institute, Dr. LI Juan chose to join the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) – drawn by its global reputation and the synergy between her work and NIMTE's Nanobiomaterials Group. She collaborates with a vibrant team, pioneering novel biomaterials and smart biomedical probes for the precision diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
