China's experience in the conservation of the Yangtze finless porpoise using advanced monitoring equipment and artificial intelligence is being applied to the protection of Irrawaddy dolphins in the Mekong River in Cambodia.
For centuries, the question of whether life exists beyond Earth has intrigued humanity, and now a joint discovery by Chinese and German scientists may offer a significant clue. Based on the Transit Timing Variation (TTV) technique for the first time, the super-Earth, Kepler-725c, with 10 times the mass of the Earth, has been detected within the habitable zone of the Sun-like star Kepler-725, which is a promising candidate for potential habitability.
Chinese researchers have developed an innovative degradable silicone-hydrogel coating that shows exceptional anti-biofouling performance in marine applications. The study presents a sustainable solution for combating microbial fouling, a major challenge in terms of marine engineering and underwater infrastructure.
Chinese and international scientists have called on the global scientific community to unite and make greater contributions toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through continued exploration at the frontiers of science and technology. The remarks were made in Beijing on Saturday at a seminar titled "Sustainable Development and Inclusive Collaboration: Responsibilities of the Scientific Community," held to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Last year, Chen Liquan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was awarded the CAS Outstanding Scientific and Technological Achievement Award, a recognition for a lifetime of groundbreaking contributions. From developing China's first all-solid-state lithium metal battery to mentoring a new generation of scientists and entrepreneurs, Chen's work has been instrumental in transforming China from a follower to a global leader in battery technology.
While China's green energy transition appears to have a heavy focus on electric vehicles, solar, wind and hydro power, another clean energy source being developed is hydrogen. Zhou Wu, an expert on hydrogen catalysis has been a driving force behind China's research into the process that could revolutionize the clean commercial production of hydrogen.
At the end of 2024, Chinese scientist Wei Yuansong, a leading expert in water pollution control, received an extraordinary honor: a set of commemorative stamps issued by Sri Lanka featuring his portrait. This rare tribute recognized his decade-long commitment to providing communities with safe drinking water and fostering scientific collaboration between China and Sri Lanka.
