    Based on the evolutionary law of the 50−year long−wave cycle of the world economy, this paper focuses on the core engine of the fifth long−wave cycle—the integrated circuit (IC) industry. It systematically sorts out the development history, current status of the industrial system, and global competitive pattern of China's IC industry from the "6th Five−Year Plan" to the "14th Five−Year Plan" periods. By analyzing the development achievements in key links such as electronic design automation (EDA), design, manufacturing, packaging and testing, equipment, materials, and memory, the paper identifies China's breakthroughs in chip autonomy in national security−related fields and the phased achievements of multiple enterprises ranking among the top 10 in relevant global fields. Meanwhile, it deeply analyzes the industry's existing problems, including homogeneous competition and internal friction caused by "small scale, dispersion, and weakness", lack of fault tolerance and trial−and−error mechanisms between upstream and downstream enterprises, imperfect data statistics and industrial standards, and insufficient transformation of "national efforts" into practical actions. Combined with the development trends of integrated circuits in the post−Moore era—extending Moore's Law, expanding Moore's Law, transcending Moore's Law, and enriching Moore's Law—the paper proposes that during the "15th Five−Year Plan" period, efforts should be made to build leading enterprises, improve coordination mechanisms, increase targeted investment, strengthen basic research, deepen international cooperation, and optimize talent training.

    China's science and technology development has entered a critical stage of tackling key challenges and therefore needs to strengthen original innovation. Basic research is the source of original scientific and technological innovation, yet at present China's basic research faces problems such as oversized research teams, homogenized research directions, a lack of core capabilities, and consequently insufficient capacity for original innovation. At the national level, this manifests as team research that is neither specialized nor distinctive and often duplicative, along with an overall pattern that runs counter to diversity. The resulting "resource−driven" research paradigm leads to inefficient use of research resources. As a result, the research ecosystem is degraded, hindering the cultivation and growth of original innovation. This paper argues that, in the realm of basic research, a "small but excellent" paradigm—characterized by small teams that each play to their unique strengths and researchers who are highly specialized and each bring distinctive expertise—has high value for original innovation. Under resource constraints, it can also preserve the overall diversity of national research and the security of the national science and technology chain. Delivering the core value of basic research through rigorous, specialized exploration and original breakthroughs requires each team to focus on a distinctive direction and cultivate it deeply, while team members build deep expertise and tackle hard problems through years of sustained effort. This approach helps foster diversity in the research ecosystem and enables efficient resource allocation, thereby ensuring the resilience of China's scientific and technological development in international competition.

    This article focuses on amorphous matters and reviews recent advances in amorphous materials and physics. More recently, more than 30% of the lunar soil collected by China's Chang'e-5 mission was found to be glassy, further confirming the widespread existence of amorphous matter in the universe. Topological order and inhomogeneity may be hidden behind the seemingly chaotic structure of amorphous materials, so amorphous matters have strange genetic, sensitive and relaxation behaviors, and show a series of excellent physical and chemical properties, such as extreme stability, super-plasticity, super mechanical behavior and excellent soft magnetic properties. The new generation of Zr-based and Fe-based amorphous alloys developed based on order regulation and high flux technology are successfully applied to core components such as folding mobile phone hinges and new energy vehicle motors, indicating that amorphous matters have irreplaceable application advantages. The future development of amorphous matters should focus on introducing a new paradigm of material research, attaching importance to the importance of process innovation, promoting the cross-integration of multi-disciplinary fields, giving full play to the advantages of advanced characterization technology and large scientific devices, and creating a whole-chain innovation model for production, university and research, so as to actively promote the rapid development of amorphous materials and physics, and expand the application of amorphous matters in high-tech fields. Make the future of mankind a better place.

    Biological carbon fixation is crucial to the Earth's carbon cycle and is one of the effective ways to transform CO2 and manage carbon emissions. Chemoautotrophs, with their unique metabolic strategies and environmental adaptability, play an important role in this process. They are able to convert CO2 into valuable organic products, solving the problem of limited CO2 utilization. However, the carbon fixation potential of chemoautotrophs in controlled systems has not been fully explored. This review illustrates the possible challenges of stable culture of chemoautotrophic bacteria in bioreactor. Based on this, a series of physical, chemical and biological methods are proposed to regulate the carbon metabolism of chemoautotrophic bacteria and improve their carbon fixation efficiency. Further, the application prospects of chemoautotrophic carbon fixation in controlled systems are expected, including improving the primary productivity of natural ecosystems, reducing carbon emissions in specific sites, and producing high−value microbial by−products. This review highlights the advantages and challenges of these applications, providing important insights into carbon capture, fixation and conversion by chemoautotrophs.

