Tiandu Satellites Conduct Earth-Moon Transmission, Routing

China's communication and navigation technology test satellites, Tiandu-1 and Tiandu-2, have successfully carried out experiments on new technologies such as highly reliable Earth-Moon transmission and routing, which could effectively improve the accuracy of spacecraft in determining the lunar orbit.

Novel Method to Analyze Fast Radio Bursts

Based on the rich data of China's FAST telescope, a research team at the National Astronomical Observatories of the CAS (NAOC) proposed a novel method for a comprehensive analysis of the behavior of active fast radio bursts in the time-energy domain, revealing the randomness of the behavior.

Heavy-ion Accelerator for Cancer Treatment

Chinese scientists have invented an advanced medical facility, called heavy-ion accelerator, to assist the human battle against cancer. The high-speed carbon ions it producesare channeled into the treatment area to kill the tumor cells of cancer patients.

Study Reveals Global Store of Soil Carbon

Researchers from the CAS have found a massive 2,305 billion tonnes of carbon stored as soil inorganic carbon in the top two meters of soil worldwide, which is more than five times the carbon found in all of the world's vegetation. This hidden pool of soil carbon could be key to understanding how carbon moves around the globe.
