ZHUHAI, China: China's drive for self-sufficiency in aerospace and its growing military prowess will be on display at the country's largest air show this week, in an event set against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic and trade frictions with the West.

The normally biennial Airshow China in the southern city of Zhuhai, delayed by a year due to COVID-19, will be a mostly domestic affair because of tight quarantine rules.

"The fact that Airshow China is happening at all, when the global air show calendar has been pretty disrupted, allows China to show it has returned to post-COVID normalcy," said Douglas Barrie, a senior fellow for military aerospace at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).

Local aerospace and defence firms have ramped up their presence significantly. Major Western suppliers like Airbus and Boeing will send their China-based teams, and there will also be a virtual component for those unable to travel.

The country's efforts to improve homegrown aerospace technology will be in the spotlight at a time of a growing strategic rivalry with the West.

"As China faces increasing threats from the West, it needs to improve its military-industrial, aviation and aerospace capabilities," said Song Zhongping, a military commentator and former PLA instructor on missile technology.

Trade frictions with the West are also accelerating China's desire to reduce its dependency on foreign-made commercial products.

ARMS RACE
More than 100 aircraft have registered for display in the air or on the ground as China shows off its military might and its space ambitions, including a next-generation crewed rocket and heavy-lift launch vehicle.

State media reported the J-16D electronic warfare version of the J-16 fighter jet will make its show debut.

The flying displays will feature some products China wants to export, including the AG600, the world's largest amphibious aircraft, designed for fire-fighting and sea-rescue roles.

The Wing Loong II, an armed drone similar to the American MQ-9 Reaper, has already been sold to customers including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan as China competes against Western rivals for more military exports.

A new series of drone products named Feihong, including an unmanned helicopter, loitering missiles and a new generation of stealth drones, will make their debut at the show.

"Beijing is intent on not just pushing locally made military aircraft and aerospace technologies, but also its ability to address almost any military requirement out there," said Kelvin Wong, a Singapore-based defence technology analyst at Janes.

The show comes as analysts warn Asia may be sliding into an accelerating arms race as countries react to China's military growth.

The United States and its Asian allies have expressed growing alarm at Beijing's military buildup, pressure on Taiwan and deployments in the contested South China Sea.

Chinese-claimed Taiwan has complained for a year or more of repeated flights by China's air force near the democratically governed island.

American & Japanese Car Makers Are Going To Be Left Behind By China​

The automotive industry is currently in the midst of a paradigm shift. Well, multiple paradigm shifts, really.
The first is the move towards electrification. More and more car brands are investing heavily in electric vehicles (EVs) with some even committing to completely phase out fossil fuel-powered cars in the near future, such as Bentley, Jaguar, Lotus, MINI and Volvo. Even Ferrari has released its first hybrid vehicle, the SF90 Stradale.
The second is the rise of China as an automotive powerhouse. China has long since eclipsed the United States as the world’s biggest car manufacturing nation, but Chinese cars have long suffered from a (not entirely undeserved) perception that they’re low-quality, and haven’t always succeeded outside of the People’s Republic.
But that’s changing rapidly. In countries like Australia, Sweden and Norway, vehicles from Chinese marques such as the MG3 and Polestar 2 have become some of the best-selling vehicles in their respective markets. The paradigms are colliding, too: China leads the world in EV manufacturing and a Chinese EV, the Wuling Hongguang Mini, is now outpacing the Tesla Model 3 as the current best-selling EV.
In short, the ‘threat’ from China is real. But not all brands are doing what they need to, to keep up with China – or the industry more broadly. Specifically, many Japanese and US auto makers, who used to be on top of the industry, are falling behind.

