1. Scientists Invent New Glue That Can Repair Hearts: Scientists have developed a new glue that is strong enough to repair damaged cardiac tissue and could be used in the future to repair hearts more effectively. The glue, which is made from a type of sugar, is biocompatible and biodegradable, meaning that it won't cause any harm to the body. The glue can be used to patch up small holes in the heart, and the team of researchers is now working on how to make it stronger so that it can be used to repair larger areas of heart tissue. 2. Scientists Use AI To Create Music That Is 'Unprecedentedly Realistic': Scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed an artificial intelligence system that can generate music that is incredibly realistic. The AI system takes in a variety of musical styles and genres, and creates new music based on what it has learned. The system has been tested on a variety of music styles, such as jazz, classical and rock, and the results have been described as “unprecedentedly realistic”. 3. New App Helps Parents Monitor Kids' Screen Time: A new app, called Screen Time, helps parents monitor their children's screen time and set limits

China’s Clean Technology Recommendations for Their Next 5-Year Plan - CleanTechnica

Earlier this week, China’s ruling Communist party met in a plenary session and developed recommendations for the nation’s 15th five year plan, which would run through 2030. There are many aspects of the recommendations that could be explored in more depth, but several of the recommendations are specifically relevant to clean technology. Regardless of how you feel about China or their political system, they lead in many aspects of renewable energy and electric vehicles, and their national plans have global implications.In looking through the coverage, much of it seemed to focus on the outline bullet points, without the underlying context. As a result, they often added in assumptions that did not reflect the actual recommendations. As the recommendations were published (toward the bottom of the page), the most relevant sections to cleantech are quoted below. I added a few notes, but found it interesting to see the actual recommendation text, starting with the economy and manufacturing:“It was noted that we should build a modernized industrial system and reinforce the foundations of the real economy. To this end, we should keep our focus on the real economy, continue to pursue smart, green, and integrated development, and work faster to boost China's strength in manufacturing, product quality, aerospace, transportation, and cyberspace. The share of manufacturing in the national economy should be kept at an appropriate level, and a modernized industrial system should be developed with advanced manufacturing as the backbone. We should upgrade traditional industries, foster emerging industries and industries of the future, promote high-quality, efficient development in the service sector, and develop a modernized infrastructure system.”
