Researchers have identified the remains of a person closely related to the ancestors of Native Americans in a cave in southern China, according to a new study. Professor Su Bing, [...]

Artificial intelligence has been used in all corners of China’s legal system and has a role in every verdict, according to the Supreme People’s Court in Beijing. “The smart court [...]

A wind tunnel built recently by Beijing-based scientists to test hypersonic flight requires so much power it cannot be connected to the local electricity grid, according to those involved in [...]

Researchers working at an archaeological site in southwestern China are preparing to open a 3,000-year-old cage holding a jade stone that may help unlock the secrets of a mysterious ancient [...]

A small computer developed by Chinese students outperformed Japan’s most powerful machine in solving a major complex data problem related to artificial intelligence, according to the latest global ranking. Supercomputer [...]

A research team has said an anti-satellite artificial intelligence system has mastered the art of deception in a simulated space battle. In the experiment, the AI ­commanded three small satellites [...]

China plans to launch an ­ambitious space solar power plant programme in 2028, two years ahead of the original schedule, according to scientists involved in the project. A satellite will [...]

Mainland military researchers say they have developed an artificial intelligence technology that can estimate the course of a hypersonic glide missile as it homes in on a target at more [...]

Nuclear authorities say their researchers have discovered rich uranium deposits deep below the Earth, in what they are calling a breakthrough for the country’s national security. Massive, industrial-grade deposits were [...]

Chinese military researchers say the country needs to be able to disable or destroy SpaceX’s Starlink satellites if they threaten national security. A paper published last month said China had [...]

A research team in China has designed the world’s first power plant that can turn fusion energy into electricity ­without bringing the power grid down. When completed in around 2035, [...]

China is developing a heat- seeking hypersonic weapon that will be able to hit a moving car at five times the speed of sound, according to scientists involved in the [...]

Researchers in Beijing have ­developed and tested the ­technology to build a highway on the moon. “I have often dreamed of building a road on the moon,” said Zhou Siqi, [...]

Chinese researchers say their air-breathing engine – driven by the explosions of hydrocarbon fuel – achieved stable operation during a simulated test flight at hypersonic speed. This approach can wreck [...]

When the USS Harry S. Truman was heading to a strait transit drill off the coast of Long Island in New York on June 17 last year, a Chinese remote [...]

China is employing artificial intelligence (AI) to effectively turn a dam project on the Tibetan Plateau into the world’s largest 3D printer, according to scientists involved in the project. The [...]

A leading Russian scientist has made a rare criticism of China, saying that cooperation between the two countries has been ­withheld by their Chinese ­counterparts “without explanation”. Alexander Sergeev, president [...]

Chinese scientists say they have discovered an unexpected ­pathway to infection from Covid-19 – with more than 80 per cent of the tiny floating particles of virus breathed out landing [...]

A team of military researchers has ­developed an invisible cloak that can hide ground ­military ­targets from spy radar satellites. Hiding objects from advanced military radars is difficult because they [...]

President Xi Jinping underscored the importance of food security and marine science on a trip to Hainan at the weekend. The visit comes as world food prices surge on the [...]

The mainland has built a new cyber defence infrastructure that can automatically detect security weaknesses in orbiting satellites, according to military scientists involved in the project. There are thousands of [...]

China has built a new research facility to simulate an attack by nuclear bunker-busting weapons and learn how they damage defence facilities, even those built at extreme depths, according to [...]

An advanced artificial intelligence system developed by Chinese military researchers could turn low-cost commercial satellites already orbiting Earth into ­powerful spy platforms capable of tracking moving targets as small as [...]

Researchers in Shanghai say they have developed a device to create extremely low temperatures that would make cutting-edge technology such as quantum computers more widely available. The core components of [...]

China will soon have a lunar observatory that will form part of a radio telescope covering an area 30 times the size of the Earth, according to scientists involved in [...]
