News on China's scientific and technological development.

It is not new and the data here is already a few years old. But the implications are simply stunning:




Only Harvard and the University of Toronto crack the top 10 in scientific papers in a sea of Chinese institutions. And a fair amount of those those publishing at Harvard and Toronto are probably Chinese too.

Science papers are forward projecting. Their real impact in the practical world of science and economics don't appear until later. We are looking at the harbinger of an unbelievable level of Chinese dominance in the future of science and technology.

Why is Tsinghua only #10? And where is Beida?

They all moved to Harvard for their masters.

There’s a quantity vs quality issue going on there. Chinese universities are among the best in quality as well, but that list certainly doesn’t reflect it.

Yet another innovative drug created by Chinese scientists got the approval by FDA for treating uvea (vascular tunic) melanoma patients in the US. Melanomas in uvea are hard to diagnose early yet extremely easy to spread by bloodstream. The average life expectancy is less than a year once the cancer cells have started spreading.

Existing treatments rely on surgery and radiation therapy that usually cause permanent damages to the eyes of the patient, including blindness.


近日，中国科学院杭州医学研究所由谭蔚泓院士领衔，刘湘圣、谢斯滔研究员等组成的团队与中国科学院杭州医学研究所眼科研究中心、温州医科大学吴文灿教授团队联合研发的创新药物——核酸适体偶联药物（Aptamer Drug Conjugate，简称ApDC）成功获得美国食品药品监督管理局（简称FDA）孤儿药认定，这也是全球首个获得FDA孤儿药认定的核酸适体偶联药物。这不仅是中国科研团队的一次重要突破，也有可能为全球眼部肿瘤罕见病患者带来全新的治疗希望。

China continue to build advance scientific infrastructure for research..

The world's largest superconducting magnet dynamic testing facility was built in Hefei​

on December 30 that the "Fusion Engineering Reactor Central Screw System", a subsystem of the "Fusion Reactor Host Key System", a major national scientific and technological infrastructure built and operated by the Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, completed its first round of test experiments on December 29. The maximum test current reached a steady-state 48kA, exceeding the design value of 47kA.

The experimental results show that the facility has a total energy storage of 406.7MJ, an inner diameter of the available test magnet of 1500mm, a maximum field strength of 12T, and a joint resistance of 0.1 nanoohm, fully meeting the design indicators and becoming the world's largest and most comprehensive large-scale superconducting magnet dynamic performance test system .

The goal of the "Fusion Engineering Reactor Central Solenoid System" is to build a large-scale superconducting magnet and experimental system, and carry out a series of experiments on the strong electromagnetic field, rapid changes in high pressure, and system reliability of the superconducting central solenoid magnet under the operating conditions of future fusion engineering reactors, laying a solid foundation for the construction of my country's fusion engineering reactors and obtaining sufficient operating condition data.


The project team spent nearly 10 years solving a number of key scientific and technological problems, including large-scale fusion reactor superconducting magnet design, low-resistance superconducting joints, ultra-low temperature magnet insulation, quench protection, large-scale low temperature, high current power supply, and rapid magnetic field change safety control. It has successfully developed and built the world's largest superconducting magnet and test system, achieving 100% localization of superconducting magnet materials, equipment, and systems . Next, the system control will be further optimized, and in-depth scientific research will be carried out on high magnetic field change rate (1-5T/s), larger current (>50kA), higher magnetic field (>30T), and extreme accident conditions.

At 2,400 meters underground, the world's largest deep-ground liquid nitrogen cryogenic experimental platform began commissioning in Sichuan​

Jinping Underground Laboratory is located in Jinping Mountain Traffic Tunnel in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is the world's deepest rock coverage, largest available space, smallest cosmic ray flux and world-class comprehensive deep underground experimental platform . It allows scientists at home and abroad to carry out major basic frontier scientific research such as dark matter detection, neutrino research, and nuclear astrophysics experiments.

The Jinping large facility has built a large liquid nitrogen low-temperature shielding device and a large room-temperature pure water shielding device in an underground space covered by rocks at a depth of approximately 2,400 meters. At the same time, it has built multiple sets of combined solid radiation shielding devices, forming an extremely deep underground and extremely low radiation background shielding platform that can carry out both large-scale cutting-edge physics experiments and small-scale principle verification experiments.

The large liquid nitrogen shielding device is about 20 meters high, equivalent to a 6-story building . It is one of the key large-scale process equipment of Jinping large-scale facility project, which can provide detector low-temperature working environment and radiation shielding system for the new generation of dark matter direct detection and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments.
