Chinese researchers have developed and tested a wireless power transmission system capable of sending energy to multiple moving targets at the same time, in what is being seen as a significant step towards future space-based solar power stations. According to a report by the South China Morning Post, the team successfully carried out large-scale ground tests using a 75-metre tower built at Xidian University in Xian. The system reportedly transmitted 1,180 watts of microwave power across about 100 metres while maintaining accurate beam tracking and control. Researchers also tested the technology on a moving drone travelling at roughly 30 kilometres…

China has launched a new wave of anti-desertification projects in its western regions as authorities intensify efforts to protect farmland from worsening land degradation and climate pressures. Last month, the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography began several new programmes focused on sand control, desertification prevention, and reducing wind erosion and soil salinity across Xinjiang. According to Chinese media reports, the projects are aimed at strengthening an ecological barrier designed to shield agricultural land from expanding desert conditions. China’s ‘Great Green Wall’ Expands Xinjiang remains a major testing ground for China’s vast anti-desertification campaign, often referred…

China Turns To AI As Flood Risks Rise Across Southern Provinces Weeks of heavy rainfall have once again placed large parts of southern China on flood alert, with authorities warning that this year’s rainy season could become increasingly dangerous due to overlapping weather systems, saturated soil and growing climate-related risks. Several provinces, including Guangdong and Guizhou, have already activated emergency flood responses after intense downpours triggered concerns over flash floods, landslides and urban waterlogging. Chinese meteorological agencies warned that continued rainfall across already saturated regions is significantly increasing the risk of secondary disasters, particularly in mountainous and low-lying urban areas. Beijing Warns Of Severe Flood…
