Comments: Guoxin** pointed out that general equipment includes machine tools and tools, industrial control and industrial robots, injection molding machines, laser equipment, forklifts, reducers, etc., with certain standard attributes, and the downstream can be widely used in most manufacturing fields such as automobiles, electronics, home appliances, packaging, and daily necessities. The implementation of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods will strongly promote the recovery of the general equipment industry. At the same time, some of the leading sub-sectors of general equipment have shown a bottom-out recovery and are expected to accelerate their upward trend in 2024.

Flash|According to TrendForce, the revenue of the NAND Flash industry reached 114 in the fourth quarter of 2023US$900 million, up 245% quarter-on-quarter. Enterprises continue to express the view that demand in 2024 is better than in 2023, and start strategic stocking to drive. Looking forward to the first quarter of this year, despite the traditional off-season, due to the fact that the inventory level of the first chain has improved significantly and is still in the first trend, customers continue to increase purchase orders, and it is expected that the revenue of the NAND flash industry will still increase by two percent quarter-on-quarter.

Comments: Soochow ** believes that with the increase in demand for smartphones, smart wearable devices, PCs, servers and other products, the demand for memory chips has grown. Through the observation of the performance improvement of production reduction, inventory and price increase transmission of major enterprises in the industrial chain, the expansion of new products such as HBM and DDR5 of large manufacturers is clear, and the breakthrough of localized storage products, AI and downstream demand recovery continue to catalyze, and we are optimistic about the performance of storage price increase**.

Robots|Recently, Tesla's recruitment official ** shows that the new Teslabot position of system engineer has been added. The position requires that the candidate has rich experience in realizing the mass production of new products, and has successfully implemented projects.

Comments: Debang ** believes that the main responsibility of Tesla Bot system engineers is to push the robot from the concept to mass production, and it is clear that Tesla has begun to prepare for mass production. Tesla's recruitment action is consistent with Musk and SH's caliber for the delivery time of robots. In addition, domestic robot companies such as UBTECH are also accelerating the pace of industrialization. On March 6, UBTECH rose 88% in Hong Kong.

Innovative drugs|According to the official news of "China National Nuclear Corporation", in December 2023, the Institute of Physical and Chemical Engineering of Nuclear Industry of China National Nuclear Corporation successfully produced high-abundance gram-level ytterbium-176 isotope products for the first time in the world using advanced technology, getting rid of the long-term dependence on imports of ytterbium-176 isotope products. A few days ago, the product successfully passed the irradiation preparation of the CMRR reactor of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry of the China Academy of Engineering Physics, and obtained 159CI's carrier-free lutetium-177 product is qualified in all indicators, and the radioactive nuclear purity is greater than 999%, opening up a key link in the domestic nuclear drug industry chain.

Comments: It is understood that lutetium-177 is an ideal radioactive medical isotope, the emitted particles are very suitable as a new type of radioimmune agent for prostate cancer, breast cancer and other diseases, and the emitted Y rays are suitable for diagnostic imaging and radioactive effect evaluation, and have a wide range of application prospects in medical clinics. This technical achievement marks that the ytterbium-176 isotope product produced by the research team of the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry adopts advanced technology, fully meets the technical indicators of nuclear medicine production, realizes the independent and controllable Ytterbium-176 isotope materials in China, and provides an important guarantee for the independent and controllable development of nuclear medicine, and the key materials of nuclear medicine to break the monopoly and enter the international market.

New materials|According to **, scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have successfully reduced the heat load of electronic components using ultra-thin diamond films, and the key to this technological breakthrough is the excellent thermal conductivity and insulation properties of diamond. According to the researchers, diamond nanomembranes can reduce the heat load on electronic components by a factor of 10, significantly improving their service life and overall equipment energy efficiency. In addition, if the technology is applied to the charging system, it can also increase the charging speed of electric vehicles by a factor of five.

Comments: What's even more exciting is that diamond nanofilms can be fabricated directly on silicon wafers, which is easy to achieve large-scale mass production. Diamond thin film is an excellent artificially prepared material that developed rapidly in the mid-to-late 80s of the last century, and has a wide range of application prospects in semiconductors, optics, aerospace industry, large-scale integrated circuits and other fields. At present, some domestic scientific research institutions have begun to apply diamond materials to the new generation of integrated circuit substrates research, if the future of diamond film materials in the field of integrated circuits to achieve a breakthrough, then the cultivation of diamond industry will open the development ceiling. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the application of diamond in the fields of sound, heat, light, electricity, as well as military and other cutting-edge and high-tech products will gradually increase, and new market demand will emerge.
