Near-infrared (NIR) light can be divided into NIR-I (700–1000 nm) and NIR-II (1000–1700 nm) according to wavelength. The NIR-II quantum efficiency of NIR phosphor can approach 100% by cation substitution and energy transfer strategies. The applications include promoting plant growth (nano fertilizers and plant growth light sources), security and anti-counterfeiting, vein imaging, and photobiomodulation for brain disease treatment.
Future Tech | Materials & Chemical Engineering & NanotechCH3OH as H2 carrier solves the risk of an unstable energy supply. CH3OH is used for H2 transportation and international trade to supply in demanding areas (Taiwan) with insufficient renewable energy, thus improving the stability and resilience of energy. Key technologies include CO2 hydrogenation, CH3OH reforming and CO2 recovery, and high-efficiency H2 storage and transport. We establish H2 storage and production chain to achieve energy security, international trade, and low-carbon goals.
Future Tech | Materials & Chemical Engineering & NanotechA large-scale untethered multiplexing triboelectric electronic skin is proposed with combined attributes including self-powered sensing, large stretchability and elasticity, robustness, and an ultra-low misrecognition rate of 0.20%. The proposed device are promising cornerstones of scalable untethered multiplexing self-powered e-skins, which are highly desired in practical applications, including haptics, human-device interfaces, medical care/assistance, and human-like/robotic perception.
Future Tech | Materials & Chemical Engineering & NanotechAlthough the earliest ornamental orchids for noble aristocrats were already introduced in the mid-16th century, the luminous orchid with its luminous cycle repeating itself night after night made of non-genetically modified biotechnologically safe materials nano high-entropy materials (in compliance with EN71-3:2019). The amount of captured carbonin one month is equivalent to 43.1% of the carbon emissions of one kilowatt hour of electricity.
Future Tech | Materials & Chemical Engineering & NanotechThe "Stretchable Conductive Fiber with Multidimensional Silver Coating"technology is a groundbreaking advancement in smart textiles.

Future Tech | Materials & Chemical Engineering & NanotechPhotodetectors are essential components in the Internet of Things (IoT); however, most conventional photodetectors generate only transient photocurrents, requiring additional processors for data storage. Professor Jung-Yao Chen’s team has developed an innovative non-volatile flash photomemory, achieving a programming time of 0.7 ms and a photoresponsivity of 1.91×10^4 mA W^-1. Furthermore, the integration of a hydrogen-sensitive gasochromic film with the photomemory enables hydrogen leakage detection.
