亚洲仿真联盟副理事长、韩国仿真学会主席张秉云致辞表示,作为借助计算机和模型来模拟现实系统运行的科学技术,如今仿真技术已广泛应用于航空航天、先进制造、生物医学等领域,是连接科学问题、工程实践与产业创新的关键纽带。湖北是中国重要的工业基地和科教重镇,仿真技术发展与应用空间广阔,此行将围绕仿真技术在智能制造中的应用等议题,与相关研究机构和科研团队开展学术交流。
2021年诺贝尔化学奖得主、中国科学院外籍院士本杰明·李斯特在主旨发言中说,有机催化已在全球广泛产业化应用,武汉在光化学领域的科研布局令其印象深刻。他认为,坚持源头创新、推进国际科研合作与人才联合培养意义重大。
当前,湖北正推进科技创新和产业创新加速融合,该省国家级战略性新兴产业集群达到4个、国家创新型产业集群达到16个。2025年,湖北光电子信息、汽车制造与服务两大支柱产业产值均超过万亿元人民币。

Stem cell biologist Wu has joined a new institution as a chair professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, despite receiving a tenured professorship offer from his former employer, UT Southwestern Medical Centre.

The 7th Taiwan Science Festival was held from November 7th to 15th. Five major museums and institutes of the Ministry of Education joined hands with 34 science popularization bases to launch more than 2,000 science popularization activities across Taiwan. This year's theme is "Science Sharing, Sustainability Starts", and there is an event to collect stamps and exchange them for gifts to encourage parents and children to participate in science learning together.

The China Science and Technology Museum opened the "Silver Age Puzzle Square·Time Post Office" science popularization experience space on October 15. Through aging-friendly interactive exhibits and cross-regional linkage, it aims to improve the scientific quality of the elderly and promote intergenerational understanding. The event will continue until October 31.

Researchers identified ringlike disturbance patterns termed 'seismo-ripples' triggered before earthquakes, challenging the belief that seismic events are unpredictable.
A team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered the oldest known amber fossils so far in the Middle Devonian coal seams of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang, which is about 385 million years old, 65 million years earlier than the previous record. Research suggests that the ability to synthesize complex resins may have existed in primitive vascular plants long before the emergence of seed plants, and that the resins may have originally been used for protection against wildfires and fungi rather than insect defense. The team extracted tiny amber particles through ultraviolet fluorescence scanning and microscopy manual sample selection, and confirmed their chemical characteristics using infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Wang Min's team from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Fujian Academy of Geological Sciences, discovered fossils of Yang Yuan, a new species of bird from the late Jurassic period in the Zhenghe Fauna of Fujian, weighing about 821 grams. This confirmed that the early stages of bird evolution had led to ecological specialization of being ground-dwelling and flightless, breaking the hypothesis of one-way evolution of flight and revealing an explosion of ecological diversity at the origin of birds.
