Seems they want more talents for this...
"Tianjin University has announced the launch of the nation's 1st brain-computer interface (BCI) undergraduate program for its fall semester. BCI technology allows direct communication between the brain and an external device, such as a computer or a prosthetic limb."

Honestly I'm not too fond with extra specialized undergraduate studies. Just put them under EECS specialization or on graduate degree.
Yeah I have to agree with this. A lot of the extra specialized undergrad majors just tend to be money grabs in the US. I doubt it’s any different in China.
Tencent cloud says its APAC region income has increased 50% in past 3 years. It has over 1000 oversea customers, including many large ones like Abu Dhabi government, Indonesian people's bank and French telecom provider Orange.
It's used by Chinese MNC in other countries like Midea using it for intelligent factory in Brazil. JACO using it in Saudi Arabia broadcast.
Also serves BMW, Sanofi and Toyota
There is cooperation between China and Russia in the fast reactor and SMR projects. Russia is helping China with their fast reactor program, and China has been building floating barges for SMRs for Russia.
The Chinese delegation included representatives from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA), the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center (NSC), the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and the Chinese Embassy in Russia.
At the request of the NNSA, on July 2, 2024, in St. Petersburg, a delegation from the People's Republic of China visited nuclear facilities supervised by Rostekhnadzor - the Izhora plant of the engineering division of the Rosatom State Corporation and the Baltic Shipyard JSC.
On July 3, Rostekhnadzor organized a technical tour of the Beloyarsk NPP, where Chinese colleagues inspected the turbine hall, the control room, and the reactor compartment, and also got acquainted with a model of the BN-800 reactor.
In Moscow, the program of the visit on July 4 included a meeting at Rostekhnadzor on issues of regulating the safety of VVER-1200 reactors, a scientific visit to the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Scientific and Technical Center for Nuclear and Radiation Safety” (the scientific and technical support organization for Rostekhnadzor), and a familiarization visit to the Federal State Budgetary Institution “National Research Center Kurchatov Institute”.
On the last day of the Chinese delegation’s visit to Russia, a joint coordination meeting was held under the chairmanship of the heads of the two countries’ government regulatory bodies – Alexander Trembitsky and Dong Baotong.
During the meeting, representatives of the Service acquainted their Chinese colleagues with the practice of regulating the safety of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant and Russian fast neutron power reactors with sodium coolant, and conducting inspections at NPP sites.
In turn, NNSA representatives shared their experience working with the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor and the ACP100 small modular reactor, as well as the specifics of conducting inspections at the Tianwan NPP and Xudapu NPP sites.
During the meeting between the scientific and technical support organizations of Rostekhnadzor and NNSA – the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Scientific and Technical Center of Nuclear and Radiation Safety” and NSC – an additional agreement on cooperation in the field of regulating the safety of thermonuclear fusion was signed.
The Deputy Minister of Environment and Ecology of the People's Republic of China, on behalf of the entire delegation, thanked the leadership of Rostekhnadzor for the high level of organization and conduct of the visit, noting the importance of fruitful and multi-vector cooperation between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China in the field of regulation of nuclear and radiation safety in the field of use of atomic energy, which is a good basis for further effective cooperation.
Nuclear regulators from Russia and China exchange experience in overseeing advanced nuclear projects
From July 1 to July 5, 2024, the Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision organized and conducted an official visit of the delegation of the People's Republic of China, headed by Dong Baotong, Vice Minister of Ecology and Environmental Protection, Director of the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA).The Chinese delegation included representatives from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE), the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA), the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center (NSC), the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and the Chinese Embassy in Russia.

Hong Kong PolyU and others successfully develops 16-bit quantum bit semiconductor microprocessor
University (PolyU) has successfully developed the world's first 16-bit quantum bit semiconductor microprocessor chip for simulation
According to the official website of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, a research team from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has recently successfully developed the world's first 16-bit quantum bit semiconductor microprocessor chip, which provides a new solution for simulating large and complex molecular spectra. The team carefully designed a simulation solution based on quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, while the traditional method requires a lot of computing time. This cutting-edge technology creates conditions for solving complex quantum chemistry problems and also brings new breakthroughs in quantum computing applications.
The research results have been published in Nature Communications, titled "Large-scale photonic networks prepared based on compressed vacuum states for simulation of molecular vibration spectra."
It is reported that the research team used linear photon networks and compressed vacuum quantum light sources to simulate molecular vibration spectra. The 16-bit quantum microprocessor chip was manufactured and integrated on a single chip. The team also developed a complete system, including optoelectronic thermal packaging for quantum photon microprocessor chips and control modules, driver software and user interfaces, as well as programmable underlying quantum algorithms. The developed quantum computer system can apply different computing models.
Quantum microprocessors can be used to handle complex tasks, such as simulating large protein structures or optimizing molecular reactions more quickly and accurately. "Our method can break through traditional limitations and achieve early practical molecular simulations, which is expected to achieve quantum acceleration in related quantum chemistry applications," said Dr. Huihui Zhu, a postdoctoral researcher and the first author of the research paper.
