Redefining Cold: A Woman Who Gave China a Cryogenic Temperature Ruler
Cryogenic temperatures are defined as those below 120K (-153.15°C), but scientist Gao Bo's research reaches even further into the extreme, focusing on temperatures below 24.5561K (-248.5939°C). Measurement technologies at this range provide critical support for frontier scientific research, major scientific facilities, deep-space exploration, and the development of green energy.

Wisdom's Breath: The Living Tradition of Chinese Medicine
For "plant hunters" like PEI Shengji, fieldwork can last anywhere from two months to half a year. While the expeditions are filled with fascination, they demand immense courage. Leeches burrowing into ears, clinging all over their bodies, or venomous snakes coiled on their beds – these are all commonplace occurrences for them.
