A second-generation integrated smart tower machine has been put into use at the Nanjing Longtan River Crossing project. Engineers are working to transition the equipment from a customized product to a more universal application for diverse bridge designs.

A research team led by Nankai University Dean Chen Quan is facing allegations of academic misconduct regarding a paper published in Nature Cancer.

The passenger-carrying aircraft departed successfully last night. The one-way flight duration is approximately two hours.

Nanjing Steel Group is integrating large-scale AI models into its steel production processes. The technology is being used to serve as a digital brain for the steel industry to improve operational efficiency. The implementation of these models has increased the precision of temperature monitoring from 75-80% to over 99.5%. The central control for these AI models is managed through the Nangang Smart Center. This technology aims to provide real-time monitoring of minute parameter changes in steel production. The model has increased the frequency of discount rate control from a previous level of 75% to 80% to over 99.5%. The center serves as a central hub for the Chinese steel industry. The group reported that key equipment, CNC cutting rates, and networking rates have reached 100 percent. New product research and development cycles have been reduced by half compared to traditional modes.

The Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, currently holding a record of seven wins, one draw, and one loss, is scheduled to play against Wuhan Three Stars in the Chinese Super League. The match is described as critical for the relegation battle. The win was aided by a red card issued to a Wuhan Three Stars player, which compromised their central defense.

The source noted the red card was undeserved but part of the match reality. The match against Wuhan was impacted by a red card issued to player Kamyaam, which weakened Wuhan's central defense.

Artificial intelligence has become the decision-making hub for a 220-ton electric furnace at the Zhanjiang Steel demonstration production line. The technology aims to reduce energy waste, time delays, and quality fluctuations caused by reliance on manual experience.

In Jiangsu province, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) surpassed other conditions to become the leading occupational disease in 2025.

A new green steel production line in China features the country's largest domestic electric arc furnace. A state-owned enterprise project team has implemented a new short-process production line using a lightweight furnace and electric arc furnace.

China has completed its first million-ton-scale intelligent steel production line in Zhanjiang. In Zhangjiakou, Hebei, a demonstration project for industrial-scale slag gas purification is utilizing steel slag gas as a raw material. Another project in the North China Plain is also exploring alternative methods for green steel production. These efforts aim for higher production efficiency, lower investment, and reduced factory footprint compared to traditional modular methods. The technology, developed by Zhongye Jingcheng in Zhangjiakou, has achieved industrial-scale stable operation. This Chinese original technology now holds over 80% of the global market share, marking a transition from follower to definer. The thin, high-profile design of the equipment is also tailored to withstand typhoons up to level 15, demonstrating a Chinese solution for diverse environmental challenges.
