SCI & TECHAug 11China is pitching its AI models to Europe, but is it enough to avoid 2-horse race with US?As the United States and China consolidate their dominance in artificial intelligence, attention is turning to whether Europe can carve out a distinct third pole – a “G3” – or remain in Washington’s technological orbit. The race is rapidly evolving into a contest over international order. In June, Washington signed up 10 more partners for its Pax Silica framework – designed to secure supply chains for key advanced technologies such as microchips and AI – bringing the total to 24. Weeks later, 29...South China Morning Post
SCI & TECHAug 11China says US tried to buy superconductor magnet that ‘outperforms American ones by 40%’A US laboratory that once dominated the field of superconducting magnets is now hoping to buy Chinese technology used in a leading particle accelerator, official Chinese media reported on Tuesday. The US Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory once “monopolised” this type of specialised technology, according to Science and Technology Daily. But in May last year it contacted the Chinese Institute of High Energy Physics “hoping to purchase the Chinese-made combined superconducting...South China Morning Post

SCI & TECHAug 11Tougher than armour, hard as diamond: China’s unbreakable crystal breakthroughChinese scientists have created a diamond with no Achilles’ heel – one that cannot be broken, even by a hard knock with a hammer – according to a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Synthesis. While a diamond is the hardest natural material on Earth, it has a major weakness. It is brittle, like glass, and a sharp blow can shatter it. For years, scientists have tried to make diamonds tougher without losing their legendary hardness. Typically, increasing one characteristic has...South China Morning Post
SCI & TECHAug 10China is building nuclear reactors faster than the West. Can it keep up the pace?When Francois Morin, China director at the World Nuclear Association – a leading international industry body – took a group of foreign nuclear engineers to a Shanghai Electric plant last year, the scale of production caught them off guard. Heavy machinery, from steam generators to reactor cores, was already assembled and ready for shipment to sites where construction had not even begun. The equipment towered over the delegates, many of whom were accustomed to supply chains back home that produce...South China Morning Post

SCI & TECHAug 10Can CATL’s battery breakthrough push flying cars closer to a commercial reality in China?Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd (CATL), the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) battery maker, has thrown its weight behind flying cars after its aviation battery system cleared a major safety test. A successful roll-out of passenger-carrying drone batteries, backed by CATL’s innovation drive and manufacturing heft, would bolster China’s leading position in the renewable energy sector and the future of mobility, according to analysts. “The aviation battery system is ready for mass...South China Morning Post
SCI & TECHAug 10China releases powerful DNA-screening AI tool for free to help fight rare diseasesFor people navigating rare diseases, which are mostly genetic in origin, the search for answers is a gruelling marathon often called the “diagnostic odyssey”. Patients can spend years visiting specialists and undergoing inconclusive tests, while the underlying cause of their condition remains hidden within three billion base pairs of DNA in the human genome. But Artificial intelligence is emerging as a tool to shorten this time frame. Chinese researchers have created an open-source AI system...South China Morning Post

SCI & TECHAug 9Matter of pure force: US, Israeli physicists hail China’s glueball discovery as ‘triumph’The international physics community has hailed a Chinese-led discovery as a “triumph” after researchers presented the strongest evidence yet for the existence of the “glueball” – a mysterious particle made of pure force. On Chinese social media, the conversation centred on whether the research could lead to a Nobel Prize. The announcement was made last week at the International Conference on High Energy Physics in Natal, Brazil. Made entirely of gluons – the tiny, massless carriers of the force...South China Morning Post
