The first 1000 kV ultra-high voltage alternating-current transmission project in China started operation in 2009. In 2019, the world's first ±1100 kV ultra-high-voltage direct-current transmission project began operating in China. China has the world's largest ultra-high voltage transmission network, which enables large-scale and cross-regional optimal allocation of energy. [Photo by Liu Wenlong/for chinadaily.com.cn]

Jeremy Lawson, senior vice-president of Clarivate, said all these fronts are essential to global social and economic development, and China is also at the forefront of many of these subjects.

Strategic collaboration with key global research organizations such as the CAE is central to advancing global scientific research and driving sustainable development, he added.

Yang Baofeng, an academician at the CAE, said the report tracks frontier engineering research that may yield new breakthroughs and innovations, and allow scientists, industries and policymakers to identify the latest engineering trends and adjust research and policy priorities accordingly.

Yang said this year's engineering frontiers had three main focuses: interdisciplinary research, the use of artificial intelligence in various engineering and industrial fields, and tackling major common issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change.