The Toyota Mirai, Toyota’s flagship hydrogen car. While hydrogen cars do have some environmental benefits, it’s now clear that it’s not going to be the ‘technology of the future’. Image: WhichCar
Japanese car makers, in particular, have become bizarrely reluctant to pursue battery electric vehicles (BEVs, i.e. totally electric cars). Toyota, the world’s biggest car brand, is probably the worst culprit. Whilst they were an early innovator when it came to mild hybrids, such as the Prius, Toyota has stagnated in recent years, doubling down on mild hybrid and hydrogen technologies when it’s become clear that plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and BEVs are the way of the future.
Indeed, Toyota has actively lobbied the US Congress to slow policy moves towards BEV adoption, The New York Times reports, and the company’s president, Akio Toyoda, has even called EVs “overhyped”, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Toyota’s not the only culprit, either: Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda et al have all been very slow when it comes to BEVs despite previously being innovators when it came to electrification (although it must be noted that Honda has actually committed to divesting itself of petrol and diesel engines by 2040, the first and so far only Japanese car maker to do so.)
For some American auto makers, it’s a similar story. While General Motors is planning to transition to carbon-neutral by 2040 and Ford of Europe has announced that its entire passenger vehicle range (plus two-thirds of its light-commercial vehicle range) will be fully electric by 2030, Ford’s American operations haven’t followed suit. Stellantis, the European mega-corporation that now owns the Chrysler Group, has announced ambitious plans to electrify 96% of its American offerings by 2025 – but that notably excludes their fuel-thirsty Dodge and RAM brands.
And that’s crucial. Fuel-thirsty trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado, Ford F-Series and RAM 1500 are these American brands’ biggest sellers. It amounts to greenwashing: there’s little point electrifying other models if your biggest sellers are still fossil-fuel powered. Things may change in the truck space, however, with the arrival of BEVs like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T…
The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, a car that’s perhaps emblematic of America’s automotive predicament: spending too much time making fuel-thirsty, niche vehicles on outdated chassis, rather than investing in new chassis and new technologies. Image: Top Gear
The second area in which Japanese and US auto makers are falling behind China in is quality. American cars have always been considered somewhat dubious when it comes to overall quality, but Japan used to be the gold standard – that reputation is now slowly evaporating.
As Japanese auto makers have moved production offshore to countries like Thailand, Mexico and indeed, the United States, their bulletproof reputation has taken somewhat of a hit. South Korean brands have largely supplanted Japanese ones when it comes to making affordable, quality, reliable cars. Hell, they’re even following the Japanese template of moving into luxury vehicles: Hyundai finding impressive success with their premium Genesis marque, for example.
Something that’s very telling about American car quality in particular, however, is how Chinese-made versions of American-designed cars are coming off production lines better made than their American counterparts.
“Comparing vehicles that are built both in the West and China is particularly illuminating,” Tom Stacey, a senior lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University in England relates.

“Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y cars are both built in the US and China, and owners in Europe have reported that the Chinese versions are better. I hear that their all-important panel gaps are tighter, and fewer trips to the repair shop are required.”

So what do the US and Japan need to do if they want to stay on top in the car game?
Simple. Embrace electrification more earnestly; not as a fad but as the future of motoring. That’s the first step. Second, they need to go back to the drawing board when it comes to quality control, and stop ‘phoning it in’. Part of this has to do with their reliance on stringing out vehicle designs and platforms for far longer than they really need to, in order to cut costs (something the Japanese are a little more guilty of than the Americans).
Of course, it’s easier said than done. But the reality is this: Europe is making all the fun and interesting cars, and China is making all the cheap, electric cars. The US and Japan don’t want to get left behind.

China shows off advanced stealth drones, spacecraft at air show​

The showcase of stealth drones sends a message to both international and domestic audiences, experts say.( Reuters: Aly Song )

China has showcased its military air power at a national air show amid regional tensions over Taiwan and the South China Sea.

