1. First Announcement! New Microbial Species Discovered in China's Space Station

Recently, researchers have made the first announcement of a new microbial species discovered in China's space station, named "Niallia tiangongensis." The relevant scientific achievements were published online in the international authoritative journal International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.

2. Shenzhou-20 Astronauts Successfully Completed First Extravehicular Activity

At 16:49 on May 22, after approximately 8 hours of extravehicular activity (EVA), the Shenzhou-20 crew members Chen Dong, Chen Zhongrui, and Wang Jie worked in close coordination. With the support of ground researchers, the astronauts exited the space station's core module node cabin. They installed a space debris protection device—previously transferred to an intermediate position via the cargo airlock cabin and mechanical arm—into its scheduled location. Additionally, they conducted inspections and maintenance of external equipment and facilities. Astronauts Chen Dong and Chen Zhongrui have safely returned to the Tianhe Core Module, marking the complete success of the EVA.

3. Boosting Large Models by 80%: Huawei's Ascend Inference Ace FlashComm

Huawei's FlashComm technology has compressed AI inference time from 1 hour to 12 minutes. Through three innovations— Computing Communication Reorganization", "Storage-for-Transmission" and "Multi-Stream Parallelism"—it solves problems like traditional communication bandwidth waste, computing latency and "scale curse", driving AI into the sub-second response era and completely transforming the experience and cost in fields such as human-computer interaction and autonomous driving.

4. First Closed-Loop Spinal Nerve Interface Surgery Completed, Enabling Paraplegic Patient to Walk Independently

The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, in collaboration with other teams, has achieved a major technological breakthrough by completing the nation's first closed-loop spinal nerve interface implantation surgery.

Uncle Jin, diagnosed with paraplegia by local hospitals, can now perform various daily activities after the surgery and systematic rehabilitation training. His lower limb sensory function is gradually recovering, significantly improving his quality of life.

5. Intelligent Rig + Smart Wellsite + Intelligent Decision-Making: China's First Set of Intelligent Drilling System Officially Put into Use

China's first set of intelligent drilling system with independent intellectual property rights— the "Longlong" intelligent drilling system— has been officially put into operation. The "Longlong" intelligent drilling system integrates an intelligent rig, smart wellsite, and intelligent decision-making platform, providing intelligent engineering technologies for oil and gas exploration and development nearly 10,000 meters underground. Through real-time data interaction between the downhole sensor network and the ground intelligent platform, the system can automatically complete key operation links such as geological parameter collection, drilling trajectory optimization, and equipment status monitoring, significantly improving drilling efficiency and safety.
