New Delhi: Bengaluru-headquartered deep-tech startup Log 9 Materials has launched rapid charging battery packs for electric vehicles , the company said in a release. Log 9’s team has used supercapacitor technology and Graphene to develop this battery which is said to give a range of more than 70km for electric two-wheelers and 60-80 km for electric three-wheelers, the release said. It takes only less than 15 minutes for the full charging of these batteries. The company claims that these battery packs offer up to 5x power, resulting in increased load-bearing capacity and acceleration.

Anti-poverty efforts also benefits front-line worker
BEIJING-China's poverty alleviation work does more than just create wealth for impoverished residents. It also brings warmth to front-line participants. Shi Peng, a patent examiner at the National Intellectual Property Administration, is one of hundreds of thousands of officials stationed in rural China to spearhead poverty reduction efforts. Since 2017, the 38-year-old has been dispatched to two villages in Sangzhi county, Hunan province. Spending four years in a mountainous county, once home to some of the poorest areas in China, would perhaps be seen as a hardship for many, but Shi cherishes it. "I have learned a lot from the people I helped and served," Shi said. "That can never be achieved through office work." Engaging in patent work for more than 10 years, Shi grew tired of his regular job sitting in front of a computer all day. He thought poverty alleviation was an opportunity to change. "I was not afraid of living in poor conditions. I was born and grew up in rural ... » Learn More about Anti-poverty efforts also benefits front-line worker
Strong exports suggest higher growth
China's economy ended 2020 on a stronger note than we expected, with growth in industry being especially rapid. In the fourth quarter of 2020, China's GDP growth increased to 6.5 percent year-on-year, or 2.9 percent quarter-on-quarter in seasonally adjusted terms in our (Oxford Economics') estimation, comfortably beating our forecast of 2.2 percent and the consensus, underpinned by an acceleration in industrial value added, investment and exports. The strong fourth quarter lifted China's GDP growth to 2.3 percent last year and will have a substantial carry-over impact on this year's economic growth. We have revised up our outlook for exports, and, relatedly, manufacturing investment, mainly because of the strong recent export and export order data for the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and the Republic of Korea, plus an upward revision of the forecast for the United States' economic growth following increased likelihood of substantial additional fiscal stimulus there. We downgraded our ... » Learn More about Strong exports suggest higher growth
