BEIJING, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- The following is a summary of published science and technology news of China.

SMALL MOLECULE DRUG

A medical university will use quantum computing technology to accelerate the development of small molecule drugs and improve the drug design efficiency, bringing in new ideas for the pharmaceutical research and development models.

Bengbu Medical University (BMU) in east China's Anhui Province made an agreement with the Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co., Ltd., a quantum computing company based in Hefei, capital city of Anhui, to develop the quantum-computing-powered application for molecular docking, the Science and Technology Daily reported Friday.

TUNNEL EMERGENCY RESCUE

The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) on Friday said it has developed an unmanned emergency rescue system for tunnels, with independent intellectual property rights.

Compared to highway rescues, tunnel rescues face a multitude of difficulties, including terrain intricacies, diminished perceptual capabilities, the absence of satellite signal coverage, restricted access to the incident site, and a lack of effective navigational tools, according to the CASIC.

MICROWAVE REMOTE SENSING

Chinese researchers have recently initiated remote sensing experiments for vegetation and soil moisture in north China's Hebei Province, according to the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Vegetation plays a crucial role in the transfer of water between the land and the atmosphere, acting not only as a reservoir for terrestrial water resources but also as a natural water pump," said Husi Letu, a researcher from the AIR. Enditem
