The Chinese city of Dalian has just switched on a world-leading new energy storage system, expected to supply enough power for up to 200,000 residents each day, with an initial capacity of 400 MWh and output of 100 MW.
-
Discarded electronics can be a gold mine – literally. Researchers have developed an efficient new way to use graphene to recover gold from electronic waste, without needing any other chemicals or energy.
-
Scientists in China have set a new world record for the strongest steady magnetic field ever generated on Earth. The hybrid magnet managed to produce a field measuring 45.22 Tesla (T), which is over a million times stronger than the planet’s own.
-
Astronomers have measured the strongest magnetic field ever found in the universe. The honor goes to a powerful type of neutron star, with a surface magnetic field of over 1.6 billion Tesla.
-
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that Earth’s inner core may be stranger than we thought. Rather than a plain solid, new simulations suggest it exists as a superionic state of matter, partway between a liquid and a solid.

When learning to ride horses, equestrians have to become proficient in relaying cues to the animal via subtle changes in their riding posture. And while the horse can't tell them if they're doing so correctly, a new "smart" saddle possibly could.
-
Good news for fusion energy progress and a new world record for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as its Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), or "artifical sun," maintains 70 million degrees Celsius (126 million °F) for 1,056 seconds.
-
New research out of China has uncovered a natural compound in grape seeds that takes aim at dysfunctional senescent cells, and demonstrated how it can extend the lifespan of aging mice by more than nine percent.
-
For people with coronary heart disease, regular monitoring of bloodstream cholesterol levels is essential – and it typically requires the drawing of blood samples. A new system, however, is claimed to provide the same data simply by imaging the skin of the hand.
-
Scientists in China have come up with a new design for the membrane of redox flow batteries that solves some key shortcomings and takes the technology closer to realizing its potential as a storage solution for renewable energy.
-
Given the fact that they live in an environment full of brown tree trunks and green leaves, giant pandas' black-and-white coloration may seem counterintuitive. According to a new study, however, it really does help them blend into their surroundings.
-
Scientists in China have developed a novel technology that turns CO2 into starch in a highly efficient manner, which could lead to massive savings when it comes to land and water use, and damage to the environment.
