1. Study of Lunar Soil Determined Oldest Impact Vestige on Moon Formed 4.25 Billion Years Ago

Through the study of the lunar soil samples collected from the far side of the Moon by Chang'e-6, another major breakthrough has been achieved: it has been determined that the oldest and largest impact vestige on the Moon, the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA Basin), was formed 4.25 billion years ago. This provides an initial anchor point for the history of large-scale impacts in the early days of the solar system, and it is of great scientific significance for understanding the early evolution of the Moon and even the solar system. The research results were published in the academic journal National Science Review.

In addition, this work has confirmed that the global lunar thermal event that occurred between 4.35 and 4.33 billion years ago has nothing to do with the large-scale impact of the SPA, providing a reference basis point and scientific evidence for reshaping the primary evolutionary sequence of the early Moon.

2. Another World Record! Second Phase of the Meridian Project Passes National Acceptance

The second phase of the Meridian Project, a major national scientific and technological infrastructure, has passed national acceptance. This marks the completion of a comprehensive ground-based monitoring facility for the space environment that covers the entire heliospheric and geospace spheres in China. It will significantly enhance China's capabilities in space weather forecasting and early warning.

The second phase of the Meridian Project has the ground-based monitoring capability for full-chain tracking, ranging from solar surface eruptions, interplanetary propagation to geospace responses. Its relevant performance indicators have reached the international leading level.

3. Trial Flight of Emergency Communication UAV on CBN 5G 700MHz "Golden Band" was Successful

The large - fixed - wing UAV of the Emergency Management Department of Guangdong Province, equipped with the China Broadcast Network 5G 700MHz emergency - communication base station, took off successfully and completed the test in Guangdong Province. This is the first application of the 700MHz band and 5G standard in UAV - based emergency communication in China. The test results show that under the CBN 5G 700MHz network, voice and SMS services perform well throughout the process, and the comprehensive performance is two to three times that of the conventional emergency - communication solutions.

4. Panoramic Analysis of the Mysteries of Life: Multimodal and Cross-scale Biomedical Imaging Facility Passes Acceptance

The multimodal and cross-scale biomedical imaging facility has passed the national acceptance in Beijing. This major scientific and technological infrastructure in the field of biomedical imaging in China, which has gone through 12 years of preparation, construction and trial operation, is about to be fully launched and opened to the world. The facility will provide full-scale and multimodal imaging technology support for life science research and the diagnosis and treatment of major diseases, helping to panoramically analyze the mysteries of life.

5. SJTU Released a Protein - "Directed Evolution" Large - Scale Model

Research team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University has released the protein - design large - scale model “Venus”. Its core ability is to achieve the "directed evolution" of protein functions. The team has combined AI with protein design and modification, establishing the world's largest protein - data set. The model trained based on this data set can accurately and efficiently predict and design protein functions, transforming protein production from "slow trial - and - error" to "high - efficiency precise design". At present, a number of products designed by this model have entered industrial applications.