    With the convergence and innovation of emerging information technologies, Digital Twin (DT) technology has become a key enabler for digital transformation and the evolution of intelligent systems. It has been widely applied and received significant attention in fields such as industrial manufacturing, smart cities, and intelligent transportation. However, existing research on traditional DT technologies has predominantly focused on the modeling and analysis of physical entities ("objects"), with limited systematic integration of "human" and "environmental" factors. The lack of exploration into human−environment interactions makes it difficult for current digital twin frameworks to meet the advanced demands of complex intelligent systems for multi−level, comprehensive interaction capabilities. In view of this, this paper innovatively introduces the "object−human−environment" interactive vision and comprehensively and systematically analyzes the research frontiers and progress of digital twin technology from the three core dimensions of intelligent physical entity (object), intelligent individual (human), and virtual−real fusion environment (environment). Firstly, the paper analyzes the traditional digital twin technology system with "object" as the core and focuses on its theoretical origin, framework, and application. Secondly, it discusses the definition, development context, national policies, and core technologies of digital people driven by AI. Finally, expand the vision to the dimension of "environment" and explore the application practice of "environment" in multiple scenes of the meta−universe, deeply discuss the deep integration and interaction mechanism of the three elements of "object", "human" and "environment", reveal how the three interact and promote each other, and provide support for the construction of the meta−universe. Furthermore, this study discusses the current research challenges and future development trends of digital twin technology from the perspective of "Object−Human−Environment" interaction and proposes three key research directions: (1) developing an intelligent, multi−layered data fusion framework; (2) exploring AIGC−enabled intelligent virtual−real mapping and native virtual evolution; and (3) constructing novel virtual economy architectures and intelligent governance systems. The research outcomes provide both theoretical foundations and practical insights for building next−generation digital twin systems characterized by multi−agent collaborative perception, multimodal intelligent interaction, and closed−loop integration of virtual and real environments.

    The accurate and efficient extraction of building from remote sensing images is fundamental for applications such as fine urban management, high−precision mapping, and land resource investigation. It is essential to investigate how to leverage image features for intelligent interpretation. This study introduces a global self−attention network with edge−enhancement (E−GSANet) for remote sensing building extraction. The network integrate the edge enhancement module into the encoder backbone, providing the network with a priori knowledge about boundaries, and then establish long−distance dependency relationships between features using the global self−attention feature expression module, enabling the fusion of salient features with edge−enhanced features. A stepwise up−sampling decoding module is designed to fusing the shallow features with rich spatial detail information and the deep features with high−order semantic information to obtain accurate extraction results of buildings. The comparison experiments between E−GSANet and the current mainstream methods is conducted based on two open−source remote sensing building datasets. The quantitative analysis and qualitative demonstrations prove that E−GSANet achieves optimal results across all evaluation metrics, yielding more complete building extractions, precise edges, and higher accuracy. Additionally, network structure ablation experiments and analysis demonstrate the effectiveness of each module.

    Post−disaster restoration and reconstruction after major disasters is an open and complex mega−system project. This paper attempts to interpret the historical development of post−disaster restoration and reconstruction in China from the system engineering perspective. First, we define major disaster events and provide classification and outline significant catastrophic events since 1949. Secondly, we use Hall's three−dimensional morphology and Wuli−Shili−Renli system approach to construct the system structure of post−disaster restoration and reconstruction from three dimensions: development stages, critical activities, and science and technology. Then, by examining the specific measures of post−disaster restoration and reconstruction in typical catastrophic events and their relationship with the evolution of human−environment interactions, the traditional, sustainable and intelligent patterns of post−disaster restoration and reconstruction systems are revealed. Finally, the historical experiences of China's post−disaster restoration and reconstruction are summarized in five aspects: institutional advantages and legal guarantees, cross−departmental coordination and information sharing, intelligent monitoring and precise needs assessment, infrastructure and cultural construction, and catastrophe relief and insurance.

