Newly confirmed oil reserves increased by 25% to 1.2 billion tons, and natural gas increased by 68% to 1.4 trillion cubic meters. Crude oil production amounted to 191 million tons, breaking away from the continuous decline since 2016. Production of shale gas, coal seam gas, and coal gas increased overall.

According to the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), the number of people who participated in nationwide science popularization programs reached 892 million, 15.8% more than 2017. By the end of 2018, the country had 1,461 science and technology centers and museums that specialized in popularizing science. Xinhua news release, December 12, 2019
A cap picks up electroencephalograph (EEC) signals and sends them to a computer. Brain patterns, which carry the user’s intent, are decoded by an algorithm on the device. Eventually, the information is converted into instructions and triggers an action. Using this interface, WEI Siwen, a graduate student at Tianjin University, typed 69 characters in one […]
The “Beidou Xinhe” electrocardiograph is suitable for early arrhythmia screening, chronic disease, and daily ECG monitoring of postoperative patients. On the user-side, it does sensing + data transmission storage + AI interpretation. The ECG data are processed by AI interpretation to complete the evaluation of ECG signal quality and ECG. Data of the sensor, which […]
The open-access catalog of biological resources has collected more than 7 million pieces of biological resources data from 76 biological resources libraries in 40 research institutes of the CAS, including biological specimens, plant resources, biological genetic resources, experimental animal resources and biodiversity monitoring network resources. Language is Chinese. https://www.plant.csdb.cn Since the 12th five-year plan, the […]
Within the program, large-scale genomic data will be collected to establish a health care system with predictable, preventative and individual-based medical treatment for the citizens of the UAE. Coordinator is the Abu Dhabi-based Group 42. Xinhua, December 12, 2019
A team around LIU Zhi (CAS Shenyang) and QI Liang (Qingdao University of Science and Technology) has developed a neural-network based system to simulating a doctor’s inquiry and his prescription that is composed by a series of herbs. It can automatically simulate some principles and learns the interaction between symptoms and herbs from clinical records of […]
According to the journal, these are: developing clonal seeds from hybrid rice WANG Kejian, from the China National Rice Research Institute and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, conducted simultaneous genome engineering of meiosis and fertilization genes to develop the clonal seeds A slurry tunnel-boring machine challenged a cross-sea project A 12.26m diameter slurry tunnel […]
The group of ZHAO Zongbao has built an E.coli cell which uses a non‐natural cofactor and formate driven system for reductive carboxylation of pyruvate. To this end, a formate dehydrogenase (FDH) mutant, FDH*, that favors a non‐natural redox cofactor, nicotinamide cytosine dinucleotide (NCD), generates a dedicated reducing equivalent at the expense of formate. By coupling FDH* […]
YU Shuhong, LIANG Haiwei and colleagues at the University of Science and Technology of China have reported a method for thermally transforming bacterial cellulose into graphitic carbon nanofiber aerogels (CNFAs) through controlled pyrolysis. The carbon aerogel is based on the hierarchical structure of bacterial cellulose, and maintains superelasticity without plastic deformation after 2 × 106 compression […]
