Between 1993 and 1996, the Russian agency responsible for atomic energy signed agreements with the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, known as CERN, and ...

But one can easily imagine that pullbacks and withdrawals will continue on other large scientific projects, if they haven’t already, to the detriment of international relations generally. He is the author of “The Hunting of the Quark” and a co-author of “Tunnel Visions: The Rise and Fall of the Superconducting Super Collider.” [Michael Riordan](http://plunkettlakepress.com/mr.html) is a physicist who writes about science, technology and public policy. But this scientific camaraderie begins to dissolve when one of the participant nations savagely attacks another. That project led to the discovery in 2012 of the In contrast, Russian scientific institutes have toed the Kremlin line — dependent as they are on its continued support. Although English and French dominate conversations in labs, offices and the cafeteria, national differences seem to melt away amid vigorous technical exchanges and good food. CERN was established in a suburb of Geneva in the early 1950s to promote peaceful cooperation among European nations, which had experienced two disastrous wars during the previous 40 years. Part of the rationale for establishing CERN was to promote international understanding among researchers working toward common scientific goals. What’s more, the European Space Agency has excluded Russia from its planned [ExoMars rover project](https://mars.nasa.gov/mars-exploration/missions/esa-exomars-rover/), despite the yearslong delays that will likely result. The current retreat from Russian involvement in these big projects can in this way easily curtail scientific progress — as well as impair international relations more broadly.

China, MNA | Three scientists on Sunday were awarded the 2022 Future Science Prize, the first Chinese non-governmental science award jointly initiated by ...

It awards scientists who have made significant research achievements in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Li Wenhui, a professor with the Tsinghua University, won the prize in life sciences for discovering hepatitis B and D virus receptor, sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide. He developed new-generation molecular beam techniques with high resolution and sensitivity for state-resolved reaction dynamics studies, revealing quantum resonances and geometric phase effects in chemical reactions.
