Great ideas honored

This year's Future Science Prize recognizes the achievements of three Chinese scientists. Zhang Zefeng reports.

About three weeks after this year's Nobel Prize winners were announced, dozens of world's top scientists, including the 2016 Nobel Prize-winning chemist James Fraser Stoddart gathered in Beijing.

Over the course of two days, they outlined their cutting-edge research in fields such as computer science, neuroscience, astrophysics and materials science, and celebrated this year's winners of the Future Science Prize.
