Commercial Content at Nature Research
Nature Research is a portfolio of high-quality products and services across the life, physical, chemical and applied sciences – including journals, databases and researcher services – dedicated to serving the scientific community. Like most commercial publishers, we generate revenue by allowing advertisers access to our different audiences. That revenue, in turn, allows us to produce even more great content.
One method for advertisers to reach our audiences is to support, commission, or contribute relevant content. These stories, which we broadly term commercial content, can be told in print, on the Web, in video, or through live events, and they are subject to different levels of influence from our advertisers.
The relationship with our readers is the single most important asset we at Nature Research possess. In creating a commercial content policy, we hope to build and strengthen that relationship, so we can all focus more deeply on our mission: to further scientific research and speed its communication.
To make clear the relationship of advertisers to stories, any Nature Research commercial content, in any medium and on any platform, will be clearly labeled as one of two categories:
Supported Content
Supported content is editorially independent. In this arrangement, a marketing partner pays to align its brand with content already deemed worthy of coverage by our editorial departments. The marketing partner’s involvement is limited to broad agreement on subject matter, governed by a contract. The ultimate approval of any story rests with the editorial department.
Such content is typically labeled as Supported or Supported By.
Advertisement Content
Advertisement content is not editorially independent. In this arrangement, advertisers pay to distribute their content through Nature Research, or they commission Nature Research Custom Media, a division separate from other editorial departments, to create relevant content on their behalf. Advertisers have ultimate approval over paid content, which can run in print, on the Web, as video, or as live events.
Such content is typically labeled as Advertisement Feature or From our Advertiser.

ABB opens state-of-the-art robotics mega factory in Shanghai
Group press release | Shanghai, China | 2022-12-02

• New 67,000 m2 robotics facility represents $150 million investment
• Production facility and ‘open lab’ customer collaboration center utilizes digital and automation technologies to manufacture next generation robots
• New factory and R&D center strengthens ABB’s robotics and automation leadership in China

Today, ABB officially opened its state-of-the-art, fully automated and flexible robotics factory in Kangqiao, Shanghai, China. The 67,000m2 production and research facility represents a $150 million (1.1 billion RMB) investment by ABB and will deploy the company’s digital and automation technologies to manufacture next generation robots – enhancing ABB’s robotics and automation leadership in China.
“Building on three decades of success in China, the opening of our new mega factory is another milestone in helping our customers grow sustainably, address labor shortages and create high-value jobs in a new era of automation,” said Sami Atiya, President of ABB Robotics and Discrete Automation. “Our innovative, automated and flexible factory plays a key role in our strategy of ‘in China, for China,’ strengthening our full value chain here. With over 90 percent of sales supported by our factory, the new facility will help our customers in China create more locally made products, solutions and services.”

ABB predicts that the global robot market will grow from $80 billion today to $130 billion in 2025, while China the world’s largest robotics market, accounted for 51 percent of global robot installations in 2021, surpassing the one-million-unit mark of operational robots in 2021.
The facility brings together the physical and digital worlds, creating a digital manufacturing ecosystem that harnesses virtual planning and production management systems to improve performance and maximize productivity through the collection and analysis of data. There are no traditional, fixed assembly lines – instead flexible, modular production cells are digitally connected and networked, and served by intelligent autonomous mobile robots. AI-powered robotic systems take on tasks such as screwdriving, assembling and material handling, relieving people from these tasks and enabling more rewarding work.
“This manufacturing and R&D facility brings to life our vision for the factory of the future – where flexible automation makes production and intra-logistics more resilient, faster and more efficient,” said Marc Segura, President of ABB Robotics. “It embodies our commitment to the latest in flexible, modular, intelligent manufacturing and it represents our focus on AI learning technologies for smarter robotics. At our new R&D facility, we will co-develop new solutions with businesses to prepare them for a new age of automation in the world’s largest robotics market.”
The site’s R&D center, covering an area of 8,000m2, will create new innovations in Artificial Intelligence (AI), digitalization and software, such as autonomous mobility, digital twin, machine vision and low-code programming software, to make robots more intelligent, flexible, safer and easier to use.

