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
NYCU and Harvard Uncover Genetic ‘Brake’ That Limits Liver Regeneration
In a groundbreaking study published in the prestigious journal Cell Stem Cell, researchers from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and Harvard University have identified a critical gene that functions as a molecular “brake”—suppressing the liver’s innate ability to regenerate damaged tissue. The discovery may pave the way for innovative
NYCU and NTUCH Develop Groundbreaking Diagnostic Pipeline to Predict Severity of Rare FOXG1 Syndrome
At the heart of every expecting parent lies a hope—to detect and address any health challenges their child may face as early as possible. Now, a pioneering collaboration between National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and National Taiwan University Children’s Hospital (NTUCH) has taken a significant step toward that
NYCU and German Team Develop Light-Activated Nanopores for Smart Materials and Security Tech
Imagine flipping a molecular switch using nothing but light. A groundbreaking study led by Professor Jiun-Tai Chen from the Department of Applied Chemistry at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), in collaboration with Professor Patrick Théato from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany, has unveiled a novel
