Chinese scientists proposed a novel imine-to-olefin transformation strategy to synthesize single-crystal sp² carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp²c-COFs).

A group of Chinese researchers have developed a novel self-cleaning electrode by constructing a micro- nanostructure of a highly active catalyst, achieving highly stable synthesis of alkaline-earth Metal peroxide (MO2). This study was published in Nature Nanotechnology on Monday.

A research team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering independently developed a microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) system for single crystalline diamond growth, thus achieving CVD single crystalline diamond industrial production via domestic equipment for the first time.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE)​, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), this special issue features NIMTE's state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of materials science and engineering. We established an academic committee with Prof. Qunji Xue, a Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), as the advisor. Prof. Liping Wang, the president of NIMTE, Prof. Tao Chen, and Prof. Zhiyi Lu as guest editors are responsible for the issue. The special issue showcases a collection of Reviews reflecting the remarkable contributions of NIMTE faculty members, covering a wide range of hot topics in materials science and their highly important applications.

In a monumental leap forward for space research, Chinese scientists have unveiled pioneering methods to extract ample water from lunar soil following an analysis of samples retrieved by China's Chang'e-5 mission, marking a major breakthrough that could revolutionize future moon missions.

Deemed as a promising new quality productive force, the new material industry serves as a cornerstone for the equipment and manufacturing sectors, which are essential to driving the country's economic growth.

Chinese researchers have developed a new method of massive water production through the reaction between lunar regolith and endogenous hydrogen. Their study was published in the journal The Innovation on Thursday.

Docked at the Quanzhou port in east China's Fujian Province, after completing three oil delivery trips, is a very large crude carrier (VLCC) with a deadweight tonnage of 300,000 tonnes, equipped with a bionic skin propeller.

Chinese scientists have developed a highly-flexible and electrically-stable material that may effectively improve the performance stability of smart wearables.
