8. Quantum communication "walks from the ideal kingdom to the realm of reality"
On January 18, 2017, the world's first quantum science experimental satellite "Mozi" developed by China was officially delivered after four months of on-orbit testing. On June 16, 2017, the team led by Pan Jianwei and Peng Chengzhi of the University of Science and Technology of China announced that the “Mozi No.” was the first in the world to successfully realize the two-dimensional quantum entanglement distribution of stars and kilometers. The quantum mechanical non-locality test which strictly satisfies the "Einstein locality condition" at the spatial scale is realized. The world's first quantum security communication trunk line - "Beijing-Shanghai trunk line" officially opened on September 29. Combined with the "Mozi" satellite, Chinese scientists have successfully achieved the world's first intercontinental quantum security communication with Austria. The "Mozi No." has successfully achieved the three established scientific goals. In the words of Pan Jianwei, the two-dimensional quantum communication of the kilometer-level star has finally "walked from the ideal kingdom to the real kingdom."
9. Chinese Academy of Sciences launches new high-yielding rice germplasm
The rice breeding team led by Xia Xinjie, a researcher at the Institute of Subtropical Agroecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, announced on October 16, 2017 that after more than ten years of research, the team has cultivated super high-yield and high-quality “giant rice”: plant height up to 2.2 meters, mu It can produce more than 800 kilograms, and has the characteristics of high yield, lodging resistance, resistance to diseases and insects, and flooding resistance. The DNA fingerprinting of the New Plant Variety Testing Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and the fingerprint of the 56k rice SNP gene chip of Huazhi Rice Biotechnology Co., Ltd. confirmed that “Giant Rice” is a new rice germplasm material. This “giant rice” has high photosynthetic efficiency, and its biomass per unit area is 50% higher than that of existing rice varieties. The average effective tiller is 40, the highest single grain number is more than 500, and the single season yield can exceed 800 kg/mu. . It is a new rice germplasm material obtained by using a series of new breeding techniques such as mutant induction, wild rice distant hybridization and molecular marker orientation breeding.
10. "Wom" discovers suspected dark matter trails
On November 30, 2017, the first results of the Chinese dark matter particle detection satellite "Wukong" were published in Nature. “Wokong” measures the abnormal fluctuations of the electron cosmic ray spectrum at 1.4 trV electron (TeV) energy. This mysterious signal was first observed by humans, meaning that Chinese scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery. If subsequent research confirms that this discovery is related to dark matter, it will be an epoch-making scientific achievement. Humans can follow the footsteps of Wukong to find the vast unknown beyond 5% of the universe. This will be beyond imagination. achievement. Even if it is not related to dark matter, it may bring about a breakthrough in existing scientific theories. “Wokong” has a relatively small investment and is the world leader in two key technical indicators: “high-energy electrons, gamma-ray energy measurement accuracy” and “the ability to distinguish different types of particles”.
