On September 17, 2021, Shenzhou 12 astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo, who had been living and working in space for 90 days, landed safely in the return module of Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft at the Dongfeng Landing Site in Badain Jaran Desert, marking the complete success of the first manned mission during the construction phase of China's space station. The great achievements of China's aerospace industry have not only condensed the hard work and hard work of Chinese aerospace people, but also gathered the wisdom and hard work of China's materials and other industries. China Tungsten Online （CTIA GROUP）believes that scientific researchers and enterprises in China's tungsten products industry have also made their due contributions to this, and high-density tungsten alloy (tungsten heavy alloy) shielding materials are very important for Gamma (γ) Ray shielding should be one of them.

China tungsten price remained stable in the first trading day after the holiday of Mid-Autumn Festival as the whole market is caught in heavy wait-and-see atmosphere. 

Rare earth market quotation in China: DyFe and dysprosium oxide prices decline slightly while other products keep stable on September 23, 2021. Under the influence of many uncertain factors, the market is in a stalemate. However, due to the support of production costs and the expected improvement of downstream industry development, the room for suppliers to make price is limited.

Molybdenum market quotation in China: ferro molybdenum, molybdenum oxide and concentrate prices keep stable on September 23, 2021 when market demand fails to meet market expectation. With the approaching of National Day, steel mills are expected to be active in stocking up.

China’s domestic tungsten price remained weak adjustment in the week ended on Friday, September 17, 2021 due to continued weakness in the demand side as well as cautious sentiment of participants. 

Rare earth market quotation in China: praseodymium oxide and neodymium oxide prices rose slightly while lanthanum oxide price remained unchanged on September 22, 2021 after the holiday of Mid-Autumn Festival. 

China molybdenum price remained weak adjustment in the first trading day on September 22, 2021 after the holiday of Mid-Autumn Festival because most participants took a watchful stance. 

Apex Resources Inc. filed an updated tungsten resource estimate technical report for its Jersey-Emerald tungsten project, according to a September 10, 2021 press release from Apex report.

Researchers at Nagoya University have discovered that tungsten disulfide can help switch the direction of light at room temperature, which could be the future of quantum computing. Scientists have already generated circularly polarized light and controlled its direction, thereby getting rid of bulky magnets or very low temperatures.

Researchers at Tohoku University have successfully used ultra-small test techniques (USTTs) to measure tungsten coating on ferritic steel. The metallic coating protects structural materials from harsh environments. It is essential for, for example, gas turbines (whose components may reach high temperatures) or the first wall of a nuclear fusion reactor. However, the limited thickness and brittleness of the coating make it difficult to measure the interfacial bond strength of the coating material.
