The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is at the forefront of China's effort to explore and harness advanced technology and natural sciences for the betterment of humanity.
Throughout its history, CAS has relentlessly pioneered scientific and technological exploration, becoming the linchpin of China's emergence as a global science and technology powerhouse. Central to its achievements is also a tireless commitment to innovation.
In honor of the founding of CAS and the People's Republic of China 75 years ago, we present 75 milestones of innovation that have marked CAS's magnificent history as China's science and technology leader.
Over the past 75 years, CAS has tirelessly engaged in exploration and innovation, achieving a series of outstanding milestones—from building the world's largest single-aperture radio telescope, to developing China's first dedicated synchrotron radiation light source, to launching China's first micro-satellite, to accomplishing the world's first synthesis of a nucleic acid and many, many more scientific and technological advances.
The next 75 years will surely bring even more pioneering breakthroughs as CAS embraces innovation to carry China and the world into a future bright with cooperation and possibility.
