“X-Men” Tech Comes Closer to Reality: NYCU Unveils Millisecond Wireless Brain Stimulation Breakthrough
A scene once confined to comic books and Hollywood blockbusters may be edging closer to reality. Researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) have developed a groundbreaking millisecond-scale wireless neural modulation technology that could transform the treatment of brain disorders. The study “Magnetic-Driven Torque-Induced Electrical Stimulation for Millisecond-Scale
Everyday Actions, Deep Brain Connections: NYCU Study Uncovers How Chewing and Swallowing Engage the Human Mind
What if every bite of rice or sip of water was more than just a reflex? Researchers from the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) have discovered that these seemingly mundane actions—chewing and swallowing—are intricately linked to the brain’s complex neural networks. In two recently published studies in the Journal
Two Centuries After Bifocals: NYCU Builds World’s First Electronically Adjustable Liquid Crystal Eyeglasses
More than two centuries after Benjamin Franklin invented the bifocal lens, a research team at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) has redefined how people with myopia and presbyopia see the world. Led by Professor Yi-Hsin Lin of the Department of Photonics, the group has developed the world’s first
Asia’s First Large-Scale Rocket Competition: NYCU UAV Team Takes First Place in University Division at 2025 Rocket Taiwan Cup
The team “NYCU UAV Team (好討厭的感覺啊),” a joint squad of students from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and National United University (NUU), clinched first place in the university division of the inaugural Taiwan Rocket Cup (2025), held over the weekend in Pingtung’s Xuhai region. Their winning rocket impressed
NYCU Researchers Develop Brain-Inspired Photonic Synaptic Transistor for Next-Gen AI Vision Systems
Can you imagine a future where autonomous vehicles see road conditions and remember what they saw—just like the human brain? Or hospitals equipped with AI systems that automatically highlight abnormal regions in X-rays and CT scans to assist doctors in their diagnosis? A research team led by Distinguished Professor Po-Tsun
Taiwan’s Top Four Research Institutions Join Forces! Discovers Blood Biomarkers for Migraine Diagnosis
Despite affecting over one billion people worldwide, migraines have long been considered an “invisible disease”—difficult to diagnose and often misunderstood. Diagnosis has relied solely on patients ‘ subjective descriptions with no apparent abnormalities on brain scans and no objective biomarkers. In a breakthrough, a Taiwanese research team has identified specific
