China's domestically developed buoyant airborne turbine (BAT) reached a record height on Thursday in central China's Hubei Province, harnessing stronger, steadier winds from higher altitudes to generate power.

China has constructed the world's largest transparent spherical detector 700 meters underground to capture elusive neutrinos, often dubbed "ghost particles," to unravel the secrets of the infinitesimally small and the infinitely vast in the universe. The 12-story-tall acrylic sphere with a diameter of 35.4 meters, buried deep in a granite layer of a hill in Kaiping, Jiangmen City in south China's Guangdong Province, is the core part of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a gigantic and complex scientific facility.

How should water flow through fields? What directions and widths are appropriate for ridge planting? Where should more fertilizer be applied, and where should less be applied? These precise considerations are now part of China's work to protect its precious farmland.

A joint experimental team led by the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has successfully completed a groundbreaking terahertz wireless communication experiment on Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.

Scientists have identified the thickest glacier on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, known as Asia's water tower, following the discovery of a nearly 400-meter-thick ice field. ​The ice field, with a maximum measured thickness of nearly 400 meters, is part of the Purog Kangri Glacier in Tsonyi County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, according to researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

China launched its first satellite, Dongfanghong-1, on April 24, 1970, ushering in the nation's exploration of the universe and its peaceful use of outer space. Five decades on, China's unremitting space exploration efforts are unlocking a wealth of insights concerning the cosmos.

A Chinese institute has launched in Beijing a groundbreaking GIS-LCA software for conducting carbon footprint assessments throughout the entire life cycle of products, which is touted as the world's first of its kind that is based on geographical location.

A satellite designed to investigate solar wind completed all its development work in China on Friday, marking a new milestone of the China-Europe space mission. The Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is a joint mission between the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the European Space Agency (ESA).

Lonnie Thompson, a member of the American Academy of Sciences and a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has returned to the highest county in China 24 years after his last visit. In the Shuanghu County of southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, where the average altitude exceeds 5,000 meters, he is working with Chinese scientists to uncover the secrets of Earth.

As it approaches the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhao was awarded the national honorary title of "People's Scientist" this month. This is the highest honor in China given to distinguished individuals who have made significant contributions and earned high reputations in various fields such as economy, defense, diplomacy and education.

To figure out the neural mechanisms of sequence sorting in working memory, Chinese scientists trained two macaque monkeys to perform a visuospatial delayed sequence-sorting task and conducted high-throughput electrophysiological recordings in the frontal cortex of the monkeys.

China has already achieved 126 indicators (55.5 percent) ahead of schedule of the UN 2030 Agenda, a significant increase from 2015, according to the latest report released by the International Research Center of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals (CBAS).
