China Media Group announced the top 10 scientific news stories from the nation for 2024 on Monday. Here is a summary of the key developments:
**Top 10 Scientific News from China**
1. A significant meeting took place on June 24, combining the national sci-tech conference, the national science and technology award conference, and the general assemblies of members from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
2. The Chang'e-6 probe successfully returned to Earth on June 25, delivering the world's first samples from the lunar far side, underscoring China's growing achievements in space exploration.
3. The Meng Xiang, China's inaugural deep-ocean drilling vessel designed and constructed domestically, boasts a maximum drilling depth of 11 kilometers and was officially commissioned in Guangzhou on November 17.
4. Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China reported a significant milestone by observing antiferromagnetic phase transitions in a large, uniform quantum simulator. This groundbreaking study, published in Nature on July 10, is the first to simulate the fermionic Hubbard model beyond the capabilities of classical computers using ultracold atomic quantum simulators.
5. Announced on January 12, the China Meteorological Administration revealed that the nation has significantly enhanced its meteorological data capabilities by launching a new generation of supercomputing systems with 6.5 times the computing power of previous models.
6. In February, the "Q Family" humanoid robots, developed by researchers at the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, made their inaugural public appearance in Beijing.
7. April saw China release a groundbreaking set of geological atlases of the moon, featuring a scale of 1:2.5 million. These high-definition lunar geologic atlases are the first of their kind, providing foundational map data for future lunar research and exploration.
8. On October 11, 2024, China celebrated the successful recovery of its initial reusable and returnable test satellite, the Shijian-19, at the Dongfeng Landing Site located in the Gobi Desert in Inner Mongolia, as reported by the China National Space Administration.
9. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link in Guangdong Province officially opened on June 30, 2024, marking a significant infrastructure development in southern China.
10. Chinese researchers have pioneered a brain-on-a-chip intelligent interaction system named MetaBOC, advancing the field of brain-computer interfaces. This system allows a brain organoid to autonomously control robots for various tasks, such as obstacle avoidance, tracking, and grasping, thereby fostering advancements in brain-like computing.
