中新网北京9月29日电 (记者 孙自法)中国科学院9月29日在北京举行新闻发布会,正式启动实施科学前沿极限突破计划,并向全球科学界发出直面“极限之问”、共筑“开放之桥”、拥抱“变革之势”的倡议,呼吁推动全球科研共同体深度协作。
中国科学院副院长周琪致辞表示,启动实施科学前沿极限突破计划,是中国科学院以更大力度加强基础研究的切实举措。该计划聚焦引领科研范式变革、开辟新前沿新方向的重大方向和科学问题,以重大科技基础设施开放联用和人工智能赋能科学研究为抓手,组织优势力量进行体系化、建制化的科技攻关,支撑科学家在重大科学前沿问题和关键核心技术上取得原创性、引领性突破。
中国科学院基础科学研究局局长魏志祥介绍,科学前沿极限突破计划鼓励该院内外乃至全球优秀科学家,充分利用大科学装置及人工智能平台和网络,更好彰显多学科优势,集聚人才、平台和资源,大幅提升科研效能;试点实施与极限突破性科学研究工作相适应的评价方式,减少预设目标和过程干预,不唯论文产出和短期成果,将“宽容失败”落到实处。
科学前沿极限突破计划围绕和聚焦“极宏观、极微观、极端条件和极综合交叉”(“四极”)方向,通过大科学装置联动与AI赋能的深度融合,对体系化攻关或自由探索等不同特点和性质的科研项目,施行分类合理、长短结合、动态稳定的支持方式。
当天发布会上,科学前沿极限突破计划公布首批启动10个项目,包括聚焦新元素合成、暗物质暗能量本质、化学键微观测量、人工合成细胞等“四极”方向前沿问题。下一批拟重点关注的领域方向也同时发布,明确将重点支持物质科学、生命科学、地球系统科学、空间科学等领域,力求在关系国计民生和国家长远发展的关键领域产出一批具有世界影响的重大原创成果。
根据科学前沿极限突破计划倡议,直面“极限之问”方面,共同攻克一批突破人类认知的重大科学问题,在“无人区”破解未解之谜。
共筑“开放之桥”方面,中国科学院将大科学装置与科学数据资源向全球有序开放共享,让极限实验条件惠及全球科研工作者,推动全球科研共同体深度协作。
拥抱“变革之势”方面,主动拥抱人工智能驱动的科研新范式,加速从“经验试错”到“智能预测”的变革,共同开辟科学探索的新疆域。
中国科学院表示,愿与全球科学家一道,共同构建长周期、高容错的协同攻关机制,鼓励跨学科、跨部门深度合作,支持原始创新不断取得新突破。

The China Meteorological Administration held a press conference in October and announced that the current El Niño is continuing to develop and is expected to form the strongest super El Niño event in the history of monitoring records, which will have a significant impact on my country's autumn and winter climate and next spring and summer climate.

Research from Tohoku University in Japan found that during the rapid eye movement (REM) period of dreaming in mice, brain blood flow surges, but the concentration of available energy ATP in nerve cells plummets abnormally, indicating that the brain is undergoing intensive internal calculations and memory organization.
An exhibition and briefing on new achievements in Oracle research was held in Anyang, Henan on the 29th. The latest achievements in Oracle's monographs, papers and digitization in the past four years were announced, demonstrating the combination of traditional academics and modern technology.
A press conference on the progress of the restoration of portraits at the Jiahu site and the transformation of research results was held in Zhengzhou on the 29th. For the first time, a restored portrait of a male ancestor aged 25 to 30 years old from the Jiahu site was unveiled. The site dates back to about 9,000 to 7,500 years ago, and the world's earliest playable musical instrument, a bone flute, was unearthed.
