Chang'e-6, the text-to-video large model Sora, self-driving cars... On December 18, the "Top 10 Global Engineering Achievements 2024," selected by the Chinese Academy of Engineering's journal Engineering, were released in Beijing.
The "Top 10 Global Engineering Achievements" mainly refer to major innovative achievements in engineering science and technology that have been completed and proven effective in practice within the past five years and have produced a global impact. They include both major engineering projects or key technological equipment and key original innovations and breakthroughs in engineering science and technology.
After evaluation,The "Top 10 Global Engineering Achievements 2024" include: CAR-T cell therapy, Chang'e-6, low-Earth-orbit communication satellite constellations, flexible displays, high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plants, smart factories, self-driving cars, surgical robots, the text-to-video large model Sora, and ultra-large wind power equipment.
Chen Jianfeng, Secretary-General of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that the Top 10 Global Engineering Achievements selected this time reflect three characteristics:
First, they represent the most advanced technological level or major original breakthroughs in one or more fields of engineering science and technology and can lead the direction of future technological progress, such as CAR-T cell therapy, which pioneered new methods for treating cancer and other serious diseases and marked the arrival of the cell therapy era.
Second, they achieve overall goals through technology integration and optimized resource allocation, showing distinctive features of system integration innovation, such as low-Earth-orbit communication satellite constellations, which, with their unique orbital advantages and technical characteristics, are gradually becoming an important part of the global communications network; and smart factories, which, through the deep integration of manufacturing technology and information technology, realize digital, networked, and intelligent production and manufacturing and management across the entire life cycle.
Third, they give rise to new industries and new drivers of growth, have important value in driving industry and the economy, and represent the direction of new quality productive forces, such as self-driving cars and flexible displays, both of which have broad application scenarios. As foreseeable disruptive technologies, they are leading a new revolution in technological innovation, have already produced enormous economic and social benefits, and have profoundly changed the way people live.
Engineering is committed to building a world-class comprehensive authoritative journal of engineering science and technology and providing a high-level platform for the release and exchange of major innovative achievements in engineering science and technology worldwide. Starting in 2021, the journal has organized the selection of the "Top 10 Global Engineering Achievements" every year, with the aim of showcasing major innovative achievements in engineering science and technology, guiding attention from all sectors of society worldwide to engineering science and technology, and fostering an atmosphere of respect for and esteem of engineering science and technology innovation. The "Top 10 Global Engineering Achievements" selection activity has attracted extensive participation from engineering and technical personnel from countries around the world as well as widespread attention from the public.
