Racing into the future
In 2024, we saw many new scientific achievements. What can we expect in 2025?
Mind-reading machines
In 2025, China plan to make brain-computer interface(BCI,脑机接口) devices(设备) to help people in different ways, like in medicine and virtual reality(虚拟现实). NEO, one device
1 (make) by Chinese scientists, is a wireless(无线的) BCI with eight small parts that connect to the brain. It helps people
2 can't move their hands to use them again.
AI agents
AI, or artificial intelligence, is changing the world a lot. AI agents, which can see what's around them and make choices by
3 (they), are becoming important. AI agents can help with "easy" jobs like filling out reports. Then, as we make better ones, they will be able to
4 (watch) and control systems on their own. For example, an AI agent app can help plan your summer trip by booking flights, hotel rooms, and restaurant tables. It even
5 (remember) that you like hotels with pools.
Space plans
Space traffic this year will be as busy
6 that in 2024. China completed its first space mission of the year on January 7 with a Long March 3B rocket. In 2025, our country will complete Shenzhou manned missions and Tianzhou cargo(货物) missions to the Tiangong Space Station. Also, China and the European Union will work together to send the SMILE satellite into space in order to study the solar wind and get a deeper
7 (understand) of the sun-earth relation.
Going clean
Due
8 climate change, 2024 was the
9 (hot) year on record. Because of this, green technology has become more important than ever. One key technology is carbon capture and storage(CCS,碳捕获与储存). It works by taking CO₂ away from other gases at
10 (factory) before people release the gases into the air, and transporting the CO₂ to an underground site. By October 2024, CCS projects had held about 45 million tons of CO₂ every year, equalling the emissions of 10 million cars. In 2025, clean energy is set to be used more for power than coal.
