New Semester New Start

As the old Chinese saying goes, “A year's plan depends on spring”. The spring semester brings us plenty of opportunities to explore, grow and develop. With Director Jie Zhangs inspiring remarks at TDLI General Meeting, a grand picture for the new year was already open for you to create.

Tian Wen Science Panorama Completed

Inspired by the classical Chinese poetry "Tianwen" (simplified Chinese: 天问; pinyin: Tiānwèn), the Tian Wen Science Panorama is a 600-meter-long scroll designed by Director Jie Zhang and jointly created by all researchers at TDLI. It portrays the 13.8-billion-year evolution of the universe, as well as humanity's quest to understand the cosmic laws. The Panorama embodies the spirit of inquiry of TDLI members, who strive to push the boundaries of knowledge and explore the natural limits.
