BEIJING, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) The China-U.S. Agreement on Cooperation in Science and Technology signed in 1979 was one of the first deals reached between Beijing and Washington after the two sides started to normalize their diplomatic ties.
Over the decades, cooperation of the two countries in science and technology, which has seen steady development in scope and scale, has grown into one of the underpinnings of the overall China-U.S. relations.
According to the U.S. National Science Foundation, China and the United States are now each other s biggest international peers in co-authored papers.

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has been operated 3,275 days since all its three experiment halls started running on Dec. 24, 2011.

Scientists will comb through nearly a decade s worth of data from an award-winning international research project in southern China to analyse an elusive subatomic particle that could be the key to understanding the origins of the universe.
The data came from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment in Shenzhen, a collaboration between China and the United States that went on to win the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in 2016.

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment collaboration - which made a precise measurement of an important neutrino property eight years ago, setting the stage for a new round of experiments and discoveries about these hard-to-study particles - has finished taking data. Though the experiment is formally shutting down, the collaboration will continue to analyze its complete dataset to improve upon the precision of findings based on earlier measurements.