Key points:​

• China is showcasing drones, jets, passenger planes and space craft
• The show of force comes at a time when regional tensions over Taiwan are high
• Experts say its also a chance for Beijing to boost national pride
• Share this
• Ask a question
• Popular Now
• Go Deeper

The Zhuhai Airshow is usually held every other year, but was postponed from November last year due to COVID-19. It showcases passenger planes and spacecraft as well as military hardware.
The 2021 show has a sharp focus on China's domestic and regional priorities, taking place not long after the announcement of the new Australia, United Kingdom and United States defence pact (AUKUS).
Canberra-based University of New South Wales senior lecturer in international relations and development, Dr Pichamon Yeophantong, told the ABC the point of the air show, like any show of force, was to demonstrate how China is modernising its military forces.
"It also speaks to China's fast advancing space program and its broader ambitions in that regard."

There are ethical questions over the use of drones, including China's Wing Loong I drone.( Reuters: Aly Song )
China showcased a prototype of the CH-6 long-endurance drone, capable of reconnaissance and strike operations, as well as the WZ-7 high-altitude surveillance drone.
Flying demonstrations included a smoke-trailing display by J-10 fighters from the Bayi aerobatic team, while China's newer J-20 stealth fighter — which made its debut at Zhuhai in 2016 — roared above dignitaries, with domestic rather than Russian-made engines for the first time, state media said.
The Singapore-based defence editor at Janes, Kelvin Wong, said the scope and scale of "high-end, war-fighting capability" that was on display was "definitely a step-up from previous shows".
He also said the J-16D electronic warfare aircraft was an important new addition to China's air force.
Mr Wong noted that its appearance provided "critical new electronic warfare elements designed to degrade an adversary's ability to attack and engage other People's Liberation Army air assets".
Elsewhere, the Global Times said the aircraft could carry missiles and could conduct "electronic jamming or deception".

China is showcasing its military prowess, including the WZ-8 high-altitude stealth drone.( Reuters: Aly Song )
Analysts, including Asian aerospace and defence specialist Bradley Perrett, said the aircraft's debut at the show appeared to signal a push to counter Western and Taiwanese defences.
"The J-16D is a special threat to Taiwan since it can attack anti-aircraft defences that Taiwan must rely on heavily in any Chinese attempt to forcibly take control of the island," Mr Perrett said.
China claims Taiwan as its own territory and has stepped up military and political pressure to try to force the democratically ruled island to accept Chinese sovereignty.
Speaking at an opening ceremony in Zhuhai, China's air force commander Chang Dingqiu said its officers would "resolutely defend the reunification of the motherland".
Taiwan this month proposed extra defence spending of almost $US9 billion ($12.4 billion) over the next five years, including on new missiles, in the face of what it called a "severe threat".

'Sense of national pride'​

The air show sends a message to both international observers and a domestic audience.( Reuters: Aly Song )
But Dr Yeophantong said it was important to remember the show was not purely sending a message to international observers, and pointed out it was not the first time China showcased its military prowess, and it was not the only country that did so.
"Beijing, to this day, still suffers from a siege mentality, meaning that it's very prone to thinking that other countries are trying to contain China's rise, but also contain the influences of the CCP in particular," she said.
"But we also have to remember that a lot of the time, it's also targeting China's own domestic audience."

Drones are a focus at the air show, including this display of a Twin-Tailed Scorpion drone.( Reuters: Aly Song )
State media coverage and articles in the jingoistic tabloid Global Times conveyed a "strong nationalistic streak", she said.
"In one sense, it's about creating a sense of national pride," Dr Yeophantong said.
Another factor was the commercial element to the air show, Dr Yeophantong said, because China "has indicated that it is very keen on exporting more of its armed drone technology to other countries".
She said China had exported drones to more than a dozen countries — according to some estimates — and that some had been advertised as "dual use", for civilian or military purposes.
"This has also been a major concern, as you might imagine, given that there's still ethical questions surrounding drone technology," she said.
Dr Yeophantong highlighted ongoing discussions about the extent to which unmanned drones could be powered by artificial intelligence as well as questions about how drones remove the human element from war, or make conflict feel artificial to pilots sitting in computer rooms operating weapons remotely.
"But Chinese exports also … [could] enable the proliferation of armed drones to other countries, some of which are politically not terribly stable countries," she said.

