Summary:
This report compiles important developments of forward-looking industries from May 16, 2022 to May 22, 2022, mainly involving cutting-edge tracks in the fields of future information, future biology, new generation manufacturing, new energy and environmental protection. Among them, important information includes:
New silicon-based optoelectronic on-chip integration system came out. Wang Xingjun, a professor at Peking University, and John E. Bowers, a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, reported a new silicon-based optoelectronic on-chip integration system driven by an integrated microcavity optical comb for the first time in the world. The research team has completed the efficient parallel of large-scale integrated system, opened the “last mile” of optical comb from laboratory to industrialization, made it possible for this technology to be applied on a large scale, and is expected to be directly applied to data center, 5 / 6G communication, automatic driving, optical computing and other fields, so as to provide a new research paradigm and development direction for the next generation on-chip optical electronic information system. Relevant research results were published in the journal Nature.
The determination of the first zinc metal “chaperone” will open up a new field of biological exploration. American researchers found the first zinc metal chaperone protein and named it zinc regulated GTPase metalloprotein Activator 1 (zng1). It can transport zinc to the protein that needs it. Without zng1, zinc cannot play a role. The results reveal the key mechanism that all organisms are used to transport trace elements necessary for survival, help to solve the public health problem of zinc deficiency, and open up a new field of biological exploration. Relevant research results were published in the journal Cell and cell reports.
The general office of the State Council printed and distributed the national health plan for the 14th five year plan. The plan proposes that by 2025, the public health service capacity will be significantly enhanced, a number of major disease hazards will be controlled and eliminated, the quality of medical and health services will be continuously improved, the supporting capacity related to medical and health and the development level of health industry will be continuously improved, the National Health policy system will be further improved, and the per capita life expectancy will continue to increase by about one year on the basis of 2020; By 2035, the average life expectancy will be over 80 years old. The plan defines seven tasks: one is to firmly weave the public health protection network; Second, all-round intervention in health problems and influencing factors; Third, ensure people’s health in the whole cycle; Fourth, improve the quality of medical and health services; Fifth, promote the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional Chinese medicine; Sixth, make the health industry better and stronger; Seven is to strengthen national health support.
The Boeing starship flew to the international space station. NASA officially announced that the Boeing starliner docked with the international space station at 20:28 EDT on May 20. Boeing CST-100 interstellar passenger ship is a spacecraft developed by Boeing for NASA’s commercial manned Addsino Co.Ltd(000547) program. Boeing’s successful docking with the space station has become the second commercial organization to send American astronauts into space after SpaceX.
Ultra thin fuel cells use the body’s own sugar to generate electricity. Researchers from MIT and Munich University of technology in Germany have designed a new glucose fuel cell. The electrolyte is made of cerium dioxide, which can directly convert glucose into electrical energy. The thickness of the battery device is only 400 nm, about 1 / 100 of the diameter of human hair The core of the new battery is made of ceramic and can withstand temperatures up to 600. If embedded in a medical implant, the fuel cell can remain stable during the high-temperature sterilization required by the implanted device. The sugar containing power supply generates about 43 micro watts of power per square centimeter, realizing the highest power density of glucose fuel cell so far. Relevant research results were published in the journal advanced materials.
