BEIJING, May 24 (Xinhua) -- The following is a summary of published science and technology news of China.

EXPEDITION ON MOUNT QOMOLANGMA

A Chinese expedition team reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma on Tuesday, as they look to carry out scientific research on the world's highest peak.

The expeditionists departed the assault camp at an altitude of 8,300 meters at 3 a.m. Tuesday and arrived at the 8,830-meter weather station -- the highest of its kind in the world -- after eight hours of arduous climbing.

FOSSIL DISCOVERY

Chinese scientists have discovered fossils of the Himalayasaurus, a prehistoric deep-sea predator, approximately 4,000 meters above sea level in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

This latest discovery will further our understanding of the largest known prehistoric animal found on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and will contribute to the study of the evolution of life in the region during the Mesozoic Era.

SEAFOOD RESEARCH

A team of Chinese researchers has been seeking to develop tissue-like cultured fish fillets for human consumption, combining fish muscle fibers and adipocytes with 3D-printed gel.

The research offers potential possibilities for the future supply of meat and animal protein, and has important implications for the conservation of marine fish stocks, said the research team.
