Tengchong Science Award
Pan Jianwei mainly conducts research in quantum optics, quantum information, and the testing of fundamental quantum mechanics. His pioneering experimental work in multi-particle interferometry and free-space quantum transport has made the superiority of secure global quantum communication and quantum computing a reality.
Xue Qikun led his team to experimentally discover the quantum anomalous Hall effect for the first time using special magnetic topological insulator thin films. This is an important physical phenomenon independently observed by Chinese scientists through experiments and a significant scientific discovery in the field of global basic research. Their team also discovered for the first time the interface-enhanced high-temperature superconductivity
Xie Xiaoliang is one of the founders of single-molecule biophysical chemistry and a pioneer in coherent Raman scattering microscopy imaging technology and single-cell genomics. The whole genome amplification technology invented by his team has enabled tens of thousands of families with single-gene genetic diseases to successfully prevent the disease from passing on to their offspring.
Lu Yuming is internationally recognized as a global pioneer in the field of liquid biopsy, especially a pioneer in non-invasive prenatal testing. In 1997, he was the first to discover the presence of free fetal DNA in pregnant women's plasma, and subsequently developed a non-invasive testing method for Down syndrome. He successfully applied non-invasive prenatal diagnostic technology from scientific research to clinical diagnosis, revolutionizing the modern prenatal diagnosis and treatment model in hospital obstetrics and gynecology.
Zhang Feng is one of the pioneers of CRISPR-Cas gene editing technology. In 2013, he successfully applied this technology to gene editing in mammalian and human cells. In the following decade, a large number of pioneering studies were conducted, applying related technologies and systems for the first time to large-scale gene screening and pathogen nucleic acid detection.
