I've been importing this material from China for years. However, shipping is getting more and more expensive, slow and unreliable. It would be a great to have a local manufacturer/supplier but I don't even know what it is. It is advertised as "imitation gold leaf" but... Imitation gold leaf from...
It looks like backlash against China's ZERO COVID policy is finally causing its end. The upside is they succeeded in delaying mass infection until (presumably) everyone was vaccinated. The downside is now they're getting the organic mass infections they'd been largely able to prevent until...
On Monday, 3/21 a China Eastern Airlines 737-800 crashed, killing 132 people.
What is unusual about this crash is that it happened from the cruise phase of flight. This is usually the safest phase, as the plane is flying straight and level most of the time and nothing is changing so there...
I'm in a tough spot right now, and would appreciate learning about my options.
I'm fully vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine, and reasonably good for travel options to most western countries for business trips now (modulo the Delta variant surge and its restrictions). I really need to travel...
China says its navy is taking the lead in game-changing electromagnetic railguns
Rest of the article is on the site. The news is available on multiple news outlets, including pictures on Twitter.
I recall the US Navy was developing a railgun a few years ago, while Russia was still in the R&D...
Hello,
To ensconce this question properly, we know that some of the major contributions to the discipline of rigid body and classical particle dynamics came from: Newton, Euler, Hamilton, Lagrange and so on... (no need to suggest other western names right now - I am aware of them).
However I...
Hi guys.
I've recently seen a documentary that spoke about how toxic are toys which are made in China and sold in local shop.
It' a great problem because they contains an amount of plastics that do not respect European standard ( in my case) but I suppose also USA standards.
They have a terrible...
It goes without question that the top schools of most countries are pretty good, but how do we compare the average and bad universities from different countries?

I came across this article, thought it was worth mentioning.

A Chinese group has become the first to inject a person with cells that contain genes edited using the revolutionary CRISPR-Cas9 technique...
Here is an interesting item I would like to share. It seems that China has drastically pushed the boundaries of power transmission grid operations. They boldly go where no man has gone before. :wink:
How and why?

China launched five small satellites Thursday, including the X-ray Pulsar Navigation satellite that eventually could help spacecraft headed for deep space navigate, the latest piece of China’s ambitious space program, NASA Spaceflight.com reported.

China has successfully launched the world's first quantum-enabled satellite, state media said.
It was carried on a rocket which blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in China's north west early on Tuesday.
The satellite is named after the ancient Chinese scientist and...
Taiwan, Chinese presidents to meet for first time since '49

Let's see where this goes.
Good time for China to recognize Taiwan as a separate nation - a situation like Great Britain and the US, or US and...
Hi everyone I'm a Chinese American and I love doing science. I've been learning Chinese to reconnect with my original culture but I'm wondering if Mainland China is also a good place to do scientific research right now too. Specifically I'm interested in the field of bio-energy and stuff.

I'm a nuclear physicist. 25 years experience in the Canadian nuclear power industry.

I'm not sure how many of you watch a show on Adult Swim called China IL but I have a question about it. The school wins the math competition and to celebrate they go out and destroy the town. Towards the end of the video someone spray paints an equation that is equal to anarchy and I'm not...
When we think about first world nations and world leaders in politics, ethics, economics, and science, we think of Western nations that are built on democracy, human rights, and freedom. But now we are facing a new situation where the prospective new world leader will spread its influence while...

This research is certainly interesting. I think it's about time someone started doing this kind of work. Personally, I think finding the "ingredients" for intelligence is...
I find it surprising that China has found a way to measure intelligence! Let's kill all diversity and raise a new generation that are good at taking IQ tests.
I'm thinking of taking one of my semesters, autumn 2013, in China. I would need to take something equivalent to a statistical physics course while there, but most universities with a physics degree should have that. I'm a Norwegian and will be at the end of a bachelor if that has any relevance...
The trade balance between EU and China is -156.3€ billions, yet today EU agreed with China (http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/09/20/uk-eu-china-summit-idUKBRE88J0QR20120920) to avoid trade protectionist measures. They keep doing this because China keeps buying EU countries' bonds and has many...
