The relevant findings were published in a recent issue of the journal "Science Advances." This breakthrough in artificial neurons opens up vast prospects for a new generation of implantable sensors, medical devices, and advanced robotics technology.

Recently, the Maoming Ecological Environment Bureau released a public notice regarding the acceptance of the Environmental Impact Report for the construction project of the new 30,000 tons/year mPAO industrial unit by China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation Maoming Branch. Metallocene Polyalphaolefin (mPAO) is a high-end synthetic lubricant base oil obtained through the polymerization of alpha-olefins catalyzed by metallocene catalysts. Compared to traditional synthetic polyalphaolefin (cPAO), mPAO has advantages such as high viscosity index, high shear stability, low volatility, and low toxicity. It is widely recognized by the market, and the demand for it continues to rise.
