China＇s Space-science Satellite Series is Taking Shape and Will Hopefully Achieve Important Discoveries at Scientific Frontiers

China has made great progresses in space technologies since the launch of its first artificial satellite and prepared itself for the rapid development of space science. By using foreign observation data for many years, a large number of space scientists have been cultivated in China. However, except for a few space science experiments conducted on several satellites and the Double Star mission,

＂It＇s a Beautiful Chancc to Work in China＂--An Interview with Prof,Miguel Esteban

As a research professor at the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health (GIBH), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Miguel Esteban is the first non-Chinese scientist to chair a major scientific research program in China. Born and educated in Spain and the UK, he worked in Madrid and London as a scholar and physician before joining GIBH in January 2008. Just two years after his arrival, in 2010, Professor Esteban was named by the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology as the chief scientist of a five-year major research program on stem cell study with a grant up to 28 million yuan (about 4.4 million US dollars). The following is a brief interview between BCAS reporter XIN Ling and the Professor about his work and life in China.     

Developmcnt Trends and Measures to Promotc China＇s Solar Cell Technology and the PV Industry

The energy demands of socioeconomic development keep growing. Like other major countries, China is also facing an increasing shortage of conventional energy supplies. The large-scale exploitation of fossil fuels is a major contributor to environmental pollution. Economic development under the dual constraints of limited energy sources and the need for environmental protection has become a matter of global concern. Therefore, developing diverse new energy sources is a strategic priority of governments around the world.
