Right in the heels of bagging the title for the fastest supercomputer in the world, Chinese scientists are already building a new machine that will vastly surpass their current record holder.
CHINA is on the brink of launching a groundbreaking new satellite capable of conducting quantum experiments in space, leading some to predict it will usher in the beginning of a new space race.
A team of researchers at Sichuan University's West China Hospital has announced plans to begin a clinical trial where cells modified using the CRISPR gene editing technique will be used on human beings for the very first time.
Now a Chinese observatory has superseded Arecibo. Installation of the 500-meter FAST radio telescope is complete, with the last triangular reflector put into place. The observatory is expected to begin observing the heavens in September.
The 500-meter dish will now listen out for signs of extra-terrestrial life.
The Asian country has embarked upon a long-term plan to colonize the Moon. The Long March 7 rocket has lifted off on Saturday from the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center.
Sunway Taihulight has been named the world's fastest supercomputer, with a processing speed exceeding 100 petaflops per second. Its calculation capacity in one minute equals 32 years of calculations by a billion people using calculators.
China intends to start building the world's most powerful supercollider in 2021 in a bid to quickly transform itself into the world leader in particle physics.
According to a new United Nations report, China plans to build an "ecological civilization" that could be a model for the rest of the world.
China's sweeping program to restore forests across the country is working. The vast destruction of China's forests, leveled after decades of logging, floods and conversion to farmland, has become a story of recovery, according to the first independent verification.
China released its thirteenth five-year plan on Saturday, pledging to cut the carbon intensity of its economy to 18% below current levels by 2020, a target that is likely to guide the CO2 cap in its national emissions trading scheme.
Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and Gottlieb Paludan Architects have just won an international competition to design the world's largest waste-to-energy plant in Shenzhen, China.
‘IF YOU build it they will come.’ This is the thinking guiding one of China’s most ambitious projects — a plan to build a “smart” city for 500,000 people, from scratch, on four man-made islands in South-East Asia.
There's a new player in the hunt for dark matter: China's Dark Matter Particle Explore (DAMPE) satellite, which launched on December 17. Ground stations have just received the first data beamed back from DAMPE. With all systems fully operational, the satellite officially begins its three-year mission.
Among the significant changes to the latest Top 500 list is the sharp decline in the number of supercomputers in the United States and a great leap made by China.
