With national and local attention and strong support, as well as the active participation of scientific and technological personnel, China's research progress in the field of material genetic engineering is very promising. By 2025, it is expected to enter the world and run or lead the ranks. "On October 15, at the Second High-level Forum on Materials Genetic Engineering, Xie Jianxin, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, said.
On the same day, the "277th Engineering Science and Technology Forum of the Chinese Academy of Engineering-the Second High-level Forum on Materials Genetic Engineering" opened at the Beijing International Convention Center. A total of 40 academicians from the Chinese Academy of Materials and two academicians from abroad attended the forum. More than 150 well-known scholars at home and abroad were invited to make a forum report, and nearly 1,000 participants attended the forum.
During the two-day conference, participating experts and scholars focused on high-throughput calculation and design of materials, high-throughput preparation and characterization of materials, efficient evaluation of material service and failure behavior, materials database and big data technology, and application of materials genetic engineering technology. The five major themes are discussed in depth, while promoting the academic exchange of cutting-edge technologies in the field of material genetic engineering, and promoting the innovative development of the new materials industry.
It is understood that material genetic engineering is a disruptive frontier technology that has emerged in the international materials field in recent years. Its basic concept is to integrate high-throughput calculation of materials, high-throughput experiments and material big data technologies, and accelerate the design of new materials through collaborative innovation. And R & D.
In the opinion of Academician and Secretary-General of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chen Jianfeng, the development of material genetic engineering technology will cause a fundamental change in the traditional "trial and error" research model of materials, bringing unprecedented opportunities for the development of new materials; material genes The development, application and promotion of new engineering theories, new technologies, and new equipment will revolutionize the efficiency and level of new material research and development; the combination of material big data and artificial intelligence will catalyze new material development concepts and promote new materials Leap-forward development of the industry.
In fact, as he said, "In recent years, research progress in the field of material genetic engineering in China has shown that the promotion and application of new ideas, new methods and new technologies can greatly enhance the level of innovation and significantly accelerate the development and application of new materials. "Said Xie Jianxin.
Xie Jianxin believes that the current research in the field of material genetic engineering in China has great advantages, but also has its own disadvantages. The rapid response of the country, the active participation of local governments and society, the high attention paid by the material science and technology community, and the follow-up of the cultivation of university-related talents have enabled China to have a certain foundation for research in this field, and have been led by national key special projects. Research and development, platform construction, and demonstration of typical materials have been comprehensively promoted in various aspects, and initial results have been remarkable. This is the advantage. The weakness lies in the large gap between the basic research talents and the level of innovation as a whole; the United States and Europe began research on material chips, material databases, and big data technology around 2000, but China began to attach importance to it after 2010. It is relatively weak; at the same time, the government and enterprises also have certain ideas of quick success and immediate benefit.
He pointed out that the "13th Five-Year Plan" national key special research focused on cutting-edge and common key technologies and equipment research and development, attaches importance to the improvement of innovation capabilities, and will effectively promote the construction of China's material science and technology powerhouse.
It is understood that the Materials Genetic Engineering High-level Forum is one of the top academic conferences in the field of new materials and is held once a year. This conference is hosted by the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Society for Materials Research, Beijing University of Science and Technology, the Department of Chemical Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Industry Development Promotion Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Beijing High-Tech Innovation Center for Materials Genetic Engineering.
