A mainland research team says it has created a new coating device that could help submarines evade advanced enemy sonar by ­mimicking water. The tile-like device can analyse enemy sonar [...]

A team of defence scientists in Beijing says it has simulated an intercontinental ballistic missile attack against the United States mainland by North Korea. The North Korean missile could hit [...]

US sanctions against China’s hi-tech sectors have resulted in a 52.9 per cent boost to research and development investment in these areas, according to a new study. A team of [...]

A research team funded by the Chinese military say they used artificial intelligence (AI) to design the electrical layout of a warship with unprecedented speed and accuracy. It took the [...]

Military researchers have ­conducted a landmark ­one-on-one combat between drone aircraft operated by ­artificial intelligence and a human in a real-world setting. The artificial intelligence-driven machine showed superior ­performance in [...]

China has developed a low-cost fibre-optic gyroscope that can be mass-produced in an ­old-fashioned computer chip plant, speeding up the delivery of tactical missiles and other guided weapons to the [...]

Researchers say China plans to build a huge satellite network in near-Earth orbit to provide ­internet services to users around the world – and to stifle Elon Musk’s Starlink. The [...]

A team of Chinese military engineers is developing a “phantom space strike” – a new tactic to overwhelm missile defences by creating a swarm of fake target signals from space. [...]

Military researchers in southern China have claimed to have significantly increased the efficiency of an air-breathing engine that uses solid state fuel for hypersonic flight. The breakthrough could boost the [...]

The country is developing a new ground radar that operates in extremely low temperatures for deep-space surveillance, ­according to scientists involved in the project. The radar is expected to achieve [...]

In the sky over southwest China, a team of researchers has been testing a new wing design that they said could help unmanned aircraft better evade radar. The drone, which [...]

Satellite internet networks owned by different countries must coordinate operations or risk hurting each other’s services, a study by the space agency has warned. A China National Space Administration (CNSA) [...]

Military engineers say they have boosted the performance of a weapon known as a rail gun with the aid of 3D printing technology – an achievement previously thought unfeasible. “The [...]

Scientists in Beijing said they had developed a generator that could turn hot gas moving at hypersonic speeds into an intense electric current capable of powering futuristic weapons. The electricity [...]

A team of Chinese aerospace ­engineers say they have overcome a major barrier in protecting the country from a potential ­hypersonic weapon attack. The achievement came in the development of [...]

A research facility developing an ultra-fast hyperloop train has completed its first test runs using a full-sized passenger capsule, according to media reports. China Space News reported on Wednesday that [...]

An antenna developed by a Shanghai research team could open up low-cost communication bandwidths to hypersonic ­missiles travelling at five times the speed of sound or more. The researchers said [...]

China yesterday launched a ­communication satellite with an unusually powerful electric engine, according to state media. The Apstar-6E satellite, launched from the Xichang ­satellite launch centre shortly after 2am, will [...]

Military researchers in southeastern China say they have created a material that can prevent missiles from being blinded by laser defence systems while maintaining a clear view of their target. [...]

China plans to buy the services of a European satellite to directly broadcast content from its state-owned television network to Africa, according to engineers involved in the project. The intention [...]

Chinese mine operators ­overseeing cobalt mining in Africa can monitor and control on-site activities from their mobile phone or laptop in China in real time, according to engineers at a [...]

A team of Chinese space engineers has accused SpaceX’s Starlink satellites of breaking the traffic rules of Earth’s lower orbit and warned that China will be giving the US an [...]

An unmasked jogger is thought to have infected 39 people with Covid-19 in the space of half an hour at a park in Chongqing, according to a study by health [...]

China’s space station will join a controversial project to collect solar power from space and send it to Earth in a high-energy microwave beam, according to a senior scientist. The [...]

Robots could boost the power of police patrols tenfold, the country’s top police academy has found, in a study that has implications for how law enforcement and tech could collaborate. [...]

Chinese researchers have ­developed the world’s first ­hypersonic detonation wave engine capable of powering flight at nine times the speed of sound using low-cost jet fuel. Several successful ground experiments [...]
