NYCU Physicists Unveil Breakthrough in Understanding Strange Metals—A Key to High-Temperature Superconductors
Scientists worldwide have long sought superconductors that carry electrical current without resistance or energy loss. A research team led by Professor Chung-Hou Chung from the Department of Electrophysics at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) has made a significant theoretical breakthrough in this pursuit. They have uncovered the formation
NYCU TCMGRC Unveils Anti-Cancer Potential of Polysaccharides in Poria and Antrodia Cinnamomea
In a groundbreaking study blending centuries-old tradition with modern science, researchers from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) have unveiled potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties in polysaccharides extracted from two popular Chinese medicinal herbs—Poria (茯苓) and Taiwan-native Antrodia cinnamomea (牛樟芝). This discovery marks a pivotal step toward the scientific
NYCU and NHRI Study Reveals New Hope for Alzheimer’s Treatment from a Surprising “Virus Warrior” Gene
Can a gene once believed to fight only viral infections also hold the key to preventing memory loss in Alzheimer’s patients? In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and Taiwan’s National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) have revealed that the immune gene CLEC5A plays a
Revolutionizing Sustainable Fashion: NYCU Develops Self-Healing Material for High-Performance Apparel
The era of discarding high-value functional clothing due to minor damage may soon be over. A breakthrough from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) promises to reshape the future of smart textiles and sustainable fashion. A research team led by Distinguished Professor Jiun-Tai Chen, Dean of the College of
NYCU Develops Brain Degeneration Prediction Technology for More Objective Disease Diagnosis
Psychiatric diagnosis has long relied on clinical interviews and patient history, often lacking objective and quantifiable evaluation standards. To tackle this challenge, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and Taipei Veterans General Hospital (TVGH) have made groundbreaking advancements in brain imaging and artificial intelligence. Since 2019, Professor Chih-Chieh Yang—Chair
NYCU Study Links Improved Air Quality to Better Brain Health in Older Adults
While air pollution is widely known to contribute to lung cancer, recent research suggests it may also impact brain health, potentially increasing the risk of dementia. A recent epidemiological study conducted by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) has found that improved air quality is closely linked to