China ‘Decodes' F-22, F-35 Puzzle; Flaunts 'World’s First Anti-Stealth Radar' That Can Detect Stealthiest Of Aircraft​

China has recently showcased what was touted to be a revolutionary radar at the Zhuhai airshow. The YLC-8E is a significant addition to the People’s Liberation Army’s anti-stealth capabilities, a development seen as a major challenge for the US’ highly advanced F-35 and F-22 fighter jets.

https://eurasiantimes.com/france-help-south-korea-go-nuclear-north-korean-missile/?amp​

The EurAsian Times had previously [COLOR=rgb(var(--google-blue-300))]reported [/COLOR]that the China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) unveiled a prototype claiming that it could identify stealth aircraft in-flight.
Going by open-source intelligence, such a technology would likely work by generating an electromagnetic (EMW) storm which would serve to acquire the location of incoming stealth aircraft.
Researchers at China’s Tsinghua University had said they intend to develop a full-sized prototype. Chinese scientists explained that high-energy quantum particles would be able to acquire targets not typically visible to radars.
However, physicist Jeffrey Shapiro, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a pioneer of the quantum radar idea, opined that the process is fraught with far too many technical issues for it to be of any use.
An image was posted on social media of what was speculated to be China’s YLC-8E anti-stealth radar. (via Twitter)
Nevertheless, the Chinese research team has asserted in its paper that the EMW storm led to 95 percent stealth detection. Another interesting find was that the sensitivity of the radar did not suffer despite the increase in target distance.

[COLOR=rgb(var(--google-blue-300))]NATO Wants Turkey To Dump Russian S-400 Defense System For French-Italian Aster Missiles[/COLOR]​

The quality of stealth materials also did not seem to make a difference. It was further claimed that this detection would be possible from long-distance even in arduous climatic conditions.
This development gave a clear indication of China’s intent to circumvent American stealth technology.

How YLC-8E Was Developed​

The YLC-8E is the brainchild of the Chinese state-owned CETC and has been touted to be the “flagship of Chinese stealth radar”.
The device has been described as the world’s first UFH band anti-stealth radar system and also the pioneer in special high-frequency radar technology and active phase-controlled array radar coupled with a novel anti-stealth sharp device.
China’s YLC-8B anti-stealth radar.
China’s state-owned Global Times had earlier explained that the antenna of the YLC-8E is gigantic. With its high power and cutting-edge information process technology, it can detect even the most advanced stealth aircraft. It can also detect other types of targets at long range and high definition with its key parameters superior, making it superior to foreign competitors.

[COLOR=rgb(var(--google-blue-300))]Inevitable ‘Clash’ Of F-35 Stealth Jets With S-400 Missiles As Poland To Station Its US-Origin Jets Near Russian Border?[/COLOR]​

The YLC-8E has the basic features seen in any 4th-generation intelligence radar. It can be leveraged to provide critical combat command systems with actionable intelligence, integrate the intelligence collected, and even intercept aerial threats and hostile weapon systems. This stealth reportedly possesses independent guidance capabilities as well.
The YLC-8E is mandated with a myriad of crucial battlefield functions, including providing anti-aircraft alerts emanating from varying altitudes.
It is also responsible for aircraft guidance tasks and target search and acquisition. To surmise, the YLC-8E has been described as the “backbone of the radar network.”

Should US Be Worried?​

The Chinese YLC-8E system has been marketed as a super radar capable of detecting American aircraft F-22 and F-35.
The Lockheed Martin F-35 stealth fighter.
According to Song Zhongping, a Hong Kong-based military commentator and a former PLA instructor, Beijing is making technological strides in quantum-based radars and laser-based radar systems besides metric wave radars which collectively improve the military’s capabilities.
This is part of an ongoing effort to integrate the entire nation’s early warning network. China’s quest to have more advanced anti-[COLOR=rgb(var(--google-blue-300))]stealth[/COLOR] radars came as countries around the world are researching and buying stealth fighters or drones to boost their defenses. And China is attempting to ensure its airspace remains secure.
Hu Mingchun one of the directors at the Research Institute at China Electronics Technology Group told the[COLOR=rgb(var(--google-blue-300))] Global Times[/COLOR] – The antenna of the YLC-8E is enormous. With its high power and state-of-art information process technology, the YLC-8E can discover even the stealthiest of aircraft. It can also detect other targets at long range and high definition making it much superior to other radars.[/COLOR]

