China's first gigantic radio telescope dedicated to observing interplanetary scintillation phenomena passed its technical testing process on Friday. The telescope, located in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, will be applied to monitor interplanetary space weather on a daily basis to provide high-quality data for both China's and international space weather forecasting.

A team of Chinese scientists has discovered that glassy materials within the lunar soil samples, which were brought back by the country's Chang'e-5 lunar exploration mission, contain hydroxyl and molecular water generated from a variety of sources. The study published on Saturday in the journal Science Advances revealed that the glass in the lunar soil created by meteorites or micrometeorites impacts is the primary carrier of molecular water in lunar soil.

The international community should unite in purpose, share knowledge and best practices to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), young Chinese scientists said Thursday on the sidelines of the United Nations Civil Society Conference underway in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.

Scientists have discovered an abundance of gas-rich galaxies in the distant universe, using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) in southwest China's Guizhou Province. According to the study, the newly discovered galaxies, whose radio wave emissions have taken almost the age of the solar system to reach the earth, contain similar or more atomic hydrogen gas than the tens of thousands of galaxies previously surveyed with other radio telescopes.

Chinese scientists recently launched a comprehensive bilingual data sharing platform, named the China Air Pollution Data Center (CAPDC), for air quality research and management. Accessible at www.capdatabase.cn, the CAPDC is the first data sharing platform focused specifically on atmospheric pollution complexities in China.

A group of Chinese researchers has offered a perspective on the atmospheric escape processes of low-mass exoplanets, specifically a process known as hydrodynamic escape, according to a research article published in the journal Nature Astronomy on Thursday.

Chinese researchers have provided new age estimates and revised provenience information for the Liujiang human fossils, which represent one of the most complete fossil skeletons of Homo sapiens in China, according to a recent research article published in Nature Communications.

Bilateral trade between China and France has grown by almost 800 times since they established diplomatic relations in 1964. China is France's largest trading partner in Asia, while France ranks as China's third-largest trading partner within the European Union. In recent years, their collaboration has yielded fruitful results in energy transition and green development, which have become new highlights of their pragmatic cooperation in the 60 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations.

Scientists have recently revealed a vast DNA tree of life for flowering plants, which represents a pioneering step for illuminating Darwin's "Abominable Mystery." The study, jointly conducted by an international team of researchers from the Kew Gardens, British Royal Botanic Gardens, the Kunming Institute of Botany (KIB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other institutions and universities, has been published in the journal Nature.

A Chinese research team from USTC has realized the fractional quantum anomalous Hall state of photons for the first time by using an independently developed quantum experimental system.

The world's largest of such power station has achieved its first grid connection and power generation in China's Shandong province. The power station, with a 300MW system, is claimed to be the largest compressed air energy storage power station in the world, with highest efficiency and lowest unit cost as well.

A total of 31.5 kilograms of samples making up the new batch of research samples brought back to Earth in the return capsule of China's Shenzhou-17 manned spaceship were delivered to the Technology and Engineering Center for Space Utilization of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing on Wednesday.
