  • Decoding Jingdezhen Ceramics with Tech

    When Ozge Atalay, a ceramic art student from Izmir, Türkiye, learned the craft in her own country and Germany, she was taught to work only with her hands. Then she spent half a year in Jingdezhen in east China, renowned as the millennia-old porcelain capital of China, and her Chinese friend Zhao Nan, a young inheritor of Peking Opera facial mask making, showed her otherwise.

  • Radar Tracks Bug Swarms

    For decades, plant protection scientists have been fighting this phenomenon, while working with their hands tied. Traditional insect radars, the only tools capable of tracking these nocturnal high-altitude bugs, had a fatal flaw: a large detection blind zone. Now, after 20 years of painstaking research, a Chinese team has developed a world-leading high resolution, vertically looking radar (VLR), that rewrites the rules of pest monitoring.

  • Deep Sea, Hot Data: China's Cool Fix

    Recently, the world's first commercial underwater data center powered by an offshore wind farm began operation in Shanghai.

  • Biological Conservation a Mission Shared By All

    May 22 is celebrated as the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB). The 2026 theme, "Acting locally for global impact," underscores the importance of applying the whole-of-society approach. China's biodiversity conservation has become a nationwide endeavor where local actors such as communities, enterprises, public organizations and research institutions contribute innovative solutions under government guidance.

  • Smart Auto Manufacturing Driven by 'Data+AI'

    Data and AI-driven reform now spans the entire auto operation process of industry giant China FAW Group Co., Ltd. This was made abundantly clear at the 9th Digital China Summit held in Fuzhou, southeast China's Fujian province in late April, when the company displayed its latest achievements in the digital and intelligent transformation of auto manufacturing.

  • Physical AI Moves from Simulation to Reality

    Fortunately, the wide gap between virtual simulation and real-world execution is closing fast, driven by the advancement of homegrown technology. This breakthrough arrives as China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) prioritizes foundational AI research and technology transfer.

  • Time to Industrialize Chip-scale Atomic Clocks

    Barely the size of a matchbox, the new generation of chip-scale atomic clocks (CSACs) developed by Tianjin Huaxintai Technology Co. is ready to enable precise timekeeping for deep-sea oil exploration, commercial satellites, and smart power grids.

  • Powerful TBM: Digging Deep into the Earth

    Named Gangtie Jiliang, or Steel Backbone, it is the world's first kilometer-scale, vertical shaft, hard-rock, full-face tunnel boring machine (TBM). The revolutionary borer recently wormed its way deep into the ground at an iron ore project site of Ansteel Group Corporation Limited in Anshan, northeast China's Liaoning province.

  • Chinese Electricity Becomes 'Digital Oil' Powering Global AI

    Why can China's invisible electricity, packaged as tokens, drive global AI like "digital oil"? The answer lies in a combination of systemic advantages that make Chinese tokens both abundant and affordable — an edge that is exceptionally hard to replicate.

  • New Neural Disease Treatment Rewires the Brain

    Now, a team of Chinese scientists has unlocked this puzzle. After years of relentless effort, beset by major setbacks, the team led by Professor Liu Hesheng from the Changping Laboratory and Peking University has developed the world's first non-invasive precision brain stimulation system.

  • China Unlocks Bold Tech Transfer Efforts

    As China accelerates its pursuit of high-quality development, the transformation of scientific and technological achievements has become a strategic priority.

  • Largest Observation Network Empowers Agriculture

    China has built the world's largest agrometeorological observation network, according to the China Meteorological Administration (CMA). Latest data from the CMA shows that the meteorological authorities have established a modern agrometeorological observation system, comprising 642 manual observation stations, 738 automatic observation stations, 15 specialized service centers and 91 experimental stations.

  • HEPS: Super Microscope for Micro World

    From above, it looks like a giant magnifying glass. The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), located in Huairou district, Beijing, is China's first high-energy synchrotron light source and Asia's first fourth-generation synchrotron light source, according to Pan Weimin, director of the HEPS project and researcher at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

  • 3MW Gas Turbine Powers New Era of Energy Security

    At a recent industry event, the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) unveiled its latest technological gem: the CGT3, a three-megawatt gas turbine.

  • Giant 'Power Bank' Lights Up E. China

    The first unit of the Tiantai Pumped Storage Power Station in Zhejiang province was officially connected to the grid recently, adding a gigantic "power bank" to east China's electricity network.

  • 6G Development in Critical Phase

    China is accelerating its R&D of 6G technology, a topic discussed by policymakers and industry experts at the recently held fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) and the fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. With key technological breakthroughs having been made, China is now entering the phase of integration of technical solutions and development of prototype machines.

  • High-Altitude Sentinel in Global Climate Fight

    On the peak of Mount Waliguan in northwest China's Qinghai province, at a windswept altitude of 3,816 meters, an unassuming scientific outpost is quietly shaping our understanding of the planet's health. This is the China Global Atmosphere Watch Baseline Observatory that has been monitoring the Earth's temperature for over 30 years.

  • Sci-tech Central to Consumption Upgrades

    ​From immersive experiences to intelligent services, frontier science and technology is deeply integrating into the daily life of Chinese consumers. The integration is now widespread in consumer goods, and driving continuous exploration of new consumption scenarios, ultimately upgrading the consumption industry.

  • Robots Handle Tough Workplaces With Ease

    With no cables visible on its body, an innovative cleaning robot specifically developed for the casting and engine manufacturing industries can withstand harsh industrial conditions like acid and alkali corrosion, high temperatures and humidity.

  • Mapping the Sky: Dunhuang Star Chart

    Dating back to the Tang dynasty (618-907), the Dunhuang Star Chart is one of the earliest known graphical depictions of the night sky in ancient Chinese astronomy. It visually corroborates star-related information recorded in early Chinese texts, and is part of a scroll that includes a series of illustrations found among the Dunhuang manuscripts.