    Ice lithography (IL) is an emerging micro/nanofabrication technique based on electron beam interaction with cryogenic materials, which enables direct writing and transfer of nanoscale patterns through localized electron beam irradiation on solid ice resists formed by gas condensation on cryogenic substrates. Since its inception, this technology has rapidly evolved with distinctive advantages: Firstly, the low electron sensitivity of ice resists permits in situ observation during processing, facilitating high-precision overlay alignment. Secondly, ice films demonstrate exceptional conformal coverage on non-planar substrates, overcoming the planarization constraints inherent to conventional lithography. Thirdly, the solvent-free removal of ice resists via thermal desorption establishes an environmentally benign process, particularly advantageous for processing sensitive and fragile materials. This review systematically examines the historical development of IL, comprehensively summarizes key advancements in technical characteristics, fabrication accuracy, equipment evolution, and process applications, while providing prospects for future directions. It aims to stimulate interdisciplinary research and explore the application potential of this novel technology in emerging fields including three-dimensional optoelectronic devices, biosensing platforms, and flexible electronics.

    Calcium-based batteries have attracted increasing attention as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage, owing to the natural abundance of calcium (approximately 2500 times more abundant than lithium in the Earth's crust), its high volumetric capacity (2073 mA·h·cm-3), and favourable environmental profile. Despite these advantages, their development remains hindered by several fundamental challenges, including inefficient and irreversible calcium metal plating/stripping, narrow electrochemical stability windows of electrolytes, and the scarcity of high-performance cathode materials. Here we provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in calcium-based battery research, with a focus on calcium metal anode design, rational electrolyte design, development of cathode chemistries, and advances in cell configurations. We critically examine the underlying mechanisms and representative strategies proposed to address current bottlenecks, and discuss emerging opportunities for calcium-based systems in grid-scale and extreme-environment applications. This Review aims to offer a clear perspective on the path toward practical calcium-based batteries and to inspire future research directions for unlocking their full potential.

    The impact of global warming and how to deal with it are topics of widespread concern across various sectors of society. This paper focuses on the impacts of global climate change on dryland. Over the past fifty years, the temperature has risen at the rate of 0.32℃ /decade, and climate warming has enhanced the evaporation capacity and consequently expanded the world's arid regions by approximately 2.61×106 km2. The frequency and severity of droughts has also increased, with an average of 251 meteorological droughts occurring in 34 major river basins. The drought heatwave compound events and flash droughts are becoming more common. The duration of heat waves has extended from 8 to 12 days on average. With climate warming, the water availability has decreased with increased water uncertainty. Concurrently, greenhouse gas emissions increased and carbon sequestration reduced. Desertification has aggravated, and poverty?stricken area has expanded. In light of these challenges, it is recommended to vigorously advocate carbon emission reduction strategies to curb the pace of climate warming, strengthen international cooperation, formulate a global action plan to mitigate the continuous expansion of arid areas, build a cooperation mechanism to address climate change in terms of policy, management, education, science and technology, finance and other aspects, and solve the "double dilemma" of desertification and poverty in multiple ways.

    The soil carbon reservoir, the largest terrestrial carbon pool, plays a critical role in regulating atmospheric CO2 concentrations and climate change. Conventional research paradigms often treat soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil inorganic carbon (SIC) separately, limiting the predictive capability for soil carbon cycle dynamics. This review systematically synthesizes the formation and sequestration mechanisms of SOC and SIC. SOC stability is maintained by a complex "multi−assemblage" involving chemical recalcitrance, physical protection, mineral associated stabilization, and microbial regulation (e.g., the Microbial Carbon Pump, MCP). In contrast, SIC dynamics are governed by chemical precipitation−dissolution equilibria, biologically driven processes, and physical transport, with its perceived role evolving from a 'static geologic reservoir' to a 'dynamic carbon sink'. A key advancement is the revelation of deep biogeochemical coupling between SOC and SIC: CO2 released from SOC decomposition drives the formation of secondary carbonates, while pH and Ca2+ concentration regulated by SIC dissolution, in turn, feedback on SOC stability and microbial activity. Building on this, we propose a novel "SOC−SIC−Climate" tripartite coupling framework, elucidating their dynamic pathways—including synergistic enhancement, trade−off compensation, and critical instability—under the forcing of external factors (climate, minerals, biology, human activities). Finally, translating mechanistic understanding into practice, we propose region−specific regulation and carbon management strategies (e.g., calcium cycle regulation, Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP)) tailored to different climate zones and land−use types. This aims to transform soil from a passive sink into an actively managed climate buffer, providing a scientific foundation for advancing Earth system theory and optimizing carbon neutrality pathways.

