Today (December 20), the Chinese Academy of Engineering and other units released the 2023 Global Top Ten Engineering Achievements and the "Global Engineering Frontiers 2023" report in Beijing.
The top ten global engineering achievements in 2023 released this time include: ChatGPT, China's space station, exascale supercomputer, Baihetan Hydropower Station, double asteroid redirection test, RTS, S AS01 malaria vaccine, HarmonyOS operating system, Spot &Atlas robot, lithium-ion power battery, and unmanned aerial vehicle.
The Global Engineering Frontiers 2023 report mainly focuses on 9 fields: mechanical and vehicle engineering, information and electronic engineering, chemical engineering, metallurgy and materials engineering, energy and mining engineering, civil engineering, water conservancy and construction engineering, environmental and textile engineering, agriculture, medicine and health and engineering management, with a total of 93 engineering research frontiers and 94 engineering development frontiers.
The report points out that the global engineering frontier in 2023 presents three major characteristics:
First, emerging frontiers continue to evolve. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation has developed in depth, and emerging technologies such as robots, large models, quantum chips, synthetic biology, and pan-genomes have continued to make breakthroughs, providing new momentum for global scientific and technological and industrial innovation.
The second is cross-cutting-edge integration and innovation. The interdisciplinary integration continues to advance, and new technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and renewable energy have accelerated their penetration and integration into various fields, moving towards intelligence, unmanned, precision, and low-carbon, giving birth to a new model of global science and technology and industrial innovation and development.
The third is the in-depth development of the application frontier. Driven by application scenarios and guided by solving complex problems, multi-objective collaboration and multi-dimensional consideration, it coordinates the part and the whole, the ontology and the environment, quantity and quality, quality and efficiency, and expands the new pattern of global science and technology and industrial innovation.
Since 2017, the Chinese Academy of Engineering has organized and carried out global engineering frontier research projects every year, relying on the research team of 9 departments of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the "Engineering" series of journals of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, to study and publish nearly 100 global engineering research frontiers and engineering development frontiers that year, and publish the global engineering frontier report in Chinese and English every year, in order to play an academic leading role and guide the innovation and development of engineering science and technology and industry.
