The country leads the way in 37 majors out of 44 – Wel.nl

It seems that China has surpassed the United States in science. China leads the way in 37 of the 44 fields studied. In the field of synthetic biology and nanomaterials, the state even threatens with a monopoly.

The United States and other Western countries are losing the race to China when it comes to developing new technology and retaining talent, a new study from Australian Institute of Strategic Policy where Watchman write about.

According to the think tank, China is leading the way in the development of batteries, ultrasonic, and radio frequency communications, such as 5G and 6G. The United States is still leading in just seven scientific areas, including vaccines, quantum computers, and missile launch systems.

The Australian researchers looked at “high-impact” research on critical and emerging technologies that have been published in major scientific journals and often cited by other scientists.

Our research shows that China has built the foundations to position itself as a world superpower in science and technology. in the report.

“the Critical Technology Tracker He shows that for some technologies, all of the top ten research institutes in the world are located in China, and together they publish nine times as many influential research as the second, usually the United States.”

The Chinese Academy of Sciences ranks first or second in most of the 44 areas of technological research. For this, the country relies heavily on Western talent. “One-fifth of the major papers were written by researchers trained in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand,” the think tank writes.
