China's space station made steady progress in the development of space science, application experiments and technology tests in 2025, according to China's Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization (CSU) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
An industrial demonstration project which passed an acceptance review in Beijing on Tuesday can decompose hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a highly toxic industrial waste gas, into high-purity hydrogen and sulfur, offering an innovative pathway for green transformation in traditional industries such as natural gas, petrochemicals and coal utilization.
Nestled among the mountains by the sea in Huizhou, Guangdong province, one of the world's largest all-ion accelerators is poised to go into operation, helping China to be at the forefront of nuclear science. The High Intensity Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF), which generated its first beam in October 2025 after seven years of construction, was developed by the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Researchers have identified a method to surpass the plasma density limit in experiments with the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the "artificial sun," providing a crucial physical basis for high-density operation in magnetic confinement fusion devices.
What began as a simple childhood fascination has driven Zhu Maoyan into becoming a globally recognized expert in the field of early life evolution and Earth system history. On top of honors such as being elected as an honorary fellow of the Geological Society of London, Zhu added the title of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to his repertoire in November.
The ocean, as described by physical oceanographer ZHOU Hui of the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS), is a "chaotic yet fascinating dance floor." It's a dynamic stage where everything from tiny ripples to vast, thousand-kilometer currents interact in a perpetual performance.
At work, Wang Zhifeng is a scientist specializing in solar thermal power research, but in his free time, he is an avid snow sports enthusiast. He has even covered one of the walls in his office with action shots of him and his family out on the slopes. He has combined his two passions to envision an indoor ski resort powered by solar energy on a sunny island in south China. In his eyes, solar power has great crossover potential: It is a source of heating and can be converted into various forms of energy, including cooling.