BEIJING: China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August, showing a capability that caught US intelligence by surprise, the Financial Times reported, citing five unnamed sources.
The report late on Saturday (Oct 16) said the Chinese military launched a rocket carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle that flew through low-orbit space, circling the globe before cruising towards its target, which it missed by about two dozen miles.

"The test showed that China had made astounding progress on hypersonic weapons and was far more advanced than US officials realised," the report said, citing people briefed on the intelligence.
China's ministry of defence did not immediately respond to a faxed request for comment from Reuters on Sunday.
The United States and Russia are also developing hypersonic missiles, and last month North Korea said it had test-fired a newly-developed hypersonic missile.

China's parliament will consider legislation to admonish parents if their young children exhibit "very bad behaviour" or commit crimes.

Key points:​

• Guardians would have to go through programs if children committed crimes
• The proposed law would force parents to arrange time for their children to rest, play and exercise
• China has also cut back on homework and banned after-school tutoring in recent months

In the draft of the family education promotion law, guardians will be reprimanded and ordered to go through family education guidance programs if prosecutors find very bad or criminal behaviour in children under their care.
"There are many reasons for adolescents to misbehave, and the lack of or inappropriate family education is the major cause," said Zang Tiewei, spokesman of the Legislative Affairs Commission under the National People's Congress (NPC).
The draft family education promotion law, which will be reviewed at the NPC Standing Committee session this week, also urges parents to arrange time for their children to rest, play, and exercise.
Beijing has exercised a more assertive paternal hand this year, from tacking the addiction of youngsters to online games, deemed a form of "spiritual opium", to clamping down on "blind" worship of internet celebrities.

In recent months, the education ministry has limited gaming hours for minors, allowing them to play online games for one hour on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only.
It has also cut back on homework and banned after-school tutoring for major subjects during the weekend and holidays, concerned about the heavy academic burden on overwhelmed children.
At the same time, China is urging young Chinese men to be less "feminine" and more "manly".
In its document titles Proposal to Prevent the Feminisation of Male Adolescents, issued in December, the education ministry urged schools to promote on-campus sports such as soccer.

BEIJING: Enterprising Chinese college graduates will be able to borrow up to 500,000 yuan (US$78,900) in the wealthy province of Zhejiang to start a business, and if it goes belly-up, the government will help pay at least 80 per cent of the loan.
The generous plan, unveiled at a news conference hosted by China's state planner on Thursday (Feb 17), underscores official concerns about job prospects for the country's millions of graduates in a labour market that has tightened due to slowing economic growth.

Zhejiang is also the testing ground of President Xi Jinping's so-called "common prosperity" drive. The province, a manufacturing powerhouse by the coast, has been tasked with piloting policies to narrow income disparities by 2025.

If graduates' startup businesses go sour, the government can help pay at least 80 per cent of their loans and 100 per cent if it is less than 100,000 yuan, Chen Zhong, vice director at Zhejiang province's Human Resources and Social Security Department, told reporters.
College graduates can also enjoy a living allowance and housing subsidies from 20,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan if they work in Zhejiang, China's fourth-biggest province by economic output.
"College graduates are valuable human resources ... This year, there are more than 10 million college graduates across the country, which is a good opportunity for us," Chen said.
Last week, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said the central government will offer special help to young entrepreneurs and roll out incentives for small companies that employ fresh graduates, estimated to reach a record 10.76 million across the country this year.

