The 11th China (Shanghai) International Technology Fair commenced on June 11, 2025, featuring an exhibition area of 35,000 square meters with four themed exhibition zones, a trading service area, and a trading facilitation events area. The three-day event highlights frontier and pioneering technologies, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence and innovation. Notably, Chinese researchers showcased the "In-Situ Lunar Soil Basalt Fiber Manufacturing Equipment" for the first time, which uses Chang'e-5 lunar soil samples to produce superfine fibers thinner than human hair yet stronger than steel. These fibers, with diameters between 10 to 20 micrometers, were fabricated using vacuum drawing technology and high-temperature melting at 1400 to 1500 degrees Celsius. This technology holds potential applications for China's lunar base construction. Additionally, China launched the Zhangheng-1 02 electromagnetic monitoring satellite from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to support research on earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption predictions, and extreme space weather events. In a separate development, Chinese scientists tested a quantum communication technology during the launch of the Yuanxingzhe rocket, which ascended to 2.5 kilometers and established a highly secure communication channel with Earth.
Chinese scientists have conducted an amazing experiment! When launching the Yuanxingzhe rocket, they tested a unique communication technology of the future — quantum. The rocket rose to 2.5 km and established a highly secure communication channel with Earth. The main "feature" is https://t.co/0palb1f7gz
The China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite or #Zhangheng-1 02 satellite, was launched from #Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China on Saturday.
