Group 1 - A breakthrough method has been developed by the Korea Institute of Basic Science to produce millimeter-sized graphite films with grain sizes approximately 10,000 times larger than traditional artificial graphite. The mechanical testing results show that the Young's modulus of the graphite film reaches 969 GPa, and the tensile strength is 1.29 GPa, approaching the theoretical limits of single-crystal graphite. The in-plane thermal conductivity is as high as 2034 W/m·K, exceeding that of copper, and the electrical conductivity is 22500 S/cm, setting a new performance record for macroscopic artificial graphite [2]. - A multifunctional robot developed by a team from Northwestern Polytechnical University can operate in extreme cold environments down to -50°C. This robot, based on a new type of electroactive polymer, is capable of autonomous heating, inspection, and ice melting, making it advantageous for applications such as aircraft engine blade inspection and operations in cold regions [2]. - The first domestically produced commercial electron beam lithography machine, named "Xizhi," has entered application testing in Hangzhou. This machine boasts precision comparable to mainstream international equipment and signifies a significant advancement in quantum chip research and development in China [2]. - Samsung Electronics plans to invest 25 billion yen (approximately 170 million USD) to establish an advanced chip packaging research center in Yokohama, Japan. The center is expected to open by March 2027 and aims to strengthen collaboration with Japanese semiconductor material and equipment manufacturers as well as the University of Tokyo [2].
