The "2024 Net-Zero Emissions Technology International Contest," jointly organized by the TECO Foundation and National Taiwan University, saw a team from National Tsing Hua University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering take the main competition championship (the Fubon Net-Zero Technology Award). The team, presenting their project titled "Rare Magnetics - Innovative Low-Carbon Recycling and Purification Technology," developed a low-carbon technique for the extraction and recycling of rare earth elements, which can achieve up to 30 times energy savings and promote a circular economy. They claimed the top prize of NT$1 million and will actively seek partners to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities.
The "Wah Lee Innovative Material Competition" sponsored in 2022 by the high-tech materials and equipment supplier Wah Lee Enterprise, attracted 67 innovative entries from 21 universities across the country. The projects, developed collaboratively by students and their advisors, spanned six major fields: sustainable environments, sensing devices, energy applications, metals and ceramics, medical materials and testing, and semiconductor components. Each team showcased unique creativity and originality. Professor Chih-Huang Lai's research team participated with their project, "Copper Unification - Innovative Low-Carbon Recycling and Purification Technology." After intense competition, they stood out among many entries, winning the Silver Award, an outstanding achievement that brought pride to both the university and the department.
Taiwan has made a major breakthrough in memory technology, leading the field in the world. The Ministry of Science and Technology and National Tsing Hua University have cooperated to rewrite the new-generation of MRAM. Using the characteristics of magnets, not only it can read data faster, but also permanently access data. No electricity is used at all, improvement in power saving, to gain an opportunity for the Taiwan market.
Dean Chih-Huang Lai of the College of Engineering at National Tsing Hua University, in collaboration with Professor Hsiu-Hao Lin from the Department of Physics, led a multidisciplinary team including PhD students Po-Hung Lin and Po-Yuan Yang. They developed a groundbreaking core technology for next-generation magnetic memory (MRAM). Leading globally, their research utilizes electron spin currents to control magnetic switching in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic nanolayers. This study was published in February in Nature Materials, the top-ranked international journal in the field of materials science.
The winners of the "Newton International Scholarship" in the United Kingdom was released a few days ago. Liao Rongwei, Ph.D. from the Institute of Materials, National Tsinghua University, is the only winner in Taiwan (Professor Lai Chih-Huang's laboratory). This scholarship supports young post-doctoral researchers to study and study in academic research institutions in the UK, with a funding amount of approximately NT$5 million in two years.
