摘要
<正>The upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope will become the largest astronomical observation facility, and is expected to introduce revolutionary changes in major fields of natural sciences. These revolutionary changes help us to answer the fundamental questions related to the origins of the universe, life, cosmic magnetic field, the nature of gravity, and to search for extraterrestrial civilizations[1]. The unprecedented power of the SKA is characterized
