报告：全球材料科学高等教育呈“美中双极主导”格局

Group 1 - The report titled "Engineering Science and Technology for Future Industries 2025 (New Materials)" highlights a "bipolar dominance" in global materials science higher education, with the US leading with 91 universities and China ranking second with 66 universities [1] - The report indicates that while China leads in the quantity of basic research, it is still catching up in the layout of core high-value patents [1] - The second tier of countries includes Germany (35 universities), the UK (29), France (27), and South Korea (24), while India (23), Japan (22), Australia (21), and Italy (20) show close competition in the number of universities [1] Group 2 - The report identifies a trend of "differentiated layout under converging competition" in global policies for new materials, with countries focusing on strategic areas like semiconductors, batteries, and key magnetic materials [2] - Specific countries are pursuing unique directions based on their industrial characteristics, such as France focusing on nuclear materials and the UK advancing graphene research [2] - A list of ten future new materials is provided, including carbon fiber composites, wide bandgap semiconductor materials, solid-state electrolyte materials, biodegradable polymers, flexible electronics, nanomedicine carriers, high-temperature superconductors, ceramic matrix composites, high-entropy alloys, and photonic crystal materials [2]
