​On Tuesday, China announced its first-ever medium- and long-term plans for space science development. A variety of key research areas have been listed. Ding Chibiao, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the country aims to become a global leader in certain areas by 2050.

Deep beneath the city of Jiangmen, in southern China's Guangdong Province, lies a large research infrastructure used for the study of neutrinos. Neutrinos are the oldest and most primitive elementary particles that have existed since the beginning of the universe. Studying neutrinos opens the door for humans to understand the universe and existing matter in the world.

​China's large scientific infrastructure: the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility, or SSRF, is what's known as the country's first third-generation synchrotron radiation light source. The Nautilus-like building produces light that is hundreds of millions of times more powerful than an ordinary X-ray. It's known as synchrotron radiation and is created when charged electrons move close to the speed of light in a vacuum and change their direction.

With the rapid advancements in China's aerospace technology, the volume of data generated by satellite detection is growing exponentially. Chinese scientists have developed a laser communication ground system to transmit this massive amount of data. Click to learn more.

The 2024 Big Earth Data report, released at the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), sets a new standard for using advanced technologies in promoting sustainable development and offers key resource for the global community, said the project's leader.

The Medal of the Republic has been awarded to geneticist Li Zhensheng. With a career spanning over 70 years, Li has been instrumental in advancing agricultural science, promoting new wheat varieties and increasing yields to ensure the nation's food security.

President Xi Jinping signed a presidential order on September 13 to award national medals and honorary titles to 15 individuals when China celebrates its 75th founding anniversary. These awards recognize exceptional contributions to the nation's development and its international partnerships.

On Wednesday, CAS Space successfully put five satellites into the preset dawn-dusk sun-synchronous orbits from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The five satellites, two as pioneers for the company's AIRSAT satellite constellation, a Jilin-1 SAR01A, and the Yunyao-1 21 and 22, are mainly for land surveys, meteorological observations and other fields, according to the company.

The construction of the Core Array of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) started Wednesday, highlighting China's growing potential in global radio astronomy research. As a proposed extension of FAST, the Core Array integrates 24 secondary 40-meter antennas implanted within 5 kilometers of the FAST site.

Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday met with the representatives of space scientists and engineers who participated in the research and development of the Chang'e-6 lunar mission at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The story of Kuafu chasing the sun lives on in China's EAST project, where scientists strive to harness the power of nuclear fusion, lighting the way toward a sustainable energy future.

China's self-developed floating airship, Jimu No.1, successfully conducted atmospheric research over the Purog Kangri Glacier. Located in Nagqu City, the Xizang Autonomous Region, the Purog Kangri Glacier is the world's third-largest ice sheet and the largest outside the Arctic and Antarctic regions. The data collected will significantly enhance the understanding of the Purog Kangri Glacier's environment, aiding scientists in better predicting changes in the region's atmosphere and climate. This research is expected to continue until the end of September, providing crucial insights into atmospheric circulation patterns.
