Geophysicist Ho-Kwang Mao: “We still are very elementary in understanding material sciences, and I’m one who opens its door”
BRICS Podcast (EN)Show Notes
Studying materials in extreme conditions is a promising area of research that helps to uncover previously unknown secrets about our planet. According to Chinese-American geophysicist Ho-Kwang Mao, the scale and importance of the high-pressure area correspond to a separate branch of physics. The complexity of these studies is quite high, so they require the exchange of international experience. The Centre, which is headed by Professor Mao, employs research teams from different countries, including BRICS. The scientist himself also works closely with colleagues from Russia.
Ho-Kwang Mao, director of the Shanghai Centre for Advanced Research in High-Pressure Science and Technology, answered these and other questions.

Brazil’s National Energy Plan to 2050 envisages expanding nuclear generation by 8–10 GW. According to the authorities, this is expected to ensure a stable and reliable electricity supply for the population. One of the solutions under consideration is floating nuclear power plants, which Brazil is negotiating to acquire from Russia. What effect could this cooperation have on the transformation of the republic’s energy sector? What opportunities for renewable energy projects are opened up by the country’s cooperation with BRICS partners? Lais Nascimento Cardoso Cruz, Professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, shared her insights on this topic in BRICSterview. TV BRICS reporter: Leonid Samuna
