China outpaces Japan in next-gen perovskite solar cell patent filings
China has surpassed Japan for the first time in the total number of patent applications for perovskite solar cells, considered a next-generation innovation for renewable energy.Around 2,000 applications linked to perovskite solar cells had been made public by then. It takes roughly a year or two from the initial filing for a patent application to be made public.
For patent applications filed by 2023 and valid as of December 2025, China was the leader. Japan, which led from 2015 to 2022, came in second. In annual application filings, China outstripped Japan around 2020.
The study compared patent applications by companies by scoring each based partly on the number of references made by competitors. In 2025, Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. had the top score.
In second place was Japan's Panasonic Holdings, down from first place in 2023. Toshiba, which was in third place in 2023, was fifth in 2025.
Food microbial technology researcher awarded May Day national labor medal
Zhang Yuhong is a senior researcher specializing in agricultural products and food science in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.
Based at the region's institute of agricultural product development and food science, Zhang has dedicated her career to applying food microbial technology to modernizing plateau specialties. In 2019, her team launched a project to develop and commercialize highland barley liquor, significantly improving the yield over three years of research.
In 2023, the team began collecting traditional yogurt samples across Xizang's farming and pastoral areas. Their findings have since helped to reduce the reliance on imported strains. The team has also built a bank of more than 2,000 food microbial strains from traditional foods in Xizang. Zhang was awarded May Day national labor medal this year for her contributions.
I got a little side tracked here, but this is my thread on China's superalloy development and how that led to recent progress in Gas Turbine products.
Jingsheng Electronics launches desktop water electrolysis hydrogen production test bench, driving quality and efficiency improvement with innovative technology.
Jingce Electronics, relying on its self-developed full-stack "optical-mechanical-electronic-computing-software" integrated technology platform, has launched its independently developed desktop water electrolysis hydrogen production test bench. The system adopts a highly integrated design, is equipped with dedicated testing software, and has a fully automatic testing mode.

I don't know if this is too good to be true but Chinese artificial womb prototype this year??? Led by Zhang Qifeng of Kaiwa Technology aimed at 100K RMB per shot commercial.
If this can be done, this is the best chance at increasing fertility rate. Chinese people are very very forward-looking and adopt new things better than anyone else. If you tell Chinese people that they will make a family using the method of the future, they will be excited to be a part of this. If you ask them to look to tradition and have the woman focus on birth, they will reject it as being backwards.
Women do not want to give birth, and it's a very natural reason. Their value to the world depreciates immensely when they do. Their bodies go through irreversible changes for the worse and when they compound it with multiple births, their appearances really fall apart hard. Of the mothers I see at the park with my kids, a few of them still look average or better and they typically have one kid. The mothers with 2-3 typically have flapper jacks on a poached egg belly; they look like their bodies were put back together after a 20 car pile-up. It scares the shit out of anyone to have your life change like that, to go from something sexual that men faun after into something totally utilitarian without aesthetic appeal. You have to be semi pro-fitness level to put yourself back into a respectable shape after more than 1.
When I see this, I know that the money I spent on surrogacy was the best money I ever spent! Everytime there are Chinese people at the park, they go up to my wife to ask why she has popping shouldersm a wasp waistline and visible ab lines after 3 kids.... and I say, "We have 4; the last one's 3 months old so she's at home." I really wouldn't do this any other way and an artificial womb would make it so easy instead of the Odessey we went through.
