Chinese scientists have made groundbreaking discoveries about East Asia's ancient populations by analyzing DNA from 127 individuals who lived in southwest China's Yunnan province between 7,100 and 1,400 years ago.
China launched its first asteroid sample-return mission, Tianwen-2, in the early hours of Thursday, an endeavour to shed light on the formation and evolution of asteroids and the early solar system. The Tianwen-2 mission aims to achieve multiple goals over a decade-long expedition: collecting samples from the near-Earth asteroid 2016HO3 and exploring the main-belt comet 311P, which is more distant than Mars.
With years of effort, scientists from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences managed to develop passive acoustic monitoring devices capable of capturing real-time underwater signals. These devices automatically identify the porpoises' unique vocalizations, pinpoint their locations and track their movements.
Chinese scientists have developed FLARE, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to predict stellar flares, offering a transformative tool for astronomical research, the Institute of Automation under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) announced on Tuesday.
Prof. WANG Feiteng from the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences returns each year to the Dagu Glacier in an act of stubborn defiance: wrapping parts of the glacier in white, heat-reflective fabric; spraying artificial snow into thinning air; trying techniques borrowed from ski resorts and Olympic venues — anything that might slow the melt long enough to matter.
China has made a significant breakthrough in building a high-speed "data highway" between satellites and the ground. According to the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a new-generation high-throughput satellite-to-ground data transmission system has been successfully tested, an official announcement showed on Monday.
