As the world braces for a potential El Nino event later this year, China has unveiled a significant upgrade to the "MAZU" early warning system, a cloud-based meteorological platform designed to help countries, particularly developing ones, better anticipate and respond to extreme weather.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) on Tuesday revealed an artificial intelligence (AI) model system supporting scientific research, empowering multiple scientific domains including mathematics, physics and biology. This marks a transition in AI-driven scientific research from fragmented and isolated exploration toward collaborative, efficient and platform-based innovation.

Chinese research institutions have recently completed a demonstration of space metal 3D printing technology in orbit, with potential applications in space manufacturing and maintenance.

Recently, the 4th 2026 Smart Archives Technology Conference was held in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA, also known as Beijing E-Town). At the event, Dangdang (Beijing) Digital Technology Co., Ltd., an enterprise based in Beijing E-Town, launched a new electronic accounting archives system. The company jointly established the Dangan OPC Community Strategic Cooperation Alliance with institutions including the Beijing Archives Society, and exhibited at the concurrent 4th 2026 Smart Archives Technology Expo.

From a humanoid robot half-marathon in Beijing to the global spotlight of the Beijing Auto Show and the debut of DeepSeek-V4, Chinese technological milestones have dominated international headlines over the past week.

By the end of March this year, China had registered 5.53 million valid invention patents, remaining the world's top filer of patents for several consecutive years.

Friday marks China's 11th Space Day, shining a light on a string of remarkable new achievements in the country's aerospace sector, including new findings from Chang'e-5 lunar samples, the launch schedule for the Tianwen-3 planetary exploration mission, and international cooperation on the Xihe-2 solar observation mission.

Chinese scientists have discovered two new lunar minerals from the lunar samples brought back by China's Chang'e-5 mission.

Imagine trying to understand a bustling city by looking at satellite images of its buildings. While you may be able to see the shapes, you have no idea which structure is a hospital, a school, or a power plant. That, in essence, has been the challenge for doctors treating complex brain disorders like Parkinson's disease, depression, or Alzheimer's. Conventional MRI scans show the brain's structure — tumors, atrophy, or bleeding — but not the function of its 140 billion neurons.

With the rise of intelligent agent tools like OpenClaw, developers around the world are increasingly turning to Chinese AI models. According to OpenRouter, the world's largest AI model aggregation platform, Chinese models have surpassed their overseas counterparts in application programming interface (API) calls for a month running, consistently ranking among the global leaders in API call volume.
