    (230808) -- HEFEI, Aug. 8, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This composite photo taken on Nov. 28, 2016 shows researchers making an experiment as the quantum satellite "Micius" flies over an observatory in Xinglong, north China's Hebei Province. Peng Chengzhi, born in 1976, holds several professional positions: professor and doctoral supervisor at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), chief scientist of QuantumCTek Co., Ltd., and chief engineer of the scientific application system of Micius, the world's first quantum communication satellite. Peng began to participate in the research of quantum science and technology in 2003. Since then, he has taken part in the whole process of the design of the quantum satellite "Micius", witnessing the development of China in the fields of quantum communication, quantum computing and others. Since the USTC and QuantumCTek Co., Ltd are based in Hefei, while the Shanghai Institute for Advance Studies of USTC and Shanghai Research Center for Quantum Science are locat

      (230320) -- CHENGDU, March 20, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This file photo taken in 2011 shows Wu Xichun observing a slice of a fossil sponge with a microscope at the laboratory. Wu Xichun is a professor at the College of Energy of the Chengdu University of Technology and an expert in geology. In the early 1970s, while conducting a geological mapping survey in the northwestern part of Sichuan Province, Wu unexpectedly discovered a reef group formed by Triassic siliceous hexactinellid sponges. Since then, he has devoted himself to the study on sponge reefs for nearly five decades. In order to study foreign literature, Wu mastered English, Russian, and German, and taught himself Latin, Greek, and Old French. He spent years conducting tens of times of on-site investigations at the discovery area to obtain more accurate research results and brought back dozens of pounds of fossils by himself. To clarify the reproduction and migration of hexactinellid sponges, Wu also brought the fossils abroad for more in-depth compar
