In the wake of the 2023 Türkiye earthquake doublet, a rapid investigation of surface ruptures proved crucial for emergency response teams and scientific research. Experts from the Institute of Earthquake Forecasting, China Earthquake Administration successfully utilized post-earthquake high-resolution satellite imagery to precisely map the coseismic surface ruptures and conduct seismic hazard assessments of the East Anatolian Fault Zone. Notably, their application of China’s domestically produced GF-series high-resolution satellite images significantly advances global earthquake emergency research.

The event, held in the emblematic Casa de Convalescència, was supported by the BBVA Foundation and welcomed 150 international attendees.

The conference addressed how advanced AI models and generative AI techniques are transforming drug discovery, opening new perspectives in biomedicine, and bringing these advances closer to clinical practice.

Achromatic metasurface waveguide technology is revolutionizing augmented reality (AR) displays by addressing the longstanding issue of chromatic aberration. Developed by a research team from China, this innovative approach combines inverse-designed metasurface couplers with a high refractive index waveguide, achieving superior color accuracy and uniformity across a wide field of view. The technology promises to enhance the visual experience in compact AR systems, paving the way for advanced applications in various fields by overcoming the limitations of traditional diffractive waveguides.
