Nobel Laureate Ting: Shenzhou-5, China's pride
BEIJING, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- It is China's pride to accomplish such achievements as the successful launch of the Shenzhou-5 spacecraft, said Nobel Physics Prize Winner Samuel Chao Chung Ting here Tuesday.
Ting, a world-famous Chinese-American physicist, made this statement at a forum held by China's Foreign Affairs College.
At his lecture on seeking antimatter in space, Ting discussed his research project on an updated version of a high energy particle detector called Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer for the International Space Station.
Ting said this research project, involving scientists from the United States, China and many other countries, will be the only science experiment on the International Space Station, and the device will be used to detect such high energy particles as antimatter to explore the secrets of the universe.
