Chen-ning Yang, a name that resonates with brilliance in the world of physics, has left us at the age of 103. His passing was confirmed by Xinhua, but the specifics of his illness remain undisclosed. Yang's contributions to science are monumental. He stood shoulder to shoulder with giants like Albe
A complex illness called eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis often shows up with a specific marker called myeloperoxidase-perinuclear-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. This condition is tricky to spot. It can be easily confused with other health issues. Doctors usually think of it w
China's rapid economic growth has led to some incredible infrastructure projects. The country is home to half of the world's longest bridges. This is due to the massive number of people moving to cities and the booming industry of electric vehicles and other automobiles. China also operates some of
You might be wondering how urban and rural areas working together can make the air cleaner. Let's take a look at some cities along the Yangtze River. These cities are trying to blend urban and rural life. This blend can make a big difference in how clean the air is. Scientists are trying to figure
Ever wondered how China is trying to bridge the gap between cities and villages? One way is through the "new-type urbanization" (NTU) and "rural revitalization" (RR) plan. This isn't your typical growth story; it's about creating a new urban-rural relationship. Researchers used something called the
Scientists have found a fresh way to understand the behavior of dilute Bose gases using the Bogoliubov theory. This new method makes it easier to derive the important Lee-Huang-Yang formula, which is crucial in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. Not only that, they've explored what happens beyond this reg
Did you know that frogs living near the Yangtze River need different homes as they grow from eggs to adults? Unfortunately, these homes are disappearing due to climate change and cities getting bigger. Scientists found a clever way to figure out which spots are most important to save. They looked at
Nitrate pollution is a big problem, and figuring out where it comes from is key to solving it. Researchers looked at water samples from China's biggest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake, over two years. They used some fancy methods, like isotope models and statistical tools, to trace the sources of nitra
Imagine a machine that can dig a tunnel wide enough to fit a five-story building through it. That's exactly what China has built! This machine, named Jianghai, is the country's largest tunnel-boring machine (TBM). It weighs a whopping 5, 000 tons and is 16. 64 meters in diameter. Why is this a big d
As I watched the news unfold, I couldn't help but feel a mix of shock and validation. Eric Adams, the first sitting mayor in New York City's history to be indicted on federal corruption charges, had been accused of five counts of bribery, wire fraud, and solicitation of donations from foreign nation
