去年，中芯国际在28纳米成熟技术方面已经让全球芯片圈瞠目结舌，出手时毫不留情，直接把价格砍掉40%，结果市场份额嗖的一下子就往上冲。礼贤下士 没有任何动作，结果自己反而被拉得更远了。 在半导体行业里，有一样材料可是宝贝得不得了，日本几乎垄断了它的市场份额，大约占了90%左右，那就是光刻胶。 虽然咱们中国在芯片出口方面取得了一些阶段性的成就，但光刻胶还得靠进口的事儿还没彻底搞定。曾经，日本对韩国施加过光刻胶的限制，造成了韩国企 业发展的严重威胁。 遇到日本可能断供的风险，咱们国家得赶紧自己动手，搞研究开发，争取早日打破依赖。要增强自主创新能力，加快国产光刻胶的研发和量产步伐，这样才 能不再被外头卡着脖子。至于其他国家，似乎还没有找到能全面替代进口光刻胶的技术路线，主要是因为这东西技术门槛高，研发成本巨大，涉及的工艺也 复杂得很。要搞出来，光靠几个人努力是远远不够的，总得政府、企业齐心协力，从长远看得下一盘棋。 光刻胶其实算是一种感光材料，它的工作原理跟相机胶卷曝光挺像的。最早，法国人偶然发现一种带有感光特性的天然沥青，经过加工之后，就用在相机的 暗盒里了。 本来，光刻胶市场规模挺庞大的，像美国、德国、英国、韩国 ...

你注意过体检报告单上的"血尿酸"吗？如果这一栏写着500+微摩尔/升（正常上限420微摩尔/升），而你吃嘛嘛香、关节灵活、毫无痛感，是不是会不在 意？ 警惕！没症状≠没伤害，当体检显示尿酸值超标，你的身体里可能正上演着一场"无声的灾难"。那些超标的尿酸，就像无数微小的、尖锐的"玻璃渣"，正 悄悄地在你的肾脏里搞破坏。长期下去，磨损、结晶、炎症甚至结石都可能找上门。 尿酸500+，身体里会发生什么？ ■ "过饱和"与"结晶" 血液像一杯水，尿酸就像溶解在里面的盐。浓度（500+）太高，水（血液）溶解不了这么多盐（尿酸），盐就会析出结晶——"玻璃渣"（尿酸结晶）就形 成了。 △示意图 ■ 肾脏"负重前行" △示意图 尿酸主要通过肾脏排泄。超量的尿酸让肾脏超负荷运转，那些微小的尿酸结晶还可能直接沉积在肾组织里，像砂纸一样慢慢磨损肾脏，引发慢性尿酸性肾 病。 ■ "不定时炸弹" 这些尿酸结晶沉积在关节，尤其是脚趾、脚踝、膝盖、手指，就是一颗颗"不定时炸弹"。哪天一顿海鲜火锅配啤酒，或者身体脱水、受凉、劳累，就可能 瞬间"引爆"——这就是痛不欲生的痛风性关节炎，关节红肿热痛，碰一下都像被电击。 预防肾脏被"玻璃渣"祸害 ...
