Joint research between Tsinghua Internet Research Institute and 360 won the Most Innovative Research Award at the 2026 Pwnie Awards

The result of the Joint Research Center of Tsinghua University Network Research Institute and Qihoo 360, "One Word Settles the World: Systematic Exploration and Exploitation of DNS Silencing Vulnerabilities in Domain Name Resolution" won the "Most Innovative Research Award" at The Pwnie Awards in 2026. This award is known as the Oscars of global white hat hackers and demonstrates China's international influence in the field of network security.

Asia’s middle powers may have chosen the wrong battlefield in their pursuit of basic AI models.

Many middle powers in Asia are investing a lot of public resources in developing local AI basic models to reduce their dependence on the United States and China. However, foreign media warn that the cost of basic model training increases by 3.5 times every year. The cost of next-generation models will far exceed the current scale of subsidies, and maintaining technological leadership requires continuous huge investments. It is difficult to catch up if they fall behind. Singapore chose to fine-tune the existing model as a localization alternative, and experts suggest that Asian countries should deepen their existing industrial advantages in semiconductors, memory chips, and robotics, rather than trying to build a competitive model from scratch. Because the advantages of leading companies have a cumulative effect, and the basic model is updated rapidly, the traditional industrial policy model has limited effect in this field.

The first batch of units of Xinjiang Dashixia Water Conservancy Project are connected to the grid to generate electricity

The first batch of units 1 and 2 of the Xinjiang Dashixia Water Conservancy Project invested and constructed by China Energy Construction Gezhouba Group were connected to the grid to generate electricity on September 29. The project breaks the world record for concrete-faced gravel dams with a maximum dam height of 247 meters. It has a total installed capacity of 750,000 kilowatts and an average annual power generation of 1.893 billion kilowatt-hours. It can meet the annual electricity needs of about 600,000 households and assume the responsibility of South China. The four prefectures and prefectures in Xinjiang carried out peak load regulation tasks for the power system, and simultaneously transported 3.42 billion cubic meters of water to the Tarim River ecology, alleviating the water shortage problem of more than 6.8 million acres of farmland in the Aksu River Basin, and raising the flood control standard for downstream rivers from a once-in-10-year to a once-in-50-year period.

NASA announces latest progress on Boeing Starliner, plans to carry out unmanned mission in December 2024 or January 2025

NASA announced the latest progress of Boeing Starliner, planning to conduct an unmanned Starliner-1 mission as early as December 2024 or January 2025 to verify improvements, and will conduct a manned mission in 2028. Previously, the Starliner's first manned test flight caused astronauts to be stranded on the space station due to a malfunction. It was deemed a Class A accident. Boeing has made improvements to the spacecraft's thermal environment.
