Based on the data obtained by the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), Dr. LI Guangwei, Associate Professor of National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academic of Sciences (NAOC), cataloged 209 Galactic O-type stars, 135 of which are new.
Helium is the epitome of quantum mechanics because of its small mass and inertness to react.
Flowering plants (angiosperms) dominate most terrestrial ecosystems, providing the bulk of human food.
A recent study on spectacular fossil plants preserved in a volcanic ash fall deposit -- known as China's "vegetational Pompeii," in Inner Mongolia, China -- has resolved a mystery that puzzled palaeontology for over a century: What are Noeggerathiales?
Bioluminescence has fascinated people since time immemorial.
PAN Jianwei and colleagues PENG Chengzhi and ZHANG Qiang, from University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), collaborating with WANG Xiangbin from Tsinghua University and YOU Lixing from Shanghai Institute of Microsystems of CAS, realized the measurement device independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD) experiment based on long-distance free space channel for the first time.
Chinese scientists have established the world's first integrated quantum communication network, combining over 700 optical fibers on the ground with two ground-to-satellite links to achieve quantum key distribution over a total distance of 4,600 kilometers for users across the country.
Researchers from CAS Key Laboratory of Quantum Information of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have demonstrated on-demand storage of photonic qubits in an integrated solid-state quantum memory for the first time.
