[Dongguan advanced attosecond laser scientific device is about to start construction]The Development and Reform Bureau of Dongguan City recently announced that the highly anticipated advanced attosecond laser facility project has received budget approval from the National Development and Reform Commission, marking the start of construction of this national major scientific and technological infrastructure in Dongguan Songshan Lake Science City. This move marks another scientific milestone for Dongguan after the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source, demonstrating its continued deep cultivation and leadership in cutting-edge technology fields. As a unit of time shorter than femtosecond (1 attosecond=10 ^ -18 seconds), the ultra short time scale of attosecond provides unprecedented opportunities for scientists to observe electron motion and study electron dynamics processes in depth. It is worth noting that the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to outstanding contributors in the field of attosecond lasers, further highlighting the significant significance of this project in promoting technological progress.

On January 29, 2026, Jilin Province announced that the route and station location of the Liaoyuan section of the Changsi Liaotong high-speed railway have been determined. The project is designed with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a total length of approximately 334 kilometers, which will end the history of Liaoyuan not being connected to high-speed railways. The Provincial Development and Reform Commission stated that it is making every effort to promote the approval of pre feasibility studies and ensure their completion and opening to traffic by the end of the 15th Five Year Plan period. At that time, the travel time from Changchun to Liaoyuan will be shortened to about 45 minutes, and it will help Jilin achieve the goal of "connecting cities with high-speed rail".Editor/Gao Xue
At the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan in 2026, State Grid and Southern Power Grid launched a nearly 5 trillion yuan investment plan, with energy storage becoming a key development focus. Zhiguang Electric announced on the evening of January 27th that it expects a net profit attributable to the parent company of 110 million to 160 million yuan in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 133.69% to 149.01%, achieving a turnaround from losses to profits, mainly due to the rapid development of energy storage business and significant growth in orders and revenue. The company's cascaded high-voltage energy storage system is adapted to the three major upgrade areas of the power grid and has been successfully implemented in energy storage projects in Inner Mongolia, Gansu and other places. It is expected to further grow in the new round of power grid construction.Editor/Gao Xue
