Nineteen blockbuster sci-tech innovations were unveiled at the 2025 ZGC Forum Annual Conference on Monday. Spanning global frontiers, economic wins, national needs, and health breakthroughs, these feats are part of 29 total reveals during the event spotlighting China's advances in cutting-edge technology and industrial integration.

In Huairou, Peking University Professor Liu Kaihui and his team flipped crystal-making on its head with a new technique enabling defect-free expansion up to 100,000 atomic layers with micron-scale thickness. This breakthrough, discovered during an annealing experiment, slashes defects and hits physical limits, paving the way for unprecedented crystal structures.

HYQ company rolled out the world's first 2D ion-trap quantum computing prototype, a second-gen commercial machine with top-tier performance, poised to revolutionize cryptography by reducing computation times from millions of years on traditional computers to mere minutes. Using ion traps to scale qubits by one or two orders of magnitude beyond the world's leading ion-trap quantum computer, this breakthrough eyes applications in biomedicine, communications, finance, and cybersecurity.

"Sky Computing," the world's first in-orbit test platform for sky computing, leverages AI to boost target recognition accuracy by over 50% and cut satellite data return by more than 90%. 

Health tech also shone. A brain-spine surgery bot from Sinovation (Beijing) Medical Technology and Tsinghua University can nail 0.1-mm precision, and a glioma drug doubles survival time.

Launched in 2007, the forum held in Zhongguancun, China's Silicon Valley, has become a national powerhouse for open collaboration and a global tech stage.
