Space collaboration between China and France goes beyond the French payload on China's Chang'e-6 probe, which was launched last week. The Space Variable Objects Monitor, or SVOM, is the first astronomical satellite jointly developed by China and France. After assembly and review in Shanghai, it is now ready to be delivered to the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, southwest China.

Muhammad, a postdoctoral researcher from Pakistan at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has immersed himself in the vibrant research community on Science Island, situated in the eastern part of Hefei, the capital city of Anhui province.

Photos show the scenery of fireflies glowing in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province.

Have you ever seen fish farming in space? Check out these zebrafish! They were brought into orbit by the Shenzhou-18 spaceflight crew and are currently in stable condition after being transferred to a lab module aboard the China Space Station on April 26.

A unique task for the taikonauts of Shenzhou-18 is to create an "aquarium" and raise fish in zero gravity. They will create a simplified version of an aquatic ecosystem using zebrafish and algae to study how the space environment affects their growth and system balance.

China Space Station, also the national space lab, will start a number of new science projects. Scientists tell CGTN how the in-orbit tests may change the future.

The Shenzhou-18 crew is taking a self-sufficient eco-system with it to the China Space Station. The scientist behind the space station's first fish-tank ecosystem experiment tells CGTN what it's about.

China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, has identified more than 900 new pulsars since its launch in 2016, its operator said Wednesday. Pulsars, or fast-spinning neutron stars, originate from the imploded cores of massive dying stars through supernova explosions. Han Jinlin, a scientist with the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), said that the pulsars included over 120 binary pulsars, more than 170 millisecond pulsars, and 80 faint and intermittent pulsars.

Black holes have enthralled astrophysicists for decades…as they are one of the most fascinating objects in space. They're extremely dense with such strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape their grasp as predicted by iconic German physicist Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity. One of the latest projects to investigate these cosmic phenomenona is the Einstein Probe, a Chinese satellite incorporating European technology.

Lijiang Alpine Botanic Garden of Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is located in the Yulong Snow Mountain. With an elevation difference of about 1 kilometer, seeds could be conserved under favorable conditions in this area.

Humanoid robots, with broad development potential and application scenarios, are regarded as another disruptive product after personal computers, smartphones and new energy vehicles. Last month, several "Q family" humanoid robot prototypes developed by the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA), made a public debut in Beijing. With different configurations, these humanoid robots vary in functions and characteristics.

CGTN reporter Zhao Chenchen recently sat down with Zeng Yi, a member of the United Nations AI Advisory Body and also a professor at the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to discuss the current problems and future trends of AI, as well as potential global cooperation in AI governance.
