  On January 18, top 10 scientific achievements of China,2010 was announced in Beijing. Two of our research were enlisted, they are Discovery of first antimatter hypernucleus at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Quantum Teleportation over 10 Miles of Empty Space.


   Discovery of first antimatter hypernucleus at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is the achievement of STAR collaboration, our RHIC-STAR collaborator, Dr. Tang Zebo is one of the lead authors of the paper outlining the new discovery.

 

   In the 328 issue of the journal Science(2010)and its Issue Highlights Science Express available online on March 4, the STAR collaboration has published evidence of the most massive antinucleus discovered to date. The new antinucleus is a negatively charged state of antimatter containing an antiproton, an antineutron, and an anti-Lambda particle. It is also the first antinucleus containing an anti-strange quark. This antimatter pushes open the door to new dimensions in the nuclear chart, may help elucidate models of neutron stars. The findings also pave the way towards exploring violations of fundamental symmetries that occurred in the early universe, making possible the very existence of our world.

 

   Another research Quantum Teleportation over 10 Miles of Empty Space was collaborated by Prof. Pan jianwei group from national laboratory for physical sciences at the microscale and Tsinghua University. Find the details at the mews "China's Great (Quantum) Leap--from TIME".
