How did the first generation of galaxies in the universe form? How do they illuminate the dark age and usher in the dawn of the universe? These questions have always been major scientific challenges that the field of astronomy is dedicated to solving. In the early morning of July 7, 2023 (Beijing time), the international academic journal Nature Astronomy published an important achievement of the cooperative research between the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Northeastern University online. Researchers have found that using the one-dimensional power spectrum of the "21 centimeter forest" signal during the dawn of the universe, future square kilometer array radio telescopes will be able to simultaneously reveal the properties of the first generation galaxies and dark matter in the universe. The 21 centimeter spectral line of neutral hydrogen provides a unique detection method for the dawn of the universe and the first generation galaxies. The common observation mode is the 21 centimeter signal measurement using cosmic microwave background radiation as the background source. Early Universe

On July 6, Beijing time, the international scientific journal Nature published the latest research results of China's Tianwen 1. The international cooperative research team led by the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found evidence of the sedimentary sequence changed by the ancient wind field of Mars in the Zhurong landing area, confirming that the sandstorm activity recorded the changes of the ancient environment of Mars with the rotation axis of Mars and the glacial period. Among the planets in the solar system, Mars and Earth are the most similar. The current state and evolution of Mars are believed to represent the future of Earth, and exploration and research on the climate evolution of Mars have long been of great concern. As the most significant geological force on Mars since the Late Amazonian, sandstorms have shaped the widely distributed sandstorm landforms on the surface of Mars, deposited and recorded the late and modern climate and environmental characteristics and climate change processes of Mars. But due to the lack of positioning

At the 2023 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, a research achievement jointly conducted by Shanghai Precision Medical Enterprise Zhiben Medical and Professor Yin Junqiang from the Department of Orthopedics and Oncology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat sen University, titled "The Clinical Value of Individualized Customized Small Residual Lesion Detection in Sarcoma", was selected for the oral report of the Clinical Science Seminar, becoming the only Chinese achievement selected for the Clinical Science Seminar. Research has shown that personalized customized MRD testing can predict the recurrence of sarcoma earlier than imaging, and can be used to predict the efficacy of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy. Sarcoma originates from mesenchymal tissue and often occurs in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, periosteum, and both ends of the long bone. Osteosarcoma is more common in young patients and is more common at both ends of the long bones in the limbs, especially at the lower end of the femur, upper end of the tibia, and upper end of the humerus. Common sarcomas include leiomyoma, lymphosarcoma, and synovial sarcoma
