1.The world's fastest high-speed train prototype taken offline

The prototype of the CR450 high-speed rail train, the world's fastest high-speed rail train, has been Taken offline, with a designed speed of up to 400 kilometers per hour. Currently, the R&D team is conducting a number of experimental verifications. The China State Railway Group plans to complete the relevant assessments in 2025.

2. Unitree Technology Performs 'Humanoid Robot Walking a Bionic Dog'

The 2025 Global Developers Pioneer Conference opened in Shanghai. The humanoid robot G1 and the quadruped bionic dog Go2 of Unitree Technology, made their debut at the exhibition site. The humanoid robot demonstrated actions such as running and even picked up a rope to walk the bionic dog. This magical scene of "a humanoid robot walking a bionic dog" attracted a large number of spectators to stop and watch.

3. World Record, It is Expected that 'Quantum Phone Calls' Will Be Possible within Three to Five Years

The Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sciences, in collaboration with teams from Tsinghua University and North China University of Technology, proposed the theory of one-way quantum direct communication and developed a practical system. They achieved quantum direct communication over a distance of 100 kilometers for 168 consecutive hours, with the communication rate remaining stable at 2.38 kilobits per second. This rate is comparable to the technical specifications of the first-generation mobile communication technology (1G), setting a world record for the quantum direct communication rate over a distance of 100 kilometers. The relevant achievements were published in Science Advances, marking that this technology has stepped into the stage of practical application.
