REFINING STEEL WITH CARBON DIOXIDE

Utilizing carbon dioxide in steelmaking helps offset carbon emissions while producing better quality steel.Steel is a top greenhouse gase mitter, its manufacture producing almost twice its own weight in carbon dioxide emissions, according to the World Steel Association.Decarbonizing the steel industry is now an urgent priority for nations including China, which intends to become carbon-neutral ...
Sustainable and Reliable

Beyond materials discovery and improvement,USTB is applying MGE to optimize the manufacturing process.For example, automotive steel is usually manufactured through two stages featuring complex procedures and high energy consumption. Slabs are first hot-rolled and then cold-rolled to a desired thickness. Cars produced in this high-emitting way may be levied at a higher tax rate,or even restricte...
Lighter And Stronger

Beyond laboratory research,USTB is accelerating the transition of CFRP from scientific exploration to practical engineering application.Compared with conventional materials,CFRP provides significant advantages in reducing self-weight,enhancing durability and improving structural efficiency,making it especially attractive for major civil infrastructure.According to YUE Qingrui, the advancement o...
Engineering Advanced Materials From Start to Finish

Society relies heavily on advances in materials science, with applications spanning spacecraft and infrastructure, to automobiles and LED lights. Increased demand for new and better materials calls for scientists to embrace technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence for material discovery, design, and manufacturing. One of the trailblazers in this field is the University...
Adding Strength To China's Steel Credentials

Steel alloys with ultrahigh strength (UHSSs) above 1,500 megapascals (MPa) are in great demand for infrastructure subject to extreme conditions, such as aircraft landing gears, and rocket engine cases. There are challenges presented by the need for combining increased strength and good ductility to prolong the steel’s service lifetime, saving energy and reducing emissions. A researc...
National Cneter for Materials Service Safety

USTB also puts a premium on the importance of material service safety assessment,seeking to improve the service safety of structural materials,and establish related standards and specifications for material service.“We have developed large physical testing facilities and multi-scale simulation systems under the support of Materials Service Safety Assessment Facilities(MSAF),a major national sc...
A Cleaner Way To Deal With Mining Waste

Mining produces valuable minerals for human use, but the waste it produces is a longstandingproblem. WU Aixiang, a professor of mining engineering and an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, has extensively researched the issue and found a process known as paste backfill, which transforms the tailings, left after the target minerals are removed from the ore, into paste and then fi...
A Two-dimensional Solution For Extending Moore's Law

For half a century, the rapid evolution of information technology has been described by a trend known as Moore’s Law: the number of transistors in integrated circuits doubles every two years or so. However, silicon based transistors are fast approaching their size limits, forcing researchers to look for alternative technologies. A team led by ZHANG Yue, a professor of Materials Science a...
How to stop a bullet: Metal Experts Bring China’s High Speed Trains Safely to a Halt

The latest brake materials are critical to a safe rail network.High-speed bullet trains in China use technologies developed by researchers at the University of Science and Technology Beijing to safely brake from speeds of up to 350 km/h. China’s high-speed bullet trains routinely reach operational speeds of 350 kilometers per hour. Only trains in a few countries currently operate at such speed...
Inside the Effort to Create Brand New Materials with Surprising Properties

These properties include the ability to stay the same size under extreme heat, and also the ability for materials to remain polarized for extended periods in the absence of an electric field, a phenomena known as ‘spontaneous polarization’. “By controlling materials at the atomic level, we aim to create things we haven’t even dreamed of yet,” says Xianran Xing, a chemist and the director o...
The Greener Steelmaking Progress Process That Will Help China Hit Net Zero

International expertise in low-emission steelmaking promises to help reduce the environmental impacts of Chinese industry.Inside an electric arc furnace. Electric arc furnaces are replacing blast furnaces as a more environmentally friendly way of producing steel. In this image, a blue filter allows researchers to see the smelting.Coal-guzzling blast furnaces that burn coke to smelt iron are a k...
GOING INTO THE DEEP EARTH FOR MINERALS

Critical minerals such as copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare earth elements are essential components from wind turbines and solar panels to electric vehicles and battery storage. Demand for critical minerals is set to almost triple by 2030 as the world transitions from fossil fuels to clean energy.Shallow mineral resources have been almost exhausted thus deep mining is the coming future f...
BREAK “TRILEMMA” OF NUCLEIC ACID DETECTION

Diseases and major outbreaks caused by pathogenic microorganisms (such as viruses, bacteria, etc.) pose a persistent and severe threat to human health. However, traditional nucleic acid detection technologies for pathogens have long faced the “sensitivity-cost-convenience” trilemma, where achieving high-sensitivity detection often comes at the expense of low cost and operational simplicity. T...
THE STEEL INDUSTRY’S CARBON REDUCTION REVOLUTION: LOW-CARBON SOLUTIONS FROM USTB’S LABORATORY TO GLOBAL INDUSTRY

THE STEEL INDUSTRY’S CARBON REDUCTION REVOLUTION: LOW-CARBON SOLUTIONS FROM USTB’S LABORATORY TO GLOBAL INDUSTRY USTB RESEARCHERS PIONEERS HYDROGEN-BASED REDUCTION AND SELF-REPAIRING BLAST FURNACES, CUTTING CO2 EMISSIONS AND EXTENDING EQUIPMENT LIFESPANS Steel production accounts for 6.7% of global CO₂ emissions, with ironmaking alone responsible for 70% of this footprint. As nations race to...
Eolloidal Solution Engineering for Semiconductor Electronic Devices

colloidal Solution engineering for semiconductor electronic devices Colloidal solution engineering is a potential low-cost fabrication of low-dimensional semiconductors based on chemical coordination and molecule ligands, constructing atomic scale electronic devices for next generation information technologyAtom-scale electronic devices and integration based on low-dimensional semiconductors ha...
China's High-perfomance Aluminum Nitride Powder Ends Import Monopoly ——Launching A 600-Ton Annual Line by QIN's Groups

Owing to the outstanding thermal conductivity of AlN ceramics——power devices can maintain stable operating temperatures even under high-load conditions, thereby realizing their maximum performance without being constrained by excessive heat buildupAluminum nitride (AlN) possesses a unique combination of high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, and excellent electrical insulation, mak...
Professor XING Xianran

Most materials expand when heated and contract when cooled, but some, like water, expand when cooled (0-4°℃).This so-called ‘NTE' is just one property that solid state scientists at USTB are exploiting in their quest to develop materials with useful qualities. These properties include the ability to stay the same size under extreme heat, and also the ability for materials to remain polarized ...
