The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Tuesday elected Nobel laureates Andre K. Geim and James Fraser Stoddart along with 14 other scientists as new foreign academicians.
The CAS published the list of 77 newly-elected academicians, 61 Chinese and 16 foreigners on its website, Xinhua reported.
There are now 800 Chinese and 92 foreign academicians at CAS.
The CAS membership is China's highest title in the field of science, and a lifelong honour. New members are recruited every two years.
The CAS and the Chinese Academy of Engineering are the country's top two think tanks to advise the government and industry on key scientific and technological issues.
The Chinese Academy of Engineering also announced its list of newly-elected academicians Monday, which included Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft.
