The Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) has announced its Global Top 10 Engineering Achievements for 2024, highlighting groundbreaking innovations set to shape the future. The unveiling took place on Wednesday in Beijing, showcasing advancements ranging from space exploration to medical breakthroughs.
Among the top achievements are the Chang’e-6 lunar mission, which aims to continue China’s exploration of the moon, and the development of CAR-T cell therapy, a cutting-edge treatment for cancer patients. The list also features autonomous vehicles, signaling significant strides in self-driving technology, and high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactors, representing a leap forward in clean energy solutions.
Other notable inclusions are surgical robots enhancing precision in medical procedures, flexible displays revolutionizing the tech industry with bendable screens, and a low-Earth-orbit satellite constellation designed to improve global communication networks.
“Each of these top 10 accomplishments reflects a significant engineering or technological breakthrough, completed and validated in the last five years,” said Chen Jianfeng, Secretary-General of the CAE. “They span major projects, key technological innovations, and advances in engineering that are expected to guide the future of technology.”
The selection process, conducted by the CAE’s journal Engineering, involved global nominations, expert recommendations, public surveys, and a thorough review by a selection committee. Since 2021, the annual list has recognized transformative contributions that impact industries worldwide.
The recognition of these achievements underscores the global effort in advancing technology and engineering, offering promising solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
