中国成了11月5号出版的《科学》杂志新闻栏目的主角。总计12篇新闻,有中国有关的新闻占了4篇,占新闻总数的33%。
第一篇与中国有关的新闻是肖传国的肖氏反射弧手术因在中国受到质疑而影响在美国的研究。

A running 5-year medical brawl in China has spilled over into Michigan, where it has delayed a clinical trial about to enroll patients. The trial, based at the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, aims to surgically reroute the nerves of spina bifida patients to give them control of their bladder. Principal investigator Kenneth Peters confirmed last week that the U.S. National Institutes of Health—which is funding the work—has asked for a review.

第二篇讲中国的地质灾害问题。
Hao Xin
Just before midnight on 7 August, heavy rains in the mountains north of Zhouqu, in western China's Gansu Province, unleashed a torrent of mud, boulders, and rubble on the slumbering town. Like many settlements in mountainous regions, Zhouqu is built on an alluvial fan from earlier debris flows. The August disaster was the 12th damage-causing event since 1823. Researchers estimated that some 25 million cubic meters of loose rock and sediment had accumulated in two gullies north of town. Human activities like quarrying contributed to the precarious mass, but most of it, researchers believe, was deposited by landslides and rockfalls after a big earthquake in 1879. The findings suggested that debris flows could strike more than 100 years after a major quake.

第三篇讲中国超级计算有硬件无软件的尴尬。
Richard Stone and Hao Xin
China's new supercomputer, Tianhe-1A, is also the world's fastest, topping by 47% the current titleholder, the Jaguar XT5 system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. But while Chinese officials are hailing the 2.5-petaflops supercomputer as an example of indigenous innovation, some Chinese researchers are troubled by another fact: The number of their colleagues able to tap even a thimbleful of the machine's power is surely minuscule.
第四篇介绍了中国在神经科学上的科研成果。

A research team in China has created the most detailed three-dimensional map yet of all the connections between the neurons in a complete mouse brain. The project, unveiled this week online in Science, hasn't revealed any major surprises so far, but its data and the new automated instrument that produced the brain atlas provide an important foundation for future studies, researchers say.
