Business Insider video of Dominos automated dough making factory for its franchises along with various other stuff in there. of course, it's a business insider video so it will reflect a capitalist viewpoint on the experience of labor shortage.

The project straddles the border between the Yukon and the Northwest Territories, and on the traditional territories of the Kaska and the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun.

In separate news releases on Dec. 13, the Canadian government and the U.S. Department of Defence each announced funding for the mining company.

Tungsten, which is considered a critical mineral, has a variety of uses. In its news release Friday, the U.S. Department of Defense said its most common use is for industrial products like drill bits and machine parts. It's also used in the production of military-grade steel, aerospace components and vehicle armour, said the release.

Tungsten's exceptional heaviness, hardness and heat-resistance also make it important for the production of mun

CCTV Focus: Sany drone fleet leads a new chapter in intelligent road construction in Anhui

Sany Road Machine Sany Group July 24, 2024 19:31

Recently, CCTV News Channel "News Live Room" broadcast "Unmanned Paving Machines for Highway Construction", reporting on the innovative practices of Sany Group in the field of road construction in Anhui Province. Anhui, located in central China, is ushering in an intelligent revolution in its high-grade highway construction - Sany Group's drone swarm construction technology.

Since the end of April, this cutting-edge technology has shone in the first phase of the Anhui Xuanjing Expressway. At present, the SANY drone swarm has completed the construction of the middle surface layer of the two bidding sections of the project 01 and 03. The cumulative construction mileage has reached 80 kilometers. It is expected to fully enter the upper layer construction in early August.

¿Did you know that when the chili is green it has a different name than when the chili is already dried and processed?

From Xinhua:

Long gone are the days of tiresome manual labor; enter an era of automated machines in Xinjiang's cotton fields. Amatjan Mamat, a Uygur cotton farmer, tells the story of how he changed his skillset to match this evolving industry and make a tidy profit while doing so

A documentary on CCTV shows off part of an automated factory that is mostly done by robots and machines that makes cruise missiles. It has a nameplate capacity of 1,000 cruise missiles a day.

It is in Spanish but it is very interesting to see how they produce these type of plastic for Agriculture.

I found this article to be interesting as it talks a bit about methods of mining uranium, as well as talks about a current issue regarding a shortage of a necessary ingredient of that process (sulfuric acid), while also going over issues in how to transport uranium supply to the West in light of sanctions on transport routes through Russia and recent deals with China. In general the article is just stressing how precarious the West's supply of uranium from Central Asia may be, and highlighting that China and Russia are much better positioned to trade with that region. Also a mention of how France has been prompted to rely more on Central Asia for uranium in light of the instability of sourcing uranium from Niger.

• Kazatomprom, world's largest uranium producer, warns of production shortfall
• logistical issues, eg transport and shortages in sulfuric acid could take years to fix
• concerns long-term supply contracts prioritize Russia and China over the West

Excerpts:

Decades of sweeping industrial policies have afforded China a near-total monopoly over gallium, a critical mineral used to produce high-performance microchips that power some of the United States’ most advanced military technologies. Recent moves by Beijing to restrict the export of gallium have laid bare the need for Washington and its allies to de-risk their critical mineral supply chains.

China produces a staggering 98 percent of the world’s supply of raw gallium.

Gallium is primarily extracted from smelting bauxite into aluminum, through which trace amounts of gallium can be recovered.

While bauxite is abundant, its mining is heavily concentrated in a handful of countries, and Chinese companies are responsible for nearly all gallium extracted from bauxite.

The United States and other advanced economies purchase gallium from China and refine it further for use in commercial and military applications.

There are significant concerns that South Korea could end up losing its cutting-edge semiconductor technology as the US continues prioritizing the revival of its domestic semiconductor industry.

South Korean companies that invested in the US to build semiconductor factories will have to limit their manufacturing capacity at their Chinese factories to 5 percent or less for 10 years in order to receive US subsidies.

While the new regulations are less strict than the previously feared total ban on upgrading manufacturing facilities in China, the shackles being imposed by the US on the domestic semiconductor industry remain weighty.

On Tuesday, the US Department of Commerce announced detailed regulations of the guardrails concerning subsidies for semiconductors. Countries with semiconductor manufacturing factories in China will be able to expand production by up to 5 percent and companies will still be able to produce more semiconductor chips from one wafer through technological
