A fleet of 100 electric driverless coal-mining trucks has been put into operation in Mongolia, coordinated by AI running on a 5G-A network. The project is expected to grow, bringing new safety and efficiency to China's coal-mining industry.

Say what you like about Zaha Hadid Architects' evolution in style since its founder passed, but you can't accuse the studio of being boring. Case in point, the Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum, which is defined by its extraordinary futuristic form.

Last year, BYD sold over 4.2 million cars worldwide, with over 90% of those within China. Now it's setting its sights on luxury German carmakers like BMW and Mercedes with the European launch of its high-end Denza brand.

In the ever-shifting winds of "who-did-it-bigger?," China has just taken a back seat to European wind company Siemens Gamesa. The firm recently planted a colossal, world-record-setting turbine in the Østerild test field in Denmark.

The YongLE Risheng CG is a wind/solar motorcycle that sports a roof covered in 250W solar panels to which a wind turbine is mounted. It's not the most aesthetic design we've seen on a motorcycle, but hey, it works... apparently.

Yangwang, the Chinese carmaker that brought us the [Mach 5 inspired?] jumping/dancing U9 electric hypercar, isn't shy when it comes to boasting about the off-kilter feats its vehicles can deliver. This time it's rooftop Wing Chun on the new U7.

The world’s longest quantum communications link has been set up between China and South Africa, spanning a record-breaking 12,900 km (8,015 miles). The connection takes advantage of quantum physics for “unbreakable” encryption.

If you ever travel back in time to the reign of dinosaurs, don’t touch any flowers – it might just be a parasitic wasp in disguise. Analysis of wasps preserved in amber show how the insect ensnared hosts for its larvae with a Venus flytrap-like butt.

China is back with another engineering marvel. This time, in the form of BYD’s new battery system which is capable of an EV with 250 miles (400 km) of range in just five minutes — roughly the same amount of time as refueling an ICE vehicle.

It’s not every day that you see a US$1,000 motorcycle that’s ready to ride as it comes. That’s exactly what we have here in the form of the X-Pro MC-N025, a unique commuter bike that comes from … China. Yep.

The motorcycle world is super hot on semi-automatic and automatic transmissions - KTM's AMT, Yamaha's Y-AMT, and Honda's E-Clutch are a few examples. With a patent for a parallel-twin engine coupled to a belt-operated CVT, CFMoto looks to join the party.

Part of the Ningde "Zero Carbon Island" initiative, this events center is an innovative creation that redefines public spaces. This underground structure transforms a simple viewing platform into a space that deeply connects with nature.
