en.Wedoany.com Reported - The first domestically produced intelligent dual-beam electron microscope system, Hyper-FIB, equipped with an "AI brain," transforms the traditionally labor-intensive process of micro- and nano-scale sample preparation into a fully automated, unattended operation. Researchers at the Beijing Institute of Scientific Intelligence and Peking University laboratories only need to click the "Start" button, and the device autonomously locates and plans routes, using ion beams for precise cutting to complete sample preparation in under 60 minutes, with a success rate exceeding 90%.
Wang Zhongyuan, President of the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), stated at the 2026 "Vibrant China Research Tour" Beijing themed interview event on June 11 that advancing AI from the digital world to the physical world is one of the institute's core goals. Since its establishment in 2018, BAAI has conducted fundamental research in areas such as large language models, multimodal large models, world models, and embodied intelligence, and has led the construction of an internationally influential open-source technology ecosystem, committed to breaking down barriers between traditional scientific research and industrial application.
On the frontier of the AI industry, Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhipu), a spin-off from Tsinghua University's technology, has achieved breakthroughs. Zhipu's technology spokesperson Zheng Qinkai introduced that its AI system can now autonomously plan, test, and identify vulnerabilities like an engineer, working independently for 8 consecutive hours and delivering complete engineering results. Zhipu's large model has become one of the default options for several top global cloud service providers and well-known programming platforms, gaining popularity among overseas developers.
In the field of microscopic science, Zhang Duo, head of the Large Atomic Model team at the Beijing Institute of Scientific Intelligence, explained that the institute's large atomic model, DPA4, achieves simulation accuracy previously only attainable with high budgets at a lower computational cost. This model currently ranks first on international authoritative lists, covering 90 chemical elements, and has become a new infrastructure for microscopic scientific research.
Wu Jun, Deputy Director of the Information Center of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and Zhongguancun Management Committee, noted that since the release of the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Construction of Beijing as a Globally Influential AI Innovation Source (2023–2025)," Beijing has continuously optimized the industrial ecosystem, established special funds and computing power subsidies, and issued the "Action Plan for Accelerating AI-Empowered High-Quality Development of Scientific Research in Beijing (2025–2027)," focusing on five major fields including medicine and health, and new materials, to build a collaborative system for foundational scientific large models. Beijing's "15th Five-Year Plan" outline proposes fully implementing the "AI+" action, using AI to lead a paradigm shift in scientific research.
