BEIJING, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- China's Ministry of Science and Technology unveiled the selected top 10 domestic scientific advances of 2020 Saturday.
Chinese scientists' remarkable progress in tackling COVID-19, the Chang'e-5 probe's retrieval of lunar samples, and the deep-sea manned submersible Fendouzhe's diving record topped the list.
Other advances include research on the transmission of human genetic materials, transparent ferroelectric single crystals with ultrahigh piezoelectricity, quantum interference in chemical reactions, as well as biomarkers and potential intervention targets for organ aging in mammals.
