The first Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange will take place in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality from Nov. 6 to 7, the State Council Information Office said Monday at a press conference.

Scientists grappling with dating the age of the modern Yellow River, China's second-longest river, the "mother river" of the nation and the cradle of Chinese civilization, have made a breakthrough using a quantum technique.

China and five Central Asian countries launched an action plan to promote cooperation on green technology in ecology, agriculture and biodiversity on October 18 at a sideline event of the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing. Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography is one of the partners that proposed the plan.

The first edition of a new conference on international deep-sea science and technology cooperation opened on Tuesday in Sanya, south China's Hainan Province.

A team of Chinese scientists proposed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that may help significantly speed up the process of discovering drugs.

A Chinese research team announced Monday that it has built an automated weather station at a 5,896-meter altitude in the Kunlun Mountains in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Chinese scientists, inspired by marine worms, have developed a new low-carbon building material, offering potential for energy saving and emission reduction in the building sector.

A new study revealed that Chinese fir, a widely used species for afforestation programs in southern China, has the highest carbon sink rate in its middle age, shedding light on climate change mitigation actions. Researchers from the South China Botanical Garden under the Chinese Academy of Sciences chose a forest farm in south China's Guangdong Province and collected data on carbon storage and sequestration capacity of Chinese fir at the ages of five, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 years.

China and five Central Asian countries launched an action plan on Wednesday to promote cooperation on green technology in ecology, agriculture, and biodiversity.

A Chinese constellation of remote-sensing satellites has successfully obtained high-precision terrain mapping data products using the multi-baseline interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technology, marking the country's first in-orbit application of such a mapping system.

Aided by Chinese and global remote sensing satellite data, global navigation satellite system and geographic information system analytical tools are set to bring to light the age-old heritage from more than 2,000 years ago of ancient river channels, springs, roads, lost oases and irrigation systems seen from the sky.

The world is becoming more and more complex, and cooperation is now even more necessary than ever, Jean-Jacques Dordain, former director-general of the European Space Agency (ESA), said at the assembly. We have no alternative to cooperation, because we are living on one planet, meaning that we have only one common future, he said.
