Chinese scientists from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering have developed an innovative desalination technology that uses rice straw and sunlight for clean water production. The technique can be used in remote islands or mountainous regions lacking water. It can be used during emergencies such as floods, earthquakes and severe environments such as in the wilderness for obtaining clean water.
Chinese and Belgian scientists have teamed up to set up a laboratory for advanced single cell analysis. The Sino-Belgian Collaboration Laboratory for Single Cell Analysis Technologies opened on Friday at the Chinese National Compound Library in Zhangjiang of Pudong. It was set up by Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie-Flanders Institute of Biotechnology. The lab intends to share resources, technology, talent and projects. The National Center for Drug Screening and Pudong Hospital affiliated to Fudan University are among the first batch to join the lab.
A total of 2,500 young scientists from Belt and Road countries and regions will come to China for short-term scientific research. Li Yin, deputy director-general of the Bureau of International Cooperation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said he expected more cooperation between members under COMSATS and the Alliance of International Science Organizations (ANSO) in the near future.
A flabby, translucent creature called the hadal snailfish (Pseudoliparis swirei) is the first animal from the extreme depths of the ocean to have its genome sequenced. Its genetic road map is revealing the basis of adaptations that enable animals to live in hostile environments such as the Mariana Trench, the deepest place in the ocean.
Researchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences built a new type of PSC based on an inorganic mica substrate, which could reduce the strain in the device even under large bending deformation.
Chinese scientists have become the first in the world to obtain the near-atomic map of a protein complex, which will aid in the development of oral medicine against osteoporosis. Across the world, 200 million people suffer from osteoporosis.
