    Abstract: Major research infrastructures (referred to as “major infrastructures”) are the key to innovation in the era of big science, and is an important symbol of a country’s scientific and technological innovation capability and comprehensive national power. In order to seize the commanding point of scientific and technological innovation, the major developed countries have been actively developing and optimizing the layout of major infrastructures, while vigorously promoting the opening and sharing of major infrastructures to achieve the efficient allocation and utilization of scientific and technological resources, transforming their advantages in scientific and technological infrastructures into advantages in innovation and development. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) currently manages 28 major infrastructures that are open to global research users. This study analyzes the current open sharing situation of major infrastructures of the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), and analyzes in-depth the demand, effectiveness, and difficulties of China’s use of major infrastructures of DOE from 2015 to 2022, to provide reference for the open sharing and layout construction of major infrastructure in China.

    Abstract: The rapid development of biotechnology and information technology has brought life sciences into a new era of data explosion. The traditional life science research paradigm struggles to reveal the fundamental rules of complex biological systems from rapidly growing biological big data. As artificial intelligence continues to achieve disruptive breakthroughs in life science, a new paradigm driven by AI is emerging. This study delves into typical examples of life science research driven by AI, proposes the concept and key elements of the new life science research paradigm, elaborates on the cutting-edge of life science research under this new paradigm, and discusses the challenges in China.
