Chinas Science Revolution

One of the greatest problems facing society today is how to feed a population set to reach ten billion by 2050 We will need to produce as much food in the next 30 years as we have done in all of human history This is the story of three scientists in China who are pushing new frontiers in farming to rise to this challenge From the genetic editing of crops to improve their disease resistance and

While most technological progress is incremental there are domains in science and engineering poised for groundbreaking changes Meet three leading Chinese scientists and engineers driving these innovations Quantum physics birthed quantum information science a field of global competition with China making significant strides China also stands out in developing advanced voice recognition systems

Discover the remarkable efforts that culminated in the construction of the worlds largest radio telescope poised to double the number of pulsars identified in our galaxy Journey through the challenges faced while creating the worlds most sensitive neutrino detector located deep underground in Southern China designed to measure the mass of these enigmatic subatomic particles Delve into the depths

Global positioning system GPS satellites have orbited Earth for decades but Chinas BeiDou satellite network equipped with atomic hydrogen clocks for precision has been developed with selfdriving cars in mind As our dependence on satellite networks for navigation and communication grows so does our vulnerability to space weather and solar storms China and the European Space Agency collaborate to

Disease has killed and maimed more people than any armed conflict and continues to challenge us This is the story of three Chinese scientists who are working on the front lines of our battle with disease Their ambitious goals have the potential to improve lives across the globe from precision gene editing to create new animal models for testing novel drugs designed to defeat Alzheimers and
