How does technology provide precise data support for the "preventive conservation" of cultural relics? An Italian student from Henan University, recently visited the Longmen Grottoes Academy to learn about the application of the monitoring and early warning system, laser cleaning, 3D printing, and other technologies in the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage.
Camilla Quaranta, an Italian student from Henan University, recently visited the Longmen Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Luoyang city, central China's Henan province, to trace the pulse of Chinese civilization through millennia-old stone carvings. Standing before the stolen and weathered Buddha statues, she saw how technology "mends" the irreparable loss, restoring damaged sculptures to their former glory.
The completion rate of China's main framework of the national integrated transportation network will be raised from the current 91 percent to 95 percent by 2030, Xu Chengguang, vice minister of transport, said at a press conference in Beijing on July 21.
Recently, China's first hundred-tonne exhaust steam ejector completed its first operation cycle. The ejector recovers the large amount of waste heat generated by thermal power to use for heating in cities.
In a production workshop of Harbin Turbine Company Ltd. in Heilongjiang province, northeast China, huge digital screens display real-time data on production progress, the operating status of equipment and quality inspection, updated in milliseconds.
This vision is becoming a reality, with measures carried out nationwide to integrate technology and industry, providing the "maximum driver" for modernization.
Dubbed the "next new three," China's AI, robotics and innovative pharmaceuticals industries are gaining momentum rapidly.
In the Bohai Sea, a robot slowly crawls on the seabed to find exposed submarine cables and bury them again. This is the new smart way to lay submarine cables and maintain them, developed by a research team from Dalian Jiaotong University, focusing on intelligent sensing and control technologies of rail transport.
In two months, a series of measures have been rolled out across the country for platform construction, talent cultivation, diversified capital investment as well as institutional reform.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum in Hangzhou is using new technologies to show more culture and information to visitors, bringing more immersive experiences.
The Fengshan Water Gate is an important part of the Grand Canal in Hangzhou. Managers now build a four-color alert system to monitor the condition and ensure the safety of the gate.
In a recent interview, Diao Changyu, vice dean of the Cultural Heritage Institute of Zhejiang University shared with Chinese and foreign youth how China's digital technology empowers its protection of cultural relics.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is no relic of the past—it lives and breathes with the people. Join Chinese and foreign youth to see how this ancient waterway weaves into modern urban life, and feel the warmth and vitality of a living heritage that continues to flow with the city!
How is cutting-edge tech breathing new life into China's Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal inscribed on the UNESCO's world heritage list? Join Chinese and foreign youth to uncover the secrets of digital twins and smart systems protecting this ancient waterway, and see how technology keeps millennia‑old wisdom flowing into the future!
On July 16, the Signing Ceremony of the Agreement on the Establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization (WAICO) was held in Shanghai. Representatives from 29 countries, including Kazakhstan, Laos, Pakistan, Russia and Indonesia, signed the agreement as founding members.
To promote international exchange and cooperation, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence (AI) Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance is being held in Shanghai from July 17 to 20, themed “AI Partnership for a Brighter Future.”
The Grand Canal has been flowing for 2,500 years. It still carries boats and water, and it still runs through cities. But keeping it in working order requires more than traditional maintenance today. It requires laser scanning to assess the state of every stone, sensors to detect the slightest movement, and data to make sense of it all. Abubaker Hayaty, a doctoral student at Zhejiang University, has spent years studying how cultures communicate. His friend Ke Ning works at the Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum Cluster and knows the canal's history intimately. Both have spent years around this waterway. But the technology now being used to protect it is new to both of them.
At a recent policy briefing in Beijing on promoting and improving people's well-being through high-quality development, Yin Hejun, minister of science and technology, elaborated on the key tasks for building China's strength in science and technology during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030) while giving a systematic overview of the achievements in sci-tech innovation and the new situations and challenges.
Since the national sci-tech conference in June 2024 underscored the importance of sci-tech modernization and innovation in pursuing Chinese modernization and high-quality development, China has entered the fast lane in building a strong country in science and technology. Its sci-tech strength has achieved overall improvement, and its innovation momentum has shifted from scaling up to a leap in quality and efficiency. The overall efficiency of the national innovation system continues to rise.
Organoids are mini lab-grown organs that help test drugs without human trials. But their cultivation has long been a gamble — poor consistency and lack of standards have blocked their clinical use.
