TCL Surpass Samsung in Premium Market​


TCL captured 23% of the 80-inch-and-above TV market in Q3 2024, maintaining its lead over Samsung for two consecutive quarters. Samsung’s market share in this segment dropped from 26% in Q3 2023 to 19% in Q3 2024, while Hisense has narrowed the gap with Samsung to just 1.65 percentage points.

Chinese TVs are no longer perceived as cheap, low-quality options. With advanced features such as AI-powered processors and ultra-large screens, Chinese brands now rival South Korean models in performance.

I just bought a 98 inch TCL TV, it's arriving this weekend. It's kinda amazing how things have changed. When I was a kid in China I remember lusting over the electronics of the west, how huge their TVs were when all we had available were tiny ones. Now, living in the US, the best TCL TVs we get are actually last year's models, and they still beat Samsung's best at a fraction of the price. Samsung uses TCL's CSOT panels BTW, so it makes no sense to pay so much more for a Samsung.

Honestly, i have lost count.

Another one.

China-born biologist Wang Cunyu returns from decades in US to head advanced institute​


Renowned biologist Wang Cunyu has returned to China after more than three decades in the United States, joining Peking University as the head of its Institute of Advanced Clinical Medicine (IACM). Wang plans to lead the institute in addressing clinical needs, leveraging cross-disciplinary advantages, and bridging the gap between basic research and clinical applications. His vision is to establish the institute as a global leader in medical innovation..

Chinese company Juncell Opens World’s Largest TIL Facility in Shanghai

Juncell Therapeutics has opened the world’s largest tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte facility in Shanghai and plans to produce and market its innovative GC101 TIL therapy for advanced melanoma by 2026.

Covering over 16,000 square meters, the facility includes production, quality control, data management, and operational centers, the Shanghai-based company announced yesterday. It will be able to turn out products for between 6,000 and 10,000 patients per year.

The new base will advance TIL product development and accelerate the industrial application of disruptive innovative technologies, Juncell said. The drugmaker’s first such product, GC101, will be produced there, an employee stated.

Are you surprised? did you expect less or more container ships per day?
I was just stating a fact. It's a habit that I like to try quantify things to make some sense of them when given some facts.
Thinking now it's pretty remarkable since those TEUs will probably need to clear custom one by one and hauled out of harbour by trucks. (maybe some by trains, if there is railroad nearby?) That's a lot to trucks going in and out everyday.

More than one ship per hour ain't bad at all.

USTC revealed their latest progress in quantum computing. Jiuzhang v4, the fourth generation of the Jiuzhang optical quantum computer and currently being tested, will have more than 2000 qubits once completed. On the side of superconducting quantum computer, Zuchongzhi v3, with 105 qubits, has set a new benchmark in quantum computational advantage that is 6 order of magnitude faster than the last record set by Goolge's Sycamore in Oct this year.

After Optical Quantum computing .. its time for Topological Quantum computing ,

USTC successfully calculated Majorana zero-mode Jones polynomials using its own photonic quantum simulator, achieving a new breakthrough in topological quantum computing..​

n December 25 that the team of Academician Guo Guangcan of the University of Science and Technology of China has made important progress in the field of topological quantum computing.

Using a self-developed optical quantum simulator, they successfully simulated the weaving operation of Majorana zero modes and calculated the Jones polynomials corresponding to knots of different topological structures, achieving effective distinction between different knot structures.

Majorana zero modes are a special quantum state that is considered to be an ideal carrier for building topological quantum computers. Using Majorana zero modes for weaving operations, specific topological quantum algorithms can be implemented to calculate the Jones polynomials of the knot. Although a large number of experiments have studied the physical properties of Majorana zero modes, due to the extremely high requirements for experimental materials and technology, it is still a huge challenge to realize topological quantum algorithms by weaving Majorana zero modes.