(1/3) The facility brings together the physical and digital worlds, creating a digital manufacturing ecosystem that harnesses virtual planning and production management systems to improve performance and maximize productivity through the collection and analysis of data.
These innovations, co-developed with partners and customers in ABB’s ‘open lab’, will help unlock new possibilities for flexible automation in new sectors like New Energy Vehicles (NEV), logistics, healthcare, food and beverage. Having trained more than a million people in China since 2005 through existing partnerships with schools and universities, the new site will continue to prepare and equip partners and end users with the skills to thrive in a new era of automation.
“Since ABB Robotics entered the Chinese market nearly 30 years ago, it has been supporting customers in all sectors from automotive and electronics to metals, plastics and logistics. Now with our new mega factory we can meet the surge in demand for automation in China, particularly from new segments such as New Energy Vehicle manufacturing, wearable electronics, restaurants, healthcare, e-commerce, retail and service robotics, among many others,” said Rui Liang, President of ABB Robotics Division in China.
The factory is the latest ABB Robotics and Discrete Automation facility to open this year following a new global innovation and training campus for machine automation in Austria in July and the Learning Factory 4.0 in Berlin in September.
ABB employs more than 15,000 people in over 130 cities in China, and China remains one of ABB’s most important R&D and manufacturing centers. As one of three ABB Robotics factories worldwide, the new facility in Shanghai, which replaces the existing site, will support customers in Asia. The factory in Västerås, Sweden, supplies customers in Europe and the Auburn Hills factory in Michigan supports the Americas.
ABB is a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. The company’s solutions connect engineering know-how and software to optimize how things are manufactured, moved, powered and operated. Building on more than 130 years of excellence, ABB’s ~105,000 employees are committed to driving innovations that accelerate industrial transformation. www.abb.com
ABB Robotics & Discrete Automation is the only company with a comprehensive and integrated portfolio covering robots, Autonomous Mobile Robots and machine automation solutions, designed and orchestrated by our value-creating software. We help companies of all sizes and sectors – from automotive to electronics and logistics – become more resilient, flexible and efficient. ABB Robotics & Discrete Automation supports customers in the transition towards the connected and collaborative factory of the future. The business area employs more than 11,000 people at over 100 locations in more than 53 countries. go.abb/robotics

The CCP has promoted a very attractive policy of recruiting top Chinese origin scientists and ramped up R&D in fundamental research but the garbage propaganda rankings in Nature are just CCP’s paid nonsense. They are a generation ahead of India in S&T research. They have really scaled well in research talent. Will these fundamental R&D turn into any worthwhile products remains to be seen though. The Wuhan virus vaccine is a good example. The CCP scientists could not deliver on this.
But time and money should get them in the top brackets in fundamental research for sure. This is an area where we lag behind them - due to chronic underfunding of R&D in India. Plus we are not able to entice global Indian talent back to India. This is bad for us and needs to be remedied asap. But ranking our cities by fake number of papers shared should not be done. Our focus should rather be on developing products that truly makes our lives easier and better, and not for propaganda like the CCP bungholes are doing.

All you need to know about the fake peer reviews in CCPia. These numbers are then used in fake rankings like in the Nature paid for article.

These Chinese carmakers bought their own ships to make exports smooth
With the vessels in question not expected to come online for several years yet, it's a bold bet on lasting global consumer demand for Chinese cars

Two of China’s biggest automakers are so determined to ensure their cars make it from factories on the mainland to anyone who wants to drive them they’ve bought their own ships.
BYD Co., which only makes electric and hybrid cars, is going the extra length to avoid any last mile supply chain snarls, ordering at least six ships in October, each with the capacity to carry 7,700 cars, for 5 billion yuan ($710 million). State-owned SAIC Motor Corp., which already operates the world’s fifth-largest shipping fleet via transport arm SAIC Anji Logistics Co., has a tender out for seven new carriers that can each hold 8,900 vehicles.
Representatives for SAIC and BYD declined to comment.
With the vessels in question not expected to come online for several years yet, it’s a bold bet on lasting global consumer demand for Chinese cars. China recently overtook Germany as the world’s second-largest auto exporter, sending almost 2.6 million vehicles abroad in the first 10 months of 2022, eclipsing 2021’s volumes. Even October’s unexpected drop in demand for Chinese goods didn’t derail that upward trajectory with car and chassis exports growing 60% from a year earlier to 352,000 units in the period, or a record high $7.1 billion.

