Industry-University-Research’s deep integration has been continuously strengthened, and the "use first and pay later" pilot of scientific and technological achievements has attracted nearly 1,000 patent services from universities and research institutes to innovate. Support the formation of a group of innovative consortia led by leading scientific and technological enterprises.
The training and introduction of talents have been further strengthened, and the joint training of graduate students by new R&D institutions and universities has been normalized.
Zhongguancun’s pilot reform measures will be promoted to the whole demonstration area.
Major scientific and technological achievement 3: a new generation of 256-core blockchain dedicated acceleration chip
Beijing Microchip Blockchain and Edge Computing Research Institute strengthened the original innovation and successfully developed a new generation of 256-core high-performance blockchain acceleration chips. This chip integrates strong computing power and high security, dispatches 256 cores for multi-thread concurrent operation, can handle 1 million blockchain intelligent contract transactions per second, and provides efficient privacy computing capability to realize "data is available and invisible", which can support the construction of a new digital infrastructure with high performance, high credibility and high security.
The fourth major scientific and technological achievement: ultra-fast instantaneous energy band regulation of semiconductor black phosphorus
The interaction between light and matter is an important means to explore the micro-physical mechanism of low-dimensional quantum materials such as graphene, topology and superconductivity, among which ultra-short and ultra-intense pulsed laser can also be used as an effective means to regulate the electronic structure and state of matter. Using femtosecond pulsed laser, Tsinghua University scientific research team filmed the "movie" of electronic structure evolution with time on the ultra-fast time scale of one trillionth of a second, and realized the measurement and instantaneous regulation of non-equilibrium electronic structure. Using this technology, the research team observed the instantaneous energy band regulation in the semiconductor material black phosphorus for the first time, that is, the electronic structure of black phosphorus evolved from the parabolic shape of equilibrium to the shape of "Mexican hat", and successfully rewritten the "gene" of black phosphorus by femtosecond laser. This important scientific discovery not only expands the frontier of non-equilibrium physics knowledge, but also lays a solid foundation for the future ultra-fast time scale regulation of material properties, which indicates that China has made important progress in the international frontier research field of non-equilibrium physics in condensed matter physics and material science.
Major scientific and technological achievement 5: reprogramming system of human cytochemistry
Pluripotent stem cells have unlimited self-renewal and differentiation into all functional cell types of organisms. These magical characteristics make them widely used in cell therapy, drug screening and other fields, and they are the most critical "seed cells" in the field of regenerative medicine. For the first time in the world, Peking University’s scientific research team achieved a major breakthrough in using small chemical molecules to regulate the fate of cells. Through the establishment of human cytochemical reprogramming method, the transformation of different somatic cell types was realized, human skin cells were transformed into pluripotent stem cells, and islet cells were successfully prepared. Compared with the traditional technology, the chemical reprogramming system is safer and simpler, easy to standardize and control, and solves the underlying technical problems in the development of stem cells and regenerative medicine.
Major scientific and technological achievement 6: a new generation of quantum computing cloud platform
Quantum computing cloud platform is the combination of quantum computer and cloud computing technology, and it is the display of comprehensive performance of quantum computing. A large-scale and stable quantum computing cloud platform was born in Beijing Institute of Quantum Information Science and named "Quantum Future -QUAFU". Superconducting quantum chips with 136, 18 and 10 qubits have been launched on the platform, which is the largest cloud platform with the highest number of bits per chip in China, and has achieved completely independent research and development and localization. The platform is compatible with the international standard of open quantum assembly language, and provides users with a quantum computing platform that is convenient for submitting computing tasks and carrying out important scientific research. The control and reading accuracy of the platform exceeds 98%, reaching the international advanced level.
Major scientific and technological achievement VII: escape mechanism of humoral immunity and characteristics of mutation evolution in Covid-19.
The research team of Changping Laboratory independently developed Qualcomm-based deep mutation scanning technology, which cracked the escape mechanism of various amino acid mutations of Omicron strain in COVID-19 to neutralizing antibodies, first revealed the phenomenon and principle of Covid-19’s convergent evolution, and constructed the evolution prediction model of Covid-19 receptor binding domain (RBD) for the first time in the world, and accurately predicted the future evolution trend of related strains, providing key theoretical and technical support for the development of antibody drugs and broad-spectrum vaccines.
Major scientific and technological achievement VIII: technological revolution and strategic breakthrough of continental shale oil
China Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Co., Ltd. innovated the geological theory of in-source enrichment of continental shale oil, established five key technical systems, such as experimental characterization of continental shale oil occurrence, evaluation of "dessert area/section", rotary steering optimal drilling, horizontal well volume fracturing development, and advanced reserve of underground shale heating conversion, and formed a number of independent intellectual property rights, including 11 national and industrial standards and 168 invention patents, and built three countries, including Gulong in Songliao Basin, Longdong in Ordos Basin and Jimsar in Junggar Basin.
Major scientific and technological achievements IX: China discipline and frontier field 2035 development strategy series
"China discipline and frontier field 2035 development strategy series" was officially released. The series was jointly organized by China Academy of Sciences and the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and invited more than 3,000 academicians and experts in related fields to study together. It took three years to form a series of 38 books, covering the development of China disciplines and frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, synthetic science and advanced materials, which will become an important reference for the development of science and technology.
Major scientific and technological achievement X: International scientific and technological organizations landed in Beijing
At present, international scientific and technological organizations such as International Hydrogen Fuel Cell Association, World Robotics Cooperation Organization, International Intelligent Manufacturing Alliance, International Intermediate Science Organization and Asian Simulation Alliance have successively landed in Beijing. Beijing will build an international science and technology organization headquarters cluster in Chaoyang District, attracting more international organizations to land and empowering the international science and technology innovation center to further integrate into the global innovation network.
