Researchers at the Shanghai Space Propulsion Institute (SSPI) have achieved a breakthrough with the development of China‘s first lightweight and fast-response cryogenic solenoid valve. This accomplishment marks a significant leap forward in the country’s space propulsion technology.
The valve has undergone rigorous testing, completing 20,000 life cycles
Developing a valve for cryogenic propellants, like liquid oxygen and methane, presents a unique challenge. The valve needs to be lightweight yet ensure a stable response and reliable seal at extremely low temperatures. The SSPI team tackled this hurdle through innovative design. They employed air gap insulation, reduced heat transfer paths, and optimized the magnetic circuit, allowing the valve to function flawlessly between -60 and -40°C while achieving a rapid switching action. Special attention was also paid to sealing materials and structures to guarantee a tight seal at both room and low temperatures.

The newly developed valve has undergone rigorous testing, successfully completing 20,000 life cycles with liquid nitrogen and performing flawlessly during engine thermal tests. These tests confirm its exceptional response speed, low-temperature adaptability, and reliable sealing. This achievement positions China at the forefront of cryogenic valve technology.
The SSPI’s innovative valve significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of liquid oxygen-methane engines. This paves the way for further advancements in cryogenic space propulsion technology, a critical area for future space exploration endeavors. The institute, known for its contributions to China’s prestigious space programs like “Shenzhou” and “Chang’e,” continues to push the boundaries of space tech, solidifying China’s position as a major player in the global space race.

The Panasonic Lumix S9 lightweight and compact camera was announced last week in China. However, the company was discovered to have included images that were shot by a Nikon camera among the promotional pictures for the compact mirrorless camera. This erroneous impression presented by Panasonic attracted backlash to the company and it has now tendered an apology.
The images in question, about two of them, were shot by the Nikon Ambassador camera. The images, which have since been removed, were seen on Panasonic’s official website and the company was called out for the deceptive act. Panasonic then issued an official statement admitting that it used stock image services or authorized images in promoting the Lumix S9, without considering whether they were suitable in such circumstances.

Previously we have seen leaked screen protectors and CAD renders of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 suggesting a wider external screen and sharper corners. Now a real-life image of the phone has been leaked confirming that the phone will indeed come with sharper corners as compared to the predecessor. In addition to that, you can also notice that the borders are nearly symmetrical this time around.
Galaxy Z Fold 6
Today tipster Ice Universe has shared the image on X (formerly known as Twitter). Comparing the Z Fold 6’s image side by side with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 also suggests that the display is flatter this time. The top, left and right sides have the same width of border. However, we cannot be sure about the bottom bezel since the image is cropped.
Galaxy Z Fold 5
On the left side, the metal frame also doesn’t appear as visible as the predecessor, which improves the look of the device. It also allows the display to be a bit more wide within the same aspect ratio of the body. Additionally, it looks like the phone itself is also slightly wider.
Reportedly, Samsung is also working on another version of the 6th generation book-style foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim that will offer a larger inner and outer display with a slimmer form factor. According to Sammobile, it could be released in Q4 2024, months after the release of the Z Fold 6 and Flip 6.
Nonetheless, the phone we are seeing adopts the Galaxy-branded Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset with slightly different clock speeds than the regular version. According to a previous report from South Korea, it won’t be viable for Samsung to include its foldable under its dual-platform strategy as the series has been designed for Qualcomm chips since the beginning and the company will have to make a lot of adjustments. For now, the Exynos 2400 is also reportedly unable to meet the power efficiency requirement of the foldable.
