Many core technologies that need breakthroughs in China are related to the material science,and AI could help in these areas,Zhao Zhongxian,an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS),who won China's top science award,said at a science forum opened in Dongguan,Guangdong Province. Traditional methods for material composition analysis are time-consuming(耗时的， 旷日持久的)and expensive..It takes an average of 10 years for a laboratory to develop new materials and20 years for mass production(批量生产，大规模生产).With AI technology, the development and application cycle of new materials is expected to be shortened by more than half. Wang Weihua from the Institute of Physics under CAS said AI is changing the way new materials are discovered.Through machine learning of material data,AI could outperform (many material scientists and make a more efficient prediction of new materials. The fast development of AI also needs support from the material science.With emerging intelligent robots,wearable medical devices and IoT systems(物联网系统)， future smart sensors will require good sensitivity,flexibility,and stability,which puts new demands on materials. 1 专攻解题方法与技巧 AI and material science are closely related,and material research could offer a solution for AI-related sensitive components,Zhao said. 2 Amazing uses of VR 语篇导读：VR技术已经渐渐走入人们的生活，也慢慢地向不同的领域发展。让我们 一起看看VR技术到底有哪些妙用吧！ Virtual reality(VR)technology holds a lot of possibilities to change the future for a number of fields,like medicine,business,and so on.
