Here's the news. Chinese radio astronomer, Li Di, has been awarded the Marcel Grossman Award for his research contributions in the field of fast radio burst.
As the chief scientist of China's 500 -meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope or FAST And for short, Lee was awarded for his groundbreaking contributions to the scientific capabilities of the world's most sensitive radio telescope, including precise measurements of interstellar magnetic fields and advancing the study of fast radio burst to a high statistical significance." That is according to the Committee of the 17th Marcel Grossman Meeting.
Li noted that humans share the same sky, and the international opening of astronomy is inevitable adding that strengthening China -EU cooperation especially through the open sharing of astronomical data between the two sides can greatly advance cutting -edge exploration and effectively prevent decoupling".
Michael Cramer, director of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy, noted that Lee's latest contributions in the field of the mysterious fast radio bursts in particular have really moved humans' understanding forward.
The Marcell Grossman Award, established in 1985 and presented every three years, is considered one of the most prestigious international awards in physics.
previous Chinese laureates include Nobel Prize winners Yang Zhanning and Li Zhongdao as well as world -class mathematician Chiu Chen Tong.

Chinese researchers have recently developed a brain -on -a -chip intelligent interaction system, shedding new light on brain -computer interface research.
such. The system enables a brain organoid to autonomously control robots for tasks such as obstacle avoidance, tracking, and grasping.
The brain on a chip consists of two components, namely, an electrochip and an in vitro cultured brain tissue.
This brain organoid is created through stem cell culture technology and possesses some of the intelligent functions of a biological brain.
By equipping it with an electrochip, scientists can control the brain organoid to send signals to the outside, thereby achieving specific functions.
According to Ming Dong, vice president of Tianjin University, unlike traditional technologies that primarily use the human brain or other biological brains as experimental subjects, The brain on a chip has emerged as an important new branch in the field of brain -computer interfaces.
Ming noted that the research is expected to have a revolutionary impact on developing cutting -edge scientific fields, such as hybrid intelligence and brain -like computing.
The study was jointly conducted by researchers from Tianjin University, and the Southern University of Science and Technology, and has been published in the international journal Brain.

Yunnan Agricultural University has successfully applied for the establishment of China's first coffee science and engineering major, becoming the first institution in the country to offer undergraduate training in coffee related knowledge.
This initiative has captured the attention of the public, especially high school graduates who are currently navigating the challenging job of selecting a university and choosing a major.
students enrolled in the major of the College of Tropical Crops at the University will study a diverse range of subjects.
The curriculum includes foundational courses in food science and engineering, as well as specialized classes, such as coffee flavor chemistry, coffee processing, roasting and cupping, along with practical training in engineering and skills development.
Located in Pu 'ar City, known as the coffee capital of China, the program leverages the region's similarities to the ancient forests of the Ethiopian Highlands, the birthplace of coffee.
According to Yang Shue Hu, the Dean of the College of Tropical Crops, the program not only focuses on specific Holistic aspects of coffee production but also provides a comprehensive education covering the entire industry chain.

So what makes Yunnan the kingdom of mushrooms?
Well, the answer is that it's probably a gift endowed by nature.
Located in southwest China, Yunnan is marked by mountainous terrain, particularly the altitude difference in Yunnan is huge.
The gap between the highest and lowest point of Yunnan is more than and 6 ,660 meters.
You can see various terrains in Yunnan, from basins, plains, plateaus, mountains to hills.
What's more, the overall weather of Yunnan is mild and cool, but the multifarious terrain also contributes to various climate types.
So Yunnan basically owns one of the most complex natural conditions in China which provides rich ground for all kinds of wild mushrooms.
Locals there are probably the group who knows most about mushrooms.
They know almost every recipe that brings out the best flavor of mushrooms.
