Omar Yaghi of the University of California, Berkeley, will head an initiative to apply artificial intelligence to the discovery of new materials.

He received his Nobel Prize for helping discover a world of chemistry in which molecular building blocks are assembled into structures that possess vast internal surface areas — the largest of any known substance. His porous structures can act like sponges that readily absorb, store and release gases and vapors.

The article is paywalled. It's not the first time that OP is posting only headline in favor of China without a content.

Many US-based scientists have been moving to other countries over Trump's crackdown on research funding.

Nature reported:

The move [ Omar Yaghi leaving the US] comes as the administration of President Donald Trump continues its attempts to slash US science spending and limits international research partnerships. Some nations, including China, have responded by trying to lure US talent with the promise of money and support. Earlier this year, for instance, France announced that it would award funds to dozens of US scientists relocating there. China has been wooing international researchers with talent-recruitment programmes, and some of its cities and provinces are even offering researchers lump sums and monthly allowances to relocate within their borders.
