Aren't magnesium shavings quite flammable? Might that be an issue for some use cases?
It isn't pure magnesium like those thin strips you're thinking of. They are often alloyed with various metals.

Origin Quantum delivers a quantum computer core equipment dilution refrigerator to China's 985 universities​



Recently, Origin Quantum successfully delivered a domestic SL400 dilution refrigerator to a 985 university in China. This move not only accelerates the pace of self-reliance and self-improvement in quantum computer technology, but also takes a solid step towards solving the problem of "stuck" foreign quantum computers.

Origin SL400 domestic dilution refrigerator The dilution refrigerator is one of the key core equipment of superconducting quantum computers and can provide an extremely low-temperature operating environment close to absolute zero for quantum computers. In addition to the field of quantum computing, dilution refrigerators are widely used in cutting-edge technology fields such as condensed matter physics, materials science, and deep space exploration. Origin SL400 domestic dilution refrigerator is the first achievement of the R&D team of a Chinese scientific and technological enterprise to successfully break through the key core technology of ultra-low temperature refrigeration for quantum computing, and has reached the level of international mainstream products. This dilution refrigerator can provide an extremely low temperature environment below 10mK and a cooling capacity of no less than 400μW@100mK. The cooling time is within 30 hours and the heating time is within 24 hours. It can meet the extremely low temperature operating environment and rapid speed of superconducting quantum computing. Rewarming requirements. International suppliers of dilution refrigeration machines are dominated by European and American countries such as the United States, Britain, and Finland, forming a long-term monopoly. The delivery of the Benyuan SL400 domestic dilution refrigerator demonstrates my country's determination and strength in independent innovation in the field of high-end scientific research equipment manufacturing, and is of great strategic value for building a safe, efficient, independent and controllable national scientific and technological innovation system.

Aqueous batteries use water as the solvent for electrolytes, thus much safer than traditional lithium ion batteries, which use flammable electrolytes. But aqueous batteries have low energy density compared to traditional lithium ion batteries. Two teams of Chinese researchers, in cooperation, developed a type of aqueous batteries with high energy density.

interesting article on People's daily about XCMG that it subsequently cited in its own weibo

Just about the large cranes it created that is used to install wind turbines.

Another one is pilotless mining trucks it has developed

finally about the battery factory with Fudi that just started production.

Great progress for XCMG
