From field investigations to global conference halls, from environmental advocacy to frontline media briefings, Erik Solheim, chairman of the Europe-Asia Center and former UN under-secretary-general, has long been a driving force in the international push for sustainable development. But during the filming of CGTN's program "China Quest: A Journey Through Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains," the tables turned. This time, Solheim wasn't the one being interviewed. Instead, he took the mic as the interviewer, traveling deep into China to explore the personal stories fueling the country's green transformation. Was this role reversal as seamless as it seemed? What moments of ecological inspiration surfaced through his dialogue with local communities? Step behind the scenes and join us on this revealing and thought-provoking journey.

Researchers at the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory have made a breakthrough in gravitational wave astronomy, finding the first clear evidence that a known black hole merger may have occurred under the influence of a third dense object – possibly a supermassive black hole.

By analyzing data from the 2019 gravitational wave event GW190814, the team identified a subtle "acceleration signature" in the signal, caused by the merged black holes orbiting around a third body. This effect, known as line-of-sight acceleration, alters the gravitational wave frequency via the Doppler effect.

This finding offers valuable clues to solving one of astrophysics' key mysteries – how black hole binaries form and evolve.

On August 5, in Beihai City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a vehicle was struck multiple times by lightning during an intense thunderstorm. The driver stayed inside for about five minutes and remained unharmed. Footage shows flashes illuminating the car's roof as the engine immediately stalled, this was due to the Faraday cage principle – the metal car body reroutes electricity around the cabin to the ground, protecting passengers. While the car may suffer electrical damage, occupants inside are generally safe as long as they avoid touching the metal frame.
