01The size of the US federal government debt has exceeded $35 trillion
According to Xinhua News Agency, the latest data released by the US Treasury Department shows that the total federal government debt in the United States has reached a historical high of $36.035 trillion. It is reported that in recent years, the size of the US federal government debt has rapidly expanded. In September 2023, the federal government debt exceeded the $33 trillion mark. From early January to the end of July this year, the federal government debt increased from $34 trillion to $35 trillion. In just over three months, the federal government debt increased by another $1 trillion.
The Chairman of the Federal Budget Accountability Committee, Maiginias, stated in a statement that the continuously rising federal government debt poses serious domestic economic and geopolitical risks, dragging down the development of the US economy, leading to rising inflation and interest rates, further squeezing the federal budget space.
02Jiti Cat's stock experienced its largest decline in 10 years
Bloomberg reported that recently, the stock price of Sanrio, the parent company of the Kitti Cat brand, experienced its largest decline since May 2014, with a drop of 17%.

01Japan has developed a new type of thermal storage materialAccording to Xinhua News Agency, recently, Japanese researchers have developed new heat storage materials based on the macromolecule crowding environment in the cytoplasm of living organisms whose main component is water. The raw material is a thermosensitive polymer gel with water as the main component. In the experiment, the new material can achieve a heat storage density of up to 562 kilojoules per liter when storing heat below 60 degrees Celsius. At the same time, with the help of the synthesis reaction control technology developed by Tokyo University of Science, the research team realized the homogenization of the thermosensitive polymer gel, and a large number of this gel also achieved the same heat storage density as the experiment.
The research team's bulletin states that this new material can store low-temperature heat at a storage density that is more than twice that of existing materials, which will help achieve the recovery and reuse of low-temperature waste heat and be applied to energy-saving and decarbonization society construction.
According to Caixin News Agency, recently, the Russian ruble fell more than 8.5% against the US dollar and fell below 110 rubles per US dollar.
