The Chongqing Science and Technology Awards Conference was held on the 16th. Professor Wang Shilong of Chongqing University won the "Outstanding Contribution Award in Science and Technology". Wang Shilong has long been committed to the research of gears and industrial machines. Through forward design and deep integration of industry, academia and research, he promotes the independent controllability and industrial upgrading of my country's high-end equipment manufacturing core technologies.

Chinese scientists have discovered a 150-million-year-old fossil of Yuezhuornis yangyuanensis in Fujian province, the earliest known flightless bird, challenging theories that flightlessness in birds evolved only as a secondary adaptation.
The scientific research team of the Center of Excellence for Brain Intelligence of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed for the first time the computing mechanism of brain neurons involved in flexible decision-making. They found that a single neuron is like a microcomputer, and its dendrites and cell bodies interact to complete cognitive calculations, which is expected to inspire the next generation of artificial intelligence underlying algorithms.
China's total R&D investment in 2025 will reach 3.92882 billion yuan, an increase of 8.2% over the previous year, ranking second in the world, second only to the United States. The growth rate of basic research funding was 13.3%, 5.1 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate. Enterprises have become the main force driving growth, accounting for 77.4% of the entire society's R&D funding.

The team of Chen Shenghong, associate researcher at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica, discovered that cells form a natural firewall that blocks the spread of death through their own arrangement. Cell density and direction determine the propagation path of the death wave. The research results were published in the international journal "Cell".

Ya Qi, winner of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, gave a speech at National Taiwan University, introducing new materials such as metal-organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks, which can absorb water vapor or carbon dioxide in the air and release water for collection through heating, providing new directions for drought resistance and climate change mitigation. He also emphasized the role of artificial intelligence in materials exploration and the "selective science" thinking that humans need to judge important issues and research directions.
