The Institute of Physics (IOP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), released on Monday the world's first strategic research report focusing on the development of high-temperature superconducting tapes, providing a clear roadmap for the large-scale application of high-temperature superconducting materials.
A new study has revealed that observing Earth from the moon serves as a powerful way of seeing the planet's true, global radiation signature, cutting through the "noise" of local weather to capture its core climate patterns. Published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, this new research endeavor confirms that a moon-based platform effectively overcomes these limitations by providing a permanent, full-disk view of the planet.
For heart patients, the prospect of a lifetime use pacemaker may soon become a reality. A Chinese research team has developed a self-powering pacemaker that generates electricity from the heart's own beats, potentially offering heart patients a lifetime use device and addressing the challenge of battery depletion in medical engineering. The study was recently published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering.
China has successfully conducted its first metal 3D printing experiment in space, a significant leap forward for its in-orbit manufacturing capabilities. The breakthrough experiment was performed by a retrievable scientific payload developed by the Institute of Mechanics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the CAS announced on Saturday.
A group of Chinese researchers has revealed the dynamic formation process of gold nanoparticles on pyrite surfaces, according to a research article published on Thursday in the journal PNAS. Their study shows that a unique "dense liquid layer" at the interface between pyrite and water acts as a "nano-factory," promoting the nucleation, growth and enrichment of gold even in fluids with extremely low gold concentrations, such as 10 parts per billion.
Chinese researchers recently made a breakthrough in ferroelectric materials that promises to dramatically increase information storage density. Their findings were on Friday published in the journal Science.
