Scientific research has been stepped up in different sectors of the national economy.

A technical group of the Taean Heavy Machine Complex established a bearing steel production method using pig iron cast in oxygen-blast furnace.

The establishment of the new bearing steel production method is of great significance in meeting the demand for different kinds of bearing steel and it has placed the production of bearing steel on a Juche-oriented basis.

The group for the promotion of scientific farming achieved a success in establishing the production process of biodegradable paper for soil clothing which is effective in preventing soil pollution and erosion and loss of nutrients of soil and reducing various farming processes. Scientists are concentrating on completing a new paper production technique capable of doubling the productivity of paper while saving much energy and labour and a production technique of clothing paper which can be used in both paddy and non-paddy fields.

The State Hydro-Meteorological Administration developed an integrated weather forecast system using AI technology, thus making a positive contribution to protecting the people’s life and property from disastrous meteorological phenomena and minimizing damage to different national economic sectors.

The Academy of Food and Consumer Goods Industries under the Ministry of Regional Industry gives technical guidance to improve the quality of products at regional-industry factories and solves technical problems arising in setting up speciality production processes relying on raw material resources in each region, while making active efforts to develop new products.

The Hamhung Branch of the State Academy of Sciences is stepping up the work for generalizing the advanced energy-saving sugar syrup concentration technique to regional-industry factories across the country, and increasing the variety of synthetic perfumes and pigments, which are necessary for the production of high-quality consumer goods, and improving their quality.
