Landing stably is a precondition for exploring a small celestial body in situ. The surface of a small celestial body frequently has weak gravity and is irregular, and the surface environment is unknown and uncertain. The landing mechanism tends to rebound and turn over, and the landing stability time is long. However, while most landing performance research has focused on lunar landing, there are differences…

Hunyuan, the new AI bot from Tencent, is better at answering Chinese university entrance exams and reportedly suffers fewer "hallucinations"

The "new car smell" that everyone knows and love might actually be a health risk.

The second phase of a high-definition deep-space active observation facility, China Fuyan, which is dubbed as the world's most far-reaching radar system, kicked off in Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, the Global Times learned from the project lead Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) on Tuesday. The second phase of the project, codenamed China Fuyan [faceted eye], will involve building 25 radars with a…

If human beings want to survive on the other planets for a long time, they must first find or set up a safe, stable, and long-term shelter. Lunar lava tubes are geological structures on the moon discovered in recent years. They take the form of hollow pipe-shaped caves formed on the surface of the planet by volcanic activity.

The People's Republic of China's emergence as a global power is rooted in the rapid development of a sovereign innovation infrastructure, one that allows

Researchers have developed a robotic rat that is able to imitate rat behavior well enough to to be accepted by the real thing.

Most antibiotics are natural products of bacteria and other microorganisms from the environment. They are part of a silent chemical warfare among microorganisms in soils, rivers and seas right now. The fact that they are natural products that have been around for millions of years means that even as we discover new antibiotics, there are probably already microorganisms that are resistant to them.

Beijing Institute of Technology researchers unveil a groundbreaking robot control method inspired by the human arm, promising precise and stable space assembly.

In recent years, microfluidics has emerged as a revolutionary technology for biological analysis and medical diagnostics, enabling the precise control and manipulation of fluids at the microscale. At the same time, functionalized magnetic beads have become an indispensable tool for the selective capture and enrichment of target analytes.

China launches first geosynchronous orbit radar satellite China launched what is thought to be the world's first geosynchronous orbit synthetic aperture radar satellite on Saturday.

Computational imaging has the potential to revolutionize optical imaging by providing wide field-of-view and high-resolution capabilities. Joint reconstruction of amplitude and phase—known as "coherent imaging or holographic imaging"—expands the throughput of an optical system to billions of optically resolvable spots. This breakthrough enables researchers to gain crucial insights into cellular and molecular…

A defect is not always a bad thing. In fact, when it comes to improving the electrocatalysis process that produces clean-burning hydrogen gas, it may be a very good thing. Researchers based in China engineered an electrocatalyst—which speeds up a desired reaction—with both amorphous and crystalline architectures that contains defects in the atomic structure. The defects enable the electrocatalyst to trigger…

A recent study found that the interior of a new vehicle contained 20 common "volatile organic compounds" (VOCs), which could potentially contain cancer-causing agents.

As more and more high-tech systems are exposed to the space environment, space weather prediction can provide better protection for these devices. In the solar system, space weather is mainly influenced by solar wind conditions. The solar wind is a stream of supersonic plasma-charged particles which will cause geomagnetic storms, affect short-wave communications, and threaten the safety of electricity and oil…

A review paper by scientists at Zhejiang University summarized the development of continuum robots from the aspects of design, actuation, modeling and control. The new review paper, published on Jul. 26 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, provided an overview of the classic and advanced technologies of continuum robots, along with some prospects urgently to be solved.

High-accuracy spatially and temporally resolved temperature sensing is critical and has broad applications in diverse fields, such as industrial manufacturing, environmental protection, and healthcare monitoring. Optical-based sensors offer attractive solutions for temperature monitoring in biomedical diagnostics, owing to their advantages of remote detection, minimal intrusion, immunity to electromagnetic…

When astronauts enter space, they are exposed to weightlessness. Physiological and psychological challenges are waiting ahead. They may have a puffy face and experience space motion sickness, cardiovascular deconditioning, muscle atrophy, and bone loss.

Scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology have developed an ultra-fast quasi-three-dimensional technology, overcoming the shortcomings of missing information in two-dimensional images and incomplete features, allowing for the analysis of three-dimensional characteristics of ultra-fast processes.

A Chinese team has published new work in Energy Material Advances.
