Chinese nationals in Pakistan are in as much danger as other foreigners. In the aftermath of a tentative cease-fire between Pakistan and Taliban radicals in the beleaguered Swat Valley, militants there released Long Xiaowei, a Chinese engineer abducted six months ago - an incident that drew unusually forceful language from Beijing...

Wang resolved to do something about it, and in 2000 Shanghai University's glass studio was launched. It was headed by Zhuang Xiaowei, who had just returned from a two-year M.A. at Wolverhampton. That same year, another professor, Wang Jianzhong, set up undergraduate and graduate glass programs at Beijing's Tsinghua University, with Wolverhampton's assistance. Together, these two courses and their graduates formed the roots of Chinese contemporary glass...

According to Xie, these results may ultimately help to explain how the same genes can produce different phenotypes, a problem that has baffled biologists. Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Physics Xiaowei Zhuang, who does research in the same area, said she was excited about the new possibilities opened by Xie’s research. “Watching individual proteins being synthesized offers great opportunities for further research,” Zhuang said. “Single molecule detection is still...
