Arieh Warshel, Nobel laureate in chemistry in 2013, is widely recognized as one of the founding figures of computational chemistry. Together with Martin Karplus and Michael Levitt, he developed the groundbreaking "multiscale model," a revolutionary approach that enabled accurate simulations of complex biological molecules, leading from chemistry and biology to drug discovery. In a recent interview with Science and Technology Daily, Warshel, now 85, reflected on the beginnings of his scientific career, sharing his insights on international collaboration, AI, and the path ahead for young researchers.
Dr. Salvatore Aricò, an Italian biologist, ecologist, oceanographer and marine policy expert, has worked at the science-policy interface for nearly 30 years, contributing to initiatives such as the Pilot Analysis of Global Ecosystems, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, as well as the Global Environment Outlook and Global Biodiversity Outlook.
China's Five-Year Plans are far more than economic planning documents. They are the outcome of a collective process that mobilizes thousands of experts, academics, officials and representatives from all levels of the Communist Party of China (CPC), from the most remote provinces to the central organs of power in Beijing. Their formulation involves millions of people through consultations, sectoral studies and strategic debates. This participatory and scientific approach ensures that the plan is not an imposed decree, but a shared roadmap embraced by society as a whole.
"Global cooperation is not a luxury. It is a necessity. It is through dialogue, trust and shared scientific work that we can build bridges and create solutions that leave no one behind.” This powerful message is part of the speech given by Brazilian scientist Professor Helena B. Nader at the 2025 General Conference of Alliance of National and International Science Organizations for the Belt and Road Regions (ANSO) on Science and Innovation 2025, which opened in Beijing on October 28.
"No country can be great without great science. This is clearly the case with China." With these words, Norwegian biologist Nils Christian Stenseth, speaking as ANSO Science Ambassador, president of the International Society of Zoological Sciences, and a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), captured the spirit of the 2025 General Conference of Alliance of National and International Science Organizations for the Belt and Road Regions (ANSO).
China has supported African countries in building many infrastructure projects, and there is no other country that could put all these together, so win-win cooperation should be strengthened, said Tshilidzi Munyai, member of the National Assembly of South Africa, during the "Innovation, Openness, Shared Development" Global Dialogue recently held in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The 2025 World Young Scientist Summit (WYSS), held in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, from October 24 to 26, has emerged as a powerful symbol of China's commitment to fostering a globally inclusive and supportive environment for scientific innovation.
At the ANSO (the Alliance of National and International Science Organizations for the Belt and Road Regions) General Conference on Science and Innovation 2025 in Beijing, which opened on October 28, one message echoed through the halls of international scientific dialogue: no nation can meet today’s global challenges alone.
During the recent 2025 World Young Scientist Summit in east China's Wenzhou city, Arieh Warshel, the Nobel laureate in chemistry in 2013, advised that young scientists should choose hard problems and have the perseverance to push forward their research.
Dr. Manzoor Hussain Soomro speaks not as a theoretical academic, but as someone who has lived the journey from hardship to global influence. Born into a landless farming family in Pakistan, he rose to become founding president of the Economic Cooperation Organization Science Foundation, a senior advisor to UNESCO and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and a recipient of Chinese Government Friendship Award.
When asked to describe China’s scientific advancement in just three words, Professor Zio didn’t hesitate.“[Firstly], amazing,” he said,“because I’ve seen the change in the efficiency and effectiveness of managing such a complex system, a nation with the largest population, huge distances and immense demands of products and services, of wellbeing for all.” From high-speed rail networks running with near-perfect punctuality, to breakthroughs in electric and autonomous vehicles, to effective realization of nuclear power plants, Zio finds China’s ability to execute large-scale technological projects nothing short of extraordinary.
Manzoor Hussain Soomro, founding president of the Economic Cooperation Organization Science Foundation (ECOSF), recently told Science and Technology Daily that in the field of scientific research, the potential of women has not been fully explored. And, globally, more female role models should be established in terms of leadership.
Imagine peering into Earth as if it were a patient undergoing a CT scan. That's essentially what Danish geophysicist Hans Thybo does, except that instead of X-rays, he uses seismic waves and other advanced imaging techniques to explore the planet's deep secrets.
Recently, five international students and entrepreneurs visited Xi'an Jiaotong University in northwest China, learning about how the brain-computer controlled rehabilitation robot helps stroke patients to recover.
Recently, five international students and entrepreneurs visited Shaanxi Automobile in Xi'an city, northwest China, witnessing how intelligent manufacturing enables the production of a truck cab in just three minutes.
Xi'an in northwest China, where the ancient Silk Road began, now symbolizes China's fusion of heritage and innovation. Part of our "Into Tech Park" series, this article explores how technology fuels inclusive growth through the eyes of international students and entrepreneurs. Initiatives like the China-Europe Railway Express and Qinchuangyuan platform highlight Xi'an's role as a global hub, where policy support and cultural openness turn ideas into real impact. Here, ambition finds a home, and the future is built on shared opportunity.
For two decades, China's environmental governance has been guided by the principle that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." This innovative philosophy has transformed policies, driven technological advancement, and demonstrated how ecological protection and economic growth can reinforce each other. Today, this successful model offers valuable insights for developing nations pursuing sustainable development.
As the summer breeze sweeps across the vast forests of Saihanba in Hebei, the green tea-covered hills of Anji in Zhejiang, and the highlands where Tibetan antelopes roam in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, a picture of coexistence between humanity and nature unfolds across China. This is not just a seasonal transformation. It represents the tangible fruits of two decades of ecological civilization building, nurtured by the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."
A recent report released by the Xinhua Institute and the Research Center for Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization explores this shift in depth. Titled “Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains for a Beautiful China and World: China’s Ecological Civilization Concept and Practice, and How They Inspire the World,” the report examines how China’s environmental policies have evolved over the past two decades and the practical insights they offer for sustainable development.
China has built one of the world's most comprehensive carbon reduction policy frameworks and developed the largest, fastest-growing renewable energy system. It contributes about one-fourth of the world's newly added green areas and ranks among the countries with the fastest decline in energy consumption intensity, making major contributions to global climate action and sustainable development, according to a white paper released by the State Council Information Office on November 8.
China is not only the world's largest manufacturer of wind turbines but also the biggest consumer of wind power.
