China succeeds in wind power test at 4,000 metres with helium airship

China has successfully tested a helium airship that generated electricity at an altitude of 4,000 metres and returned to the ground. IT outlet TechRadar said the trial was introduced as the world’s first and that the craft was similar in length to a Boeing 747. The S4000 produces power using turbines and sends electricity to a ground base through a tether. CCTV said it completed ascent, generation and return in one test cycle.

Alibaba AI finds 4 previously unknown superconductor candidates, verified in experiments

Alibaba Group Holding\'s research arm DAMO Academy unveiled an AI agent, Elements Clo, designed to discover superconducting materials. DAMO said the system identified four previously unreported candidate compounds and verified them in experiments. It said the model was trained on 125 million molecular and crystal structures and uses a specialised foundation model with 1 billion parameters. DAMO said it screened about 2.4 million stable crystal structures in 28 GPU hours and narrowed them to about 68,000 candidates.
