(China Daily) In an age of intelligent machines, sensors have become the invisible organs of modern technology, giving devices the power to see, hear, feel and respond.  

And increasingly, these sensors are being made not in Silicon Valley, but in Bengbu, a once-sleepy industrial city in East China's Anhui province.  

With over 200 companies devoted to smart sensing technology, the city is fast becoming the "beating heart" of the country's sensor industry and has been dubbed by industry insiders as "China Sensor Valley".  

At the heart of this transformation lie small, often invisible sensors called micro-electro-mechanical systems, or MEMS, sensors.

(Xinhua) Chinese researchers have succeeded in synthesizing the hundred-micron-scale hexagonal diamond, a material primarily found in meteorites, which is harder than the ordinary diamond found on Earth.  

The study, published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, promises to redefine the limits of superhard materials, according to the researchers.

(Xinhua) Months after DeepSeek's dazzling debut, China's generative AI firms are still racing with unabated fervor, clear proof that the competition in this sector is still dynamic, with vast innovation potential remaining.  

This month, a parade of Chinese AI foundation models dropped major updates. Moving beyond the "chatbot" label, these open-source models are transforming into smart agents engineered to solve complex, real-world problems.

(China Daily) In the first half of 2025, the number of generative artificial intelligence products increased rapidly in China and there was a continuous expansion of application scenarios, according to a report issued on Monday.  

The China Internet Network Information Center's report showed that by March, 346 generative AI services had been registered with the Cyberspace Administration of China, the country's top internet regulator, propelling Chinese AI products onto the global stage.

(Xinhua) China's gaming market saw its actual sales revenue reach a record high of 168 billion yuan (about 23.5 billion U.S. dollars) in the first half of 2025, up 14.08 percent year on year, according to the ongoing China International Digital Entertainment Industry Conference (CDEC) Summit Forum in Shanghai.  

During the period, the number of Chinese game users approached 679 million. The actual sales revenue of Chinese self-developed games in overseas markets exceeded 9.5 billion U.S.

(China Daily) A research team from Westlake University has recently developed China's first hyperspectral camera based on snapshot compressive imaging technology, according to the Science and Technology Daily.  

The camera, created by Westlake Intelligent Vision Technology (Hangzhou) Co Ltd — a startup incubated by the university — marks a major step in intelligent imaging systems by integrating advanced optical hardware with intelligent algorithms.

(Xinhua) China launched a Long March-12 carrier rocket on Monday, sending a group of internet satellites into space.  

The rocket lifted off at 6:21 p.m. from the Hainan commercial spacecraft launch site in the southern island province of Hainan. It successfully placed the payloads, the seventh group of low-orbit internet satellites, into preset orbit.  

The launch marked the 587th mission of the Long March series carrier rockets, according to the launch site.
