China lights up ‘super microscope’ hopes with world-leading electron gun beam (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By observing matter at the atomic scale, the Hefei Advanced Light Facility could drive breakthroughs in microchips The Hefei Advanced Light Facility (HALF) in central China’s Anhui province fired its first electron beam on September 20. Bunches of electrons generated by the gun were accelerated by a 192-metre (630-foot) linear accelerator until they reached 2.2 billion electron volts, marking a milestone for the fourth-generation light source project.
China’s handheld submarine detector tracked a subway train underground (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The tiny device is the size of a pencil and uses just 5 watts of power but can record a train braking into a station under a city street The device, developed by Peng Xinhua and colleagues at the University of Science and Technology of China, is described in a study published on September 14 in Acta Physica Sinica. Though it is scarcely larger than a pencil and draws only 5 watts of power, it can isolate the magnetic disturbance caused by a moving train in the Earth’s vast background field, clea
World first: Chinese plant extracts critical rare metals from lithium waste (opens the original)

500-tonne production line up and running for rubidium and caesium, critical to advanced technology including aerospace and quantum computing A demonstration line in Jiangxi province – the world’s first with an annual capacity of 500 tonnes for continuous tower extraction and separation of low-grade rubidium and caesium – has achieved stable production, according to the Institute of Process Engineering under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Chinese scientists develop oil refining method that may cut energy use by 90% (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new process, which works at a molecular level, may also produce higher value end-products, ranging from petrol to plastics If the technology used in the study could be scaled up for industry, it would not only greatly reduce production costs and emissions, but also make the process more precise and boost product value. Crude oil cannot be turned directly into petrol or plastics. Instead, refineries must separate it into different parts before each one can be put to good use – one of the most
Chinese team achieves fourfold leap in fuel-cell power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The proton-transfer breakthrough could improve hydrogen vehicles and space systems, while reducing the use of costly platinum Chinese scientists have developed a way to generate a fourfold increase in power output of hydrogen fuel cells, an advance that could broaden their use from road vehicles to space missions. PEMFCs operate at relatively low temperatures, generally between 60 and 80 degrees Celsius (140 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit). They can convert about 50 to 60 per cent of the energy in th