But while auto exports have surged, “the number of car carriers globally has barely increased,” said Xing Yue, the head of Clarksons Research Services in Shanghai, a unit of the world’s largest shipbroker. Shipping costs have skyrocketed and there’s now “lots of investment pouring into building new ships for vehicle transport because of this demand-supply mismatch.”
The lack of vessels is stretching an auto supply chain already worn thin by a scarcity of semiconductors, pandemic-related labor shortages and months of port congestion intensified by China’s Covid-19 lockdowns. Daily rates for vessels that can carry up to 6,500 cars (commonly known as roll-on/roll-off ships, or ro-ros) have surged to about $100,000 a day as of October, more than tenfold 2020 levels and the highest on record since at least 2000, according to Clarksons.

With all the last leg supply chain disruptions it makes sense for Chinese automakers to strike out on their own, according to Tobias Bartz, chairman and chief executive officer of Rhenus Logistics. Ships have become “such a scarcity,” he said on the sidelines of a conference in Singapore last month.
The shortage has meant that some vessels almost 30 years’ old are still operating instead of being scrapped, raising the risk of accidents. Trying to extinguish any lithium-ion battery fires that occur may also be harder.
Chinese automakers aren’t alone in their desire for more freighters. Tesla Inc., which uses Anji Logistics’ car carriers, has also had trouble transporting vehicles from its factories.
“There weren’t enough boats, there weren’t enough trains, there weren’t enough car carriers to actually support the wave” of vehicle deliveries at the end of the last quarter, CEO Elon Musk said during Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call. “Whether we like it or not, we actually have to smooth out the delivery of cars intra-quarter, because there just aren’t enough transportation objects to move them around.”
This latest pinch point may be new but BYD and SAIC aren’t the first automakers to run their own shipping fleets. Toyota Motor Corp. owns shipping company Toyofuji Shipping Co., while South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Co. has logistics group Hyundai Glovis Co.
It’s also a telling sign of how far Chinese automakers’ export ambitions go.
Just a few years ago, China was mainly selling cars to developing nations in Africa and the Middle East. But the rise in electric-vehicle production has boosted made-in-China cars in Europe, which is now the biggest market for Chinese auto exports. China exported over 852,000 EVs in the first 10 months of this year, up from almost nothing a short while back. Over a fifth of those were Tesla electric cars produced in the US automaker’s Shanghai gigafactory.

To be sure, some aren’t entirely confident that buying ships now is the right decision.
“Car shipping costs are set to come down as the risks shift from backlogs to a glut in the car market,” said Craig Fuller, founder and CEO of supply chain market intelligence provider FreightWaves. With supply chain bottlenecks easing, “the risk is more on the demand side of the equation,” he said.
Until that inflexion point, Chinese automakers appear keen to control as much of the process as they can. Electric vehicle maker Nio Inc. and Chery Automobile Co. are also eying ship orders, local media reported last week.
Among Chinese brands, SAIC is the furthest along overseas. It sold 697,000 vehicles abroad in 2021 -- bolstered by the success of MG Motor, the British brand it acquired -- and is aiming for 800,000 this year. That’s a way off from meeting its annual shipping capacity, which stands at around 10 million vehicles, but meanwhile SAIC’s ships can and do serve other carmakers too, including Nio.

We're so far behind in this regard. India has just now started paying attention to this business.

Although I will say that when it comes to designing we're not bad.
Manufacturing? Nobody can do it on the scale of China... And probably never will because the world has hit peak of globalisation.
