Livestreams to livelihoods 👩💻💼
Forget 9-to-5 cubicles—live commerce is booming! Young creators in the Chinese mainland are turning livestream gigs into full-blown careers. Imagine selling street food or beauty hacks in real-time to viewers nationwide and earning flexible, high-quality income—all you need is a phone and creativity.
Defying gravity: Interactive holograms ✨🖼️
Remember those sci-fi movies with floating 3D images? Han Dongcheng, a physicist from the University of Science and Technology of China, made them real. His team's interactive aerial displays let you swipe, tap and play with holograms—no screen required. Talk about the future, IRL!
High-tech shepherding 🌾🐑
Shanghai's Chongming District is giving sheep farming a 21st-century upgrade. Facial recognition helps farmers track each sheep—no more manual tags—while biotech tweaks boost breeding. This smart farming approach shows how even age-old ranching can get a digital glow-up.
