Chinese Science - Space Hospital Could Look Like This!

China: Futuristic Space Hospital Being Designed! (7.8.2025)

The Shenzhen University of Advanced Technology and the Shanghai Engineering Centre for Microsatellites recently signed a cooperation agreement to jointly establish a space hospital in the future. This project aims to enhance astronauts’ health and expand in-orbit medical monitoring and life support capabilities.

The future space hospital will make breakthroughs in fields such as aerospace, medicine and biology, and conduct cutting-edge research in space life and health support. It will also prepare research on non-astronauts space travel, interstellar exploration and other space health support needs, the China Science Daily reported Wednesday.

Socialist Science Maps Brain Genetics!

China: Scientists Uncover Complex Blueprint of Human Brain Cortex! (20.2.2025)

The study addresses a fundamental question: How do these intricate connections form, and why do distinct brain regions exhibit such orderly distribution across the cortex?

“The brain begins following a genetic ‘blueprint’ during embryonic development,” Fan noted.

Researchers proposed a hypothesis: genetic encoding and cortical connectivity are not directly correlated due to the vast numerical disparity between genes and neural connections. Instead, genes likely guide the spatial organization of white matter fiber tracts through efficient organizational principles, forming specific embedded patterns in the cortex, said Li Deying, the paper’s lead author and a doctoral student at the institute.

Technological Breakthrough!

China: Socialist Tech-Breakthrough in “Terahertz Wave” Control! (24.1.2025)

The newly developed terahertz wave polarization modulator outperforms other existing models, offering enhanced multifunctionality, a broader operating bandwidth, and high-precision control.

Terahertz waves, which occupy the spectral region between millimetre waves and infrared light, are characterized by broad bandwidth and strong penetration capabilities, making them highly promising for applications in next-generation wireless communications, material testing, and bio-medicine.

The research was jointly completed by the Aerospace Information Research Institute and Nanjing University. Its results have been published in the international academic journal Optica.

Lunar Magnetic Field

China: Chang’e 6 Samples Shed Light on Lunar Magnetism! (23.12.2024)

They discovered that the Moon’s magnetic field may have experienced a rebound around 2.8 billion years ago, suggesting that the Moon’s generator may have been reinforced after an early sharp decline.

“The reason for this rebound could be a change in the primary energy source of the generator or a restrengthening of the initial driving mechanism,” Cai said.

“The data fill in a billion-year gap in the evolution of the lunar paleomagnetic record and provide the first paleomagnetic measurements from the lunar far side,” a reviewer for the journal Nature said. “The authors are to be congratulated on a historic study that provides a major advance in our understanding of lunar magnetism.”

The evolution history of the Moon’s magnetic field is markedly different from that of the Earth’s, the research team said.

Science Malta Agency Chief Executive Officer Silvio Scerri speaks during an interview

Progressive Malta: Island Nation Seeks to Boost Science, Technology Cooperation with China! (20.11.2024)

During Scerri’s recent visit to China, the Beijing Association for Science and Technology (BAST) and SM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen science communication and youth science education with a focus on participation in the “Beijing International Week for Science Literacy,” as well as collaborations in scientific publishing and digital science communication.

SM is also exploring collaborations with the Chinese Academy of Sciences for researcher exchanges and with the National Natural Science Foundation of China for broader collaborations, according to Scerri.

“We wish to cooperate further and diversify the Sino-Malta R&I portfolio offering at Science Malta,” Scerri noted.

Dark Side Moon

PRC: Lunar Samples Indicate Previous Magma Activity! (19.11.2024)

am lunar soils.

The study published on Science, conducted by a team led by Xu Yigang, an academician of the CAS and a researcher at the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry of the CAS, also confirmed magma activity on the lunar far side 2.8 billion years ago.

The study also indicates that the eruption of lunar mare basalt is influenced by the internal composition of the moon, explaining why the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the lunar far side lacks abundant volcanic activity.

“These samples are the first to be collected on the lunar far side so it provided a unique view to the moon’s global geological history. The results are novel and are deserving of publication in Science. They will be of interest to a broad readership,” Science reviewer Katherine Joy said.
