Proton May Be Smaller Than We Thought
After making the cover story of Nature in 2010, an international research team led by Prof. Yi-Wei Liu tackled the puzzle of proton size once again through the transition of another muonic hydrogen atom. The measurement of the size of the proton this time is 0.84087 (39) femtometer; consistent with the prior data but the precision of the measurement was increased to 1.7 folds, and the CODATA differences expanded to seven standard deviations and the proton magnetic radius was also obtained. The research result was published on January 25th in Science. President Lih J. Chen and the research team held a press conference at National Science Council on March 6th and stated that Nature and Science are fierce competitors in terms of publishing scientific articles; it is really a rare phenomenon that different stages of the same series of research are published by these two prestigious journals!......<<More>> |

Professor Sue-Lein Wang's Team Published Their Research in Nature
The Research team lead by Prof. Sue-Lein Wang, Department of Chemistry, made a breakthrough in the field of polymorphs nonaporous material. Their research paper "Crystalline Inorganic Frameworks with 56-Ring, 64-Ring and 72-Ring Channel" was published in Nature on February 15th 2013. Their research outcome unraveled the mystery of unsystematic synthesis system of polymorphs nonaporous material that has existed for decades. Prof. Wang's laboratory also developed a system, NTHU-13, to allow scientists to cross the boundary between microporous and mesoporous for the first time in history and to fabricate new polymorphs mesoporous material. This system is also the largest known polymorphs framework channel that for the first time, permitting artificial synthesis to exceed natural production. President Lih, J. Chen and the research team held a press conference at the National Science Council on February 26th and proudly announced this significant breakthrough!......<<More>> |

Strengthening Exchanges with Elite Universities in China
NTHU has made concerted efforts to establish cooperative programs with leading universities in China to facilitate student exchanges as well as collaborative research programs between NTHU faculty and their Chinese counterparts. To heighten the visibility of NTHU, President Chen led two groups of faculty and staff members to visit Nanjing University and Zhejiang University last year and presented Tsing Hua Day on these two campuses. The program of Tsing Hua Day included an introduction of NTHU and a lecture series where our faculty members presented their cutting edge researches. In addition, Mr. Li-Pai Chen, Chair of NTHU Alumni Association and Mr. Wang-Ken Wang, CEO of ADATA Technology, who is also an alumnus of NTHU, were also invited by President Chen as guest speakers in these workshops to share their NTHU experience with Chinese students.......<<More>> |
