Compared with Liuting International Airport, the new airport has a larger scale（规模）, with more than 4 times the size of the terminal and flight areas. The number of runways has changed from 1 to 2, and the number of stands has changed from 70 to 184. Jiaodong International Airport can provide space for more airlines and flights and serve more travelers from all directions. Jiaodong International Airport is the only 4F-class airport in Shandong, which is the highest class of airports. It serves about 130 domestic destinations, and the air express connects to important domestic economic and population centers. The regional aviation （ 航 空 ） operation network covers less developed cities. International and regional destinations include about 50 cities in Japan, South Korea, America and so on. The airport is indeed farther away from the urban area, but it brings Qingdao closer to the world. Opening up is the top priority in building a new development pattern, and it is the core advantage of Qingdao. It’s important to increase this advantage as much as possible, promote innovation with opening-up, and bring reform with innovation. The establishment of Jiaodong International Airport benefits not only Qingdao but also the entire Jiaodong economic area: the whole Shandong Province and the whole Yellow River basin. The airport is located in the center of a T-shaped structure of “Rizhao ‒ Weihai ‒ Weifang”. It is a leading airport that marks the Jiaodong economic circle, and it’s a highway （ 公 路 ） in the air that deeply connects the Jiaodong economic circle with Japan and South Korea. 1.

Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days. Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile （纺织物） that can absorb body heat and re-emit （重发出） its energy into space as midinfrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling, Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror. Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3 ℃, but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin. Inventors Yaoguang and Guan
