Chinese Scientists Advance Energy and Materials Research During Lunar New Year
During the Lunar New Year, Chinese scientists and engineers are engaged in critical projects. At the University of Science and Technology of China, PhD student Fang Tiancheng developed a thermal insulation material surpassing 2,000 degrees Celsius, contributing significantly to thermodynamics and generating substantial economic value.
In the Gobi Desert, the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics operates the world's only molten salt reactor achieving thorium to uranium conversion, supporting future nuclear energy systems. The China initiative Accelerator Driven System (CiADS) aims to enhance nuclear waste management and uranium utilization, with completion expected by 2027. In Mohe, the remote sensing satellite ground station operates under extreme conditions, increasing data reception efficiency for polar satellites.
