The 0.225 nm thick material can be used to create hard or flexible graphene displays, used in electronic products such as e-readers and wearable smart devices. Compared with traditional e-papers, graphene e-paper is more pliable and leads to optical displays of enhanced brightness. China Bio news release, April 28, 2016
According to the International Federation of Robotics, China is already the largest market for robots since 2013. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the government will support Chinese robot producers such as Siasun Robot & Automation Co and Hubei Huachangda Intelligent Equipment Co. to boost international competitiveness through R&D and acquisitions and […]
According to XU Dazhe, Director of the China National Space Administration, China will complete its civilian space infrastructure system including satellite remote sensing, satellite communication and broadcasting, satellite navigation and positioning by about 2030. CAS news release, April 25, 2016
Based on the structural elements of mussel adhesive protein, the group of WAN Xiaobo at CAS Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) produced analogues based on PVP and catechol groups which, after underwater curing, reached a bonding strength of 1.6 MPa. After substituting PVP by PVA and heating at 140 ℃ for 20 […]
Crelux has developed a bi-turbo vector system which allows to express target proteins in parallel in E.coli and insect cells from the same plasmid construct. This procedure helps to produce pure proteins for x-ray structure analysis and for drug discovery purposes. The acquisition is in line with the rapid development of WuXi European operations. China […]
The Chongqing-based institute’s 3D printing research center has finished 93 zero gravity flying tests in France. The printer can produce bigger space parts than the one sent to the International Space Station by NASA late last month and could help China build a space station in 2020 and facilitate its operation and maintenance thereafter. CAS […]
