I think he is the best oneS (of many brilliant mathematicians) in China
then they are many of them, especially those senior returned to China

Yifeng Liu joined the IASM as a permanent member in June 2021. He obtained his bachelor's degree from Peking University in 2007 and his doctorate from Columbia University in 2012. He was a C.L.E. Moore Instructor at MIT (2012—2015), an Assistant Professor at Northwestern University (2015—2018), an Associate Professor and then a Professor at Yale University (2018—2021) right before joining the IASM.
Yifeng's research areas include Algebraic Number Theory, Automorphic Forms, and Algebraic Geometry, especially in the arithmetic aspect of the Langlands program. He received a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2017 and was awarded the 2018 SASTRA-Ramanujan Prize shared with Jack Thorne.
MIT News: New lightweight material is stronger than steel
Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities.
The new material is a two-dimensional polymer that self-assembles into sheets, unlike all other polymers, which form one-dimensional, spaghetti-like chains. Until now, scientists had believed it was impossible to induce polymers to form 2D sheets.
Such a material could be used as a lightweight, durable coating for car parts or cell phones, or as a building material for bridges or other structures, says Michael Strano, the Carbon P. Dubbs Professor of Chemical Engineering at MIT and the senior author of the new study.
MIT postdoc Yuwen Zeng is the lead author of the study.
Isn't this just a glorified certificate? From what I know there hasn't been a final decision to use it
I don't know. Since David Cameron stepped down, the UK governments had been dragging their feet. I thought they want to kill it.
I am wondering how much money UK has sunk into the project. Perhaps the Brits are having a second thought after one of their power companies suggested them to hug pets in nights to keep warm?
they come out with this sort of news all the time and 99.9999999999% of these materials are unusable due to problems with forming them into shapes, chemical resistance, UV resistance, temperature resistance, cost, etc. Even older 'supermaterials' like PEEK are almost completely unusable except for ultra high performance scientific and industrial applications due to extreme cost and difficulty in forming.

It's funny how some members in here will use a minority opinion as being the actual truth as in recent a report that China lags behind the US in AI. Would it be surprising that if it were a majority opinion, they would be using that as proof of its validity? Fact is AI needs access to data. In the US Americans are very protective of their personal data being used without their permission. Does that look like a friendly environment for AI? Google was criticized for working with China on AI as if Google were the more important partner. Your AI isn't going to learn without data so where are you going to go to develop your AI when it needs data?
