The 14-channel satellite is the first successor of the present FY-2 series, with much improved temporal (15 min) and spacial resolution (500 m). By multispectral, high-precision and quantitative observation data, the satellite will investigate details inside typhoons, rainstorms, floods, forest fires, sand storms and space weather. In addition, it can capture 500 lightning pictures per […]
By 2020, 160 bio-gas and recycling agriculture demonstration sites should have an annual output of 80 billion cubic meters biogas. As to bio-liquid fuels, consumption of heavy metal polluted corn and rice grains, cassava as raw materials, and the use of wasteland, saline sorghum and other energy crops will be supported. As of 2020, biomass […]
The method is based on single-shot ptychography encoding (SPE) that uses multiple partially-overlapping beams of light to generate a diffraction pattern from a complex object. SPE can encode the optical watermark in a single exposure with no mechanical scanning, is less prone to error than other methods and uses a simpler optical setup. CAS news […]
The group of Deming ZHOU modified the premature termination codon (PTC) in the genome of influenza A virus and found that the modified virus could no longer replicate in regular cells. Antibody response was comparable to an existing live-virus vaccine, and a second dose further increased the amounts of antibodies by a factor of six […]
The plan focuses on 10 priority sectors, including advanced rail, aviation and aerospace, agricultural machinery and technology, and new generation information technology.