ADVERTISEMENT​

New graduates coming to Zhejiang will now be able to obtain a "hukou", or residency, with no strings attached, according to Chen, although restrictions to apply for a hukou in the downtown area of the provincial capital of Hangzhou would remain.
Hukou, aimed at ensuring urban resources are not overwhelmed by migrant workers, impose limits on homeownership and benefits for out-of-towners.
"Most projects by college students are not reliable. And the amount of money may only be useful for them to set up street stands," said a Shanghai-based venture capitalist, who declined to be identified due to company policy.

Security guard in China faces paralysis after saving girl who jumped off building, gets criticised by girl's family
He was also let go from his job.

Keyla Supharta | May 06, 2023, 12:55 PM


Follow us on Telegram for the latest updates: https://t.me/mothershipsg

A security guard in Jilin, China, has been blamed for rescuing a girl from jumping off a building, HK01 reported.

Instead of thanking him, the girl's family criticised the 28-year-old security guard for being irresponsible, drawing ire from netizens.

What happened
The incident happened in 2022.

Qu Yan (transliterated) was working as a security guard for a hospital. He received a report that a girl was about to jump off the building from the fourth floor. He immediately rushed to the scene.

He arrived on the ground floor of the hospital, which was crowded with many onlookers.

The girl was sitting on the balcony, and a jumping sheet had yet to be prepared to rescue the girl.

At that point, the girl suddenly jumped down.

Qu Yan rushed forward with his arms outstretched to catch the girl with his bare hands.

He was seriously injured from the impact and lost consciousness.

Sustained multiple fractures, girl's injury less severe
He was lying in the hospital when he woke up.

Qu Yan had multiple fractures all over his body, including arms, cervical spine, and spine. His injuries may lead to paralysis and leave him unable to stand.
The girl who jumped from the building also had a fracture, but her injury was far less severe. She recovered and was discharged from the hospital not long after.

Misfortune continues
Qu Yan's family had called the girl's family hoping she would visit Qu Yan in the hospital, but they were greeted with accusations instead.

In a video uploaded on Chinese video-sharing website bilibili, one of Qu Yan's family members could be seen calling a member of the girl's family.

"What have you done? Our child is like this now," they said. "My child is disabled. If something happens to her, you are also responsible and you have to bear the responsibility for the rest of your life."

Qu Yan's misfortune did not end there.

According to Chinese-language media Oriental Daily, because Qu Yan had no money to pay for his medical expenses, he stopped receiving medication from the hospital.

He was also let go from his job on the grounds that he had not been to work for many days.

The security company he worked for was also unwilling to bear Qu Yan's medical expenses.

Girl's family criticised by netizens
The incident aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Many criticised the girl's family for being ungrateful and cruel.

"There are all kinds of people in the world now, but you still say such things after your child was saved", one netizen said, as quoted by HK01.

Fortunately, many people stepped in to offer financial assistance to Qu Yan and his family after the incident was widely reported.

Qu Yan said that he is grateful to those who provided help, and believes "there are still many good people in this world".

He said he did not regret saving the girl's life.

China orders construction of ‘artificial sun’ nuclear reactor by 2035​

• Share

CHINA is set to start constructing an "artificial sun" that will burn a whopping seven times hotter than the real one.
The nuclear fusion reactor is being built as a matter of national priority and has been labelled "an ideal solution to the global energy challenge".

China has announced they are working together as a nation to produce a nuclear fusion reactor by 2035 that's seven times hotter than the SunCredit: China National Nuclear Corporation

China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) is in charge of getting the resources together and creating the useful tool being dubbed an "artificial sun" by the state owned company.
It has big aims of building the first industrial prototype fusion reactor by 2035 before having the clever technology available in large-scale commercial use by 2050.
In September, Lu Tiezhong, chairman of CNNC Nuclear Power, said the first power generated by controlled nuclear fusion “must come from our country, and we are working towards this goal”.
The plan is to unite 25 of China’s fusion energy research and development programs and get everyone working on the same page towards a similar goal.

