Modular integrated optical sensors for use in multiple form factors is pretty impressive, it just makes sense.

Interesting chart from the news. Chinese domestic market share for LIDAR. Around 2 million installed capacity, with presumably around 20 million vehicle sales, so only ~10% penetration. LIDAR has room to grow much further.

my new crush Dreame has signed agreement with Hangzhou government for production base of 4 million smart end point product

big day in China's material science industry as 长盛科技/CSST has achieved stable production in its 1000s ton ZA70 (T1100 class) production line. Its ZA70 product first passed design review back in Sep 2024.

In past year, CSST has collaborated with AVIC, Shenzhen University and several others to form COMAC's "Domestic T1100-grade carbon fiber screening and evaluation". It has conducted process optimization and stabilized production across 19 batches in 3 phases on a fully domestically produced line. Batch yield have surpassed 95%. Its tensile strength of settled on 6600MPa, 6600MPa and 6600MPa (note modulus is difference also)

It has worked to improve ZA70's compatibility with aerospace resin to improve composite material performance. Improve composite tensile strength from 3300 6600MPa to 3705 6600MPa.

ZA60XC and ZA65XC are CSST T1000 product and ZA55GC is T800G. It's ZA55GC has passed COMAC's PCD management system certification and entered service on C919.

CSST will be focusing on 4th gen carbon fibers (T1200 grade) and a new gen of ultra tough CFRP as future development

The world's first magnetic resonance platform can record and analyze the MRI and full-brain scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) in real time simultaneously.

The world's first magnetic resonance platform customized for brain-computer interface (BCI) technology was recently launched in north China's Tianjin Municipality. The platform has established a neuroimaging magnetic resonance system, providing key support for the research and development of next-generation BCI technology.

The new platform can simultaneously perform nuclear magnetic imaging and EEG recording, accurately capture subtle changes in brain activity, locate the position of these activities with sub-millimeter accuracy, and capture the timing of brain activities with sub-second speed.

Huawei with a bunch of other companies is introducing an alternative to BIOS and UEFI.

Huawei is so pissed, it might even invent its own metric system at this point! Lol