    In recent years, light−driven micro/nanomotors have emerged as a novel type of miniature power device, leveraging their adjustable energy input, reversible switching state and remote operability. They have demonstrated broad application prospects in water environment treatment, biomedical fields, and biosensing. This paper aims to systematically summarize the research progress of light−driven micro/nanomotors, elucidate their propulsion mechanisms, and highlight typical applications driven by different types of light (ultraviolet, visible, and near−infrared light). Despite the substantial potential of light−driven micro/nanomotors in various domains, they still face numerous technical challenges, such as low propulsion efficiency, limited motion control precision, and issues with the biocompatibility of materials. Future research directions may include the integration of multiple driving methods, enhancement of light energy conversion efficiency, and development of biocompatible materials. These efforts will promote the performance improvement and application expansion of light−driven micro/nanomotors, bringing revolutionary changes to environmental protection and biomedical fields.

    At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is advancing at an accelerated pace, with breakthroughs in cutting−edge fields reshaping the global landscape. The scientific and technological development of China during the 15th Five−Year Plan period is not only a crucial stage for itself to achieve the goal of building a world power in science and technology, but also will play an important role in the global pattern of scientific and technological development, exerting a significant and far−reaching impact on the world. How to accurately position itself in the complex and volatile international situation, make forward−looking plans, and scientifically map out the roadmap for scientific and technological development during the 15th Five−Year Plan period is a key issue that China must strive to address at present. In the next 5−10 years, China will face a complex situation where the intensification of strategic games among major powers, the acceleration of scientific and technological industrial transformation, and the arduous task of economic and social transformation are intertwined: science and technology have become the main battlefield of national strength competition, international cooperation has weakened, and security risks have risen; the frontiers of science and technology are advancing in depth, and disruptive technologies are intersecting and integrating, nurturing new industrial forms; China's economy is transforming towards high quality, and security risks in fields such as energy and food are prominent. The construction of a strong science and technology country during the 15th Five−Year Plan period should focus on six aspects: first, strengthen organized basic research; second, coordinate and strengthen the tackling of key core technologies; third, strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in innovation; fourth, promote the integrated development of education, science and technology, and talents; fifth, improve the ecological environment for scientific and technological innovation; sixth, strengthen open innovation and cooperation.

    Artificial Intelligence (AI), as a core driver propelling socioeconomic development, is triggering a dual paradigm shift in scientific research (AI for Science, AI4S) and engineering technology (AI for Engineering, AI4E). This paper systematically elaborates on the driving forces, mechanisms, and practical pathways for the paradigm shift in digital ecosystem network development driven by AI4E. It points out that the traditional development paradigm of digital ecosystem networks faces a fundamental conflict between "rigid architectures and diversified scenarios", necessitating reconstruction with the goals of being "hyper-converged, highly trustworthy, and integrated". The paper introduces the critical foundations, technological underpinnings, and operational mechanisms for this AI4E-driven paradigm shift in digital ecosystem networks. It delineates the main characteristics of the new paradigm from perspectives including mindset, methodology, practical norms, and developmental pathways. Furthermore, it presents practical explorations of AI4E-empowered transformation: proposing the Polymorphic Intelligent Network Environment (PINE) based on Generative AI to forge the "second curve" of network technology systems; introducing On-Wafer Generative Vari-Structure Computing to foster new "chip species" of intelligent computing power; promoting endogenous safety and security (ESS) to empower the resilience engineering of digital system networks, thereby enhancing the endogenous security of AI application systems; and advocating for the construction of the "Hyper-Converged Networks and Intelligent Computing Testbed" as a major scientific facility. This testbed will validate the scientific conjecture that "structure determines efficiency/security/diversity", providing support for building an independent knowledge system, advancing independent sci-tech innovation, and deepening reforms in self-reliant talent training. The study provides both a theoretical framework and technological pathways for the paradigm evolution of digital ecosystem networks in the AI era.

