At a test site in Zhangbei County, Hebei Province, a wind turbine with a generator of 175 m diameter was installed. Compared to the predecessor with 160 m diameter, annual power generation is to increase by 40% and cost per kWh by over 10%. Japan JST China news, June 30, 2021
The team around HUANG Sangwen in Shenzhen used genome design to develop an inbred line of diploid potatoes, propagated by seeds. This might substitute the clonal propagated tetraploid crop. The estimated tuber yield of these F1 hybrids in the first plot trial is 40 tons per ha, indicating a huge yield potential. In addition, the […]
The group around XU Jian provided single-cell Raman spectra from 27 phylogenetically diverse microalgal species under stationary and exponential state conditions. In combination with pigment and whole spectra, these data could classify species and growth states with 97% accuracy. Anal. Chem. 2021, 93, 25, 8872–8880 https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.analchem.1c01015
14,500 heliostats were installed and tested in Naomaohuzhen, Hami, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Xinjiang’s first solar thermal power plant. The heliostats use the most advanced tower-type molten salt power generation technology to reflect sunlight to the heat storage area, which is 181 meters high. The thermal energy is converted to steam and drives a steam turbine. […]
According to plan, a National Industrial Internet Big Data Center will be almost completed by the end of 2021, promoting the conversion of industrial equipment and business systems to cloud computing by more than 100,000 companies. The plan also encourages large companies to build a digitization platform that suits the characteristics of SMEs, develop digitization […]
The group around QIN Guozheng studying the abscisic pathway (ABA) involved in fruit ripening found shown that mRNA m6A methylation, which is considered as an mRNA “epitranscriptome”, participates in the ripening control. The researchers found that m6A methylation displays a dramatic change at ripening onset of strawberry. The m6A modification in the coding sequence regions appears […]
As a cooperation among CAS Institute of Atmospheric Physics and Tsinghua University, EarthLab will use a high-performance scientific computing platform to simulate the physical climate system, environmental system, ecological system, solid earth system, and space weather system as a whole. Along with other Earth simulators around the world, EarthLab will advance the understanding of not […]
Located in Beijing’s Daxing Biopharmaceutical Center, the center, to be opened in June, 2022, covers an area of 73,000 square meters, with a central 13-story main building, 7-story large space laboratories on both east and west sides, priority laboratories, and animal experiments. The center, a tribute to Nobel laureate TU Youyou, will focus on the […]
After six years of intensive exploration activities, the field was located in the Tarim Basin Fuman district, which covers 10,000 square kilometers in the central area of the Taklimakan Desert and the southern area of the Tarim River. Recently, there was another discovery in the central part of the desert at the exploration well “Manfuka […]
A joint research group composed of JING Xiaoyan, GONG Yanhai and XU Teng, have developed a RAGE-Seq technology, starting from liquid-phase Raman analysis of D2O-fed soil flora, isolating and wrapping bacterial single cells with specific Raman phenotypes into skin-up droplets, and then doing downstream genome sequencing. By this method, they could cover individual single cell […]