The programs have previously been scattered around research institutes and private firms after not finding the success the Chinese government wanted.
CNNC vice-president Cao Shudong said in a statement on the company’s website: “Controlled nuclear fusion as an ideal solution to the global energy challenge has become the forefront of scientific and technological competition among major countries.”
Cao went on to say China needed to develop a “high-quality energy industry,” and will now do so in an attempt to focus all national resources on one key project.
Chen Rui, founder of high-tech company Startorus Fusion said nuclear fusion had become a national priority.

His company has been focused on the commercial application of fusion energy for some time now and have been busy researching and developing related technologies.
Chen said: “The State Council made it clear in a recent meeting that ‘controlled nuclear fusion is the only direction for future energy’, and the field is now developing very rapidly in Europe and the United States.
“In this context, China’s central government is starting to pay more attention to the industry.”
Some of the members involved in the ambitious project are China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Limited, the State Grid Corporation of China, four universities and a private company.

According to information posted online by CNNC, 13 members have been given the tricky task of addressing issues such as high-temperature superconducting magnets, fusion reactor materials and high-performance energy storage.
As with such a huge project, an innovation fund was set up to help get the much needed funding to quicken up the process.
Nuclear fusion is often referred to as an “artificial sun” because it has very similar properties to the Sun in our universe.
The Chinese device is set to generate energy by heating hydrogen atoms to over 100million degrees Celsius before fusing them into heavier atoms.

If this can become a reality, nuclear fusion could be a safe, clean and almost limitless source of energy.

Chinese company Betavolt has announced an atomic energy battery for consumers with a touted 50-year lifespan. The Betavolt BV100 will be the first product to launch using the firm’s new atomic battery technology, constructed using a nickel -63 isotope and diamond semiconductor material. Betavolt says that its nuclear battery will target aerospace, AI devices, medical, MEMS systems, intelligent sensors, small drones, and robots – and may eventually mean manufacturers can sell smartphones that never need charging.

Buying an electronics product that can go mains-free for 50 years would be amazing. However, the BV100, which is in the pilot stage ahead of mass production, doesn’t offer a lot of power. This 15 x 15 x 5mm battery delivers 100 microwatts at 3 volts. It is mentioned that multiple BV100 batteries can be used together in series or parallel depending on device requirements. Betavolt also asserts that it has plans to launch a 1-watt version of its atomic battery in 2025.

The new BV100 is claimed to be a disruptive product on two counts. Firstly, a safe miniature atomic battery with 50 years of maintenance-free stamina is a breakthrough. Secondly, Betavolt claims it is the only company in the world with the technology to dope large-size diamond semiconductor materials, as used by the BV100. It is using its 4th Gen diamond semiconductor material here.

In its press release about the development and production plans for the BV100, Betavolt talks about how its atomic battery is very different from similarly described power cells developed by the US and USSR in the 1960s. It says that the old nuclear batteries were large, dangerous, hot, and expensive products. For example, some old-tech atomic batteries used Plutonium as the radioactive power source. Meanwhile, the Betavolt BV100 is claimed to be safe for consumers and won’t leak radiation even if subjected to gunshots or puncture.

The new, improved levels of safety stem from the choice of materials. Betavolt’s battery uses a nickel -63 isotope as the energy source, which decays to a stable isotope of copper. This, plus the diamond semiconductor material, helps the BV100 operate stably in environments ranging from -60 to 120 degrees Celsius, according to the firm. Betavolt boasts that this battery technology is “way ahead” of European and American academic and commercial institutions.

How does Betavolt make this battery? We’ve already mentioned the essential materials, but the above diagram provides an excellent overview. The BV100 is made by “placing a 2-micron-thick nickel -63 sheet between two diamond semiconductor converters.” This construction relies on Betavolt’s “unique single-crystal diamond semiconductor that is just 10 microns thick.”

So, the current BV100 or its 1-watt successor scheduled for next year may not sound so impressive regarding peak power output. Betavolt will be well aware of devices with a greater thirst for power and teases that it is investigating isotopes such as strontium- 90, promethium- 147, and deuterium to develop atomic energy batteries with higher power levels and even longer service lives – up to 230 years.
