Features: With the rapid advancement of technology today, new scientific technologies and discoveries are constantly emerging, swiftly entering people's (sights) and rapidly integrating into their lives. In recent years, computers have jumped from "X86" to "Pentium IV"; Windows versions have steadily risen to XP; netizens have gradually (broken free from) the constraints of wired networks and have started using mobile QQ; in the booming real estate market, "all-season spring" constant-temperature apartments have emerged; "green" has become a color loved by everyone. While enjoying the "comfort" brought by technology, social hot topics related to technology have also become "cool": This year, it's so hot in Beijing—is it related to "El Ni?o"? Asteroids have once again "brushed past" Earth; will "red tides" affect our seafood? Foreign cattle have "gone mad," and many cloven-hoofed animals have fallen ill; cloned sheep, cows, pigs, mice, and others have been "born," can humans use cloning technology to "restore" extinct animals? "Nanotechnology," "nanotechnology," nanotechnology is beginning to be applied to many fields; what is anthrax—more and more new knowledge and new topics are presented to the (broad readers). The public's concern for these scientific topics indicates that people's quality of life has improved, and their ways of thinking and concepts have begun to shift—many ordinary people in Beijing who have personally experienced sandstorms have started voluntarily planting trees; many people have started collecting used batteries; many people have started learning about nanomaterials. In fact, having a better grasp of scientific knowledge and understanding scientific laws correctly is for working more effectively and successfully, and living healthier and more rationally. This is the original intention behind our publishing "Science Express," and we hope everyone can "walk alongside science." In "Science Express," you will see 34 hot scientific topics, with content that is lively, interesting, close to life, and arranged in a novel and practical way.
