News Broadcast: Major Science Infrastructure Construction Accelerates Across the Board, Innovative Achievements Emerge

Major science and technology infrastructure is a powerful tool for building a strong science and technology nation. Since the beginning of this year, the construction of major science infrastructure in China has accelerated across the board, with original achievements continuously emerging, rapidly transforming from a "source" of basic research into a "strong magnetic field" that fosters disruptive technologies and cultivates new quality productive forces.

To date, China has over 70 national major science and technology infrastructure projects under construction or in operation, ranking second globally in overall scale, with some facilities entering the world's top tier in comprehensive capabilities. Distinctive clusters have taken shape in Beijing Huairou, Shanghai Zhangjiang, Anhui Hefei, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

On Science Island in Hefei, Anhui, leveraging the construction of facilities such as the Steady High Magnetic Field and the artificial sun nuclear fusion experiment, nearly 50 enterprises have been incubated in fields including superconductivity, magnets, cryogenics, materials, and plasma applications.

During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China will also systematically deploy a batch of major science and technology infrastructure projects, including a high-precision ground-based time service system and a deep geotechnical engineering disturbance simulation facility, to enhance the clustering effect of innovation resources and build a source of original innovation.