    Following the full value chain of "feedstocks–technologies–processes–products," biomanufacturing is rapidly advancing toward high efficiency and sustainability. This review first analyzes the limitations of traditional grain−based feedstocks and highlights the latest developments in sustainable raw material systems—including non−food resources, biomass, and one−carbon substrates—which collectively support the establishment of a secure and robust feedstock base for biomanufacturing. On the technology side, we systematically examine advances in foundational tools such as gene editing, metabolic engineering, computational design, and artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing their roles in the precise design of chassis cells, industrial enzymes, and high−performance microbial strains. These technologies are driving biomanufacturing toward higher efficiency, modularization, and intelligence. At the process level, key innovations in intelligent cell factories, precision fermentation, online monitoring, digital twins, and the domestic development of smart equipment are discussed, highlighting the transition from experience−driven operations to model−driven and intelligent decision−making. On the product side, we summarize industrialization progress and application prospects across pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, and materials. Finally, we address critical bottlenecks facing China's biomanufacturing—such as limited autonomy in strain development and reliance on imported high−end equipment—and propose directions for key technological breakthroughs, providing guidance for future technology roadmaps and industrial development.

    The intelligence of unmanned vessel systems is undergoing a profound transformation from remote control to embodied autonomous forms, with the core being the realization of advanced intelligent behavior through multimodal perception, environmental interaction, and closed−loop learning. This paper systematically reviews the key advances of embodied intelligence in unmanned vessels, highlighting that semantic control loops, digital twin validation, and evaluation systems are moving from methodological exploration to engineering integration, and have already begun to provide preliminary application support in port and inland waterway scenarios. However, current technologies still face bottlenecks in perception stability, rule interpretability, and deployment resources. Therefore, this paper recommends focusing on breakthroughs in strengthening autonomous closed−loop intelligence systems, establishing standard and trustworthy validation environments, and promoting lightweight and collaborative deployment to enhance system reliability, compliance, and scalability, providing support for the development of intelligent ship technology and the implementation of our marine strategy.

    Embodied intelligence represents a new stage in the evolution of artificial intelligence, marking a transition from "perception−cognition" to an integrated paradigm of "perception−cognition−action." The Vision−Language−Action (VLA) model provides a critical technological pathway for enabling autonomous agent operation in the real world by unifying visual perception, language understanding, and action generation. This paper systematically reviews the development trajectory and representative achievements of VLA technologies, and summarizes their architectural paradigm, which includes multi−modal perception, semantic fusion mechanisms, reinforcement and imitation learning, world models, and hierarchical action output. By considering application scenarios such as autonomous driving, human–computer interaction, and industrial equipment, we further analyze the core challenges faced by VLA development, including the scarcity of data resources, limited generalization and transferability, insufficient interpretability, and increasing computational demands, and we outline the future development trends.

    Major depressive disorder is a prevalent psychological disorder, and screening is currently based on depression diagnostic scales and physician interviews. Based on artificial intelligence technology, computer−aided depression detection is an emerging approach to depression screening. Aiming at the current status and shortcomings of traditional measurement tools, this paper reviews current computer−aided depression detection methods, discusses the current research status of depression detection datasets and depression detection methods based on multimodal data such as facial pictures, speech, and text, and summarizes and outlooks the advantages and challenges of computer−aided depression detection. Computer−aided depression detection can provide a relatively simple and standardized screening method with the potential to synergize with the widely used scale screening and physician diagnosis, but still faces the challenges of the insufficient interpretation of model parameters and features, the Chinese dataset to be expanded, and the small sample size of the existing dataset. In the future, researchers need to further improve the sample size and model accuracy of depression detection datasets, conduct theoretical and experimental analyses of feature extraction and model construction, and promote the clinical application of computer−aided depression detection.

    Helium is a strategically key resource closely tied to national development and is one of China's extremely scarce mineral resources. Currently, the assessments of helium generation often rely on test results from core or field samples, making it difficult to conduct continuous, comprehensive evaluations of a region. To address this issue, considering that the helium generation is a function of the concentrations of radioactive elements uranium or thorium and time, a method for assessing helium resource based on natural gamma−ray spectrometry logging is proposed. By employing gamma detectors to measure the gamma spectra resulting from natural radioactivity in rock layers and analyzing the variations in gamma spectra caused by different radioactive nuclides, it becomes feasible to continuously determine the uranium and thorium content of each stratum. This result can then be utilized to analyse the helium release content of rock minerals, identify primary helium−bearing rocks, and evaluate the potential helium resources within the strata. Currently, this approach is being applied to forecast helium resource distribution and conduct strategic assessments in the Gucheng, Yakela, Tuofutai, Hetianhe area, as well as across the entire Tarim Basin. In the future, it is necessary to further refine the determination of the helium generation amount in crystalline basement, absolute ages of helium−releasing minerals, and the process of helium dissipation in gas reservoirs during the use of this method.
