On the 29th, the National Natural Science Foundation of China released the "Top 10 Scientific Advances in China" for 2023. The "Top 10 Scientific Advances in China" for 2023 mainly focus on life sciences and medicine, artificial intelligence, quantum, astronomy, chemical energy and other scientific fields.
The "Top Ten Advances in Chinese Science in 2023" include: breakthroughs brought by artificial intelligence models for accurate weather forecasting, revelation of the mechanism of human genome dark matter driven aging, discovery of the existence and rhythm regulation mechanism of the brain's "tangible" biological clock, analysis and application of crop salt alkali tolerance mechanism, new methods for precise manipulation of single base to ultra large fragment DNA, revelation of new mechanisms for the initiation of human cell DNA replication, "Lasso" discovery of the brightest gamma burst in history with extremely narrow jets and billions of electron volts photons, Bose coding error correction to extend quantum bit lifetime, revelation of light sensing regulation of blood glucose metabolism mechanism, and discovery of new mechanisms for lithium sulfur battery interface charge storage aggregation reaction.
The event was hosted by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), undertaken by the High Technology Research and Development Center (Basic Research Management Center) and Science Communication and Achievement Transformation Center of NSFC, and co organized by China Basic Science, Science and Technology Herald, Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Science Foundation and Science Bulletin. China Basic Science and others recommended more than 600 scientific research achievements officially published from December 1, 2022 to November 30, 2023. Nearly 100 experts in related disciplines selected 30 achievements from them. On this basis, more than 2100 high-level experts in basic research fields, including academicians of the CAS Member and CAE Member, were invited to vote on 30 achievements, and 10 major scientific research achievements were selected. After consideration by the Advisory Committee of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the list of achievements selected as the "Top Ten Advances in Chinese Science" in 2023 was finally determined.
It is understood that the "Top 10 Scientific Advances in China" selection activity has been successfully held for 19 sessions since its launch in 2005. This activity aims to promote the significant progress of basic research in China, promote the spirit of scientists, inspire the scientific enthusiasm of science and technology workers, carry out scientific popularization, enhance the scientific literacy of the whole population, and lay a solid foundation for promoting the high-quality development of basic research in China and accelerating the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
