The development of green and sustainable energy is urgent. Inspired by t he water circulation system of trees, our team has developed an all-paper- based environmentally friendly moisture-powered battery (Figure 1). We have created this new type of “self-powered” energy generation device that utilizes hydrophilic paper-based materials, highly conductive two-di mensional materials with rich functional groups, and water-harvesting me tal-organic framework (MOF). The device can autonomously absorb moist ure from the environmentally humidity air and drive the movement of wat er molecules and ions through capillary action and evaporation, leading t o the electrokinetic effect. This enables the continuous production of ener gy with stable, high-efficiency, and long-lasting output voltage and curre nt. The membrane battery can spontaneously generate electricity by simply p utting it in ambient environment. The membrane battery is highly flexible, ensuring continuous power generation even under different bending and folding angles. Under ambient temperature and humidity (25±2 °C, RH 60 ±5 %), a single membrane weighing 0.05 gram achieves impressive perfor mance with high voltage (> 0.55 V), high current (53 μA), and ultra-long-la sting output (> 12 days). More importantly, the power density of up to 10 μW/cm2 can be achieved, much higher than all the similar state-of-the-art moisture electricity devices. To demonstrate the feasibility of practical app lications, we combined eight membranes in series to power electronics, lik e commercial calculator, LED, electronic watch. This innovative invention r epresents a new generation of sustainable energy and can be considered as a future cutting-edge technology. It will contribute to the “Taiwan Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050” pathway.

We introduce a groundbreaking infrared imaging technology that combin es an organic infrared photodetector, a transparent conductive electrode, and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) through heterogeneous integr ation. This integration forms an "organic upconversion device" that exten ds human perception beyond the visible spectrum, unveiling otherwise in visible infrared signals. Leveraging the exceptional sensitivity of organic m olecules to infrared wavelengths, our device converts incident infrared ph otons into a current flow that emits visible light, utilizing multiple layers of functional materials. Notably, our approach presents a monolithic infrared imaging device as an alternative to integrating photodiodes and light-emi tting diodes using inorganic semiconductor technology. The key features of our technology include: 1. Disorder characteristic enabling direct contact between heterogeneous materials. 2. High transparency is achieved by combining the organic molecule's w avelength selectivity with a semi-transparent conductive electrode. 3. Reduced power consumption due to organic molecules' high sensitivit y and quantum efficiency, which cover a broad absorption spectrum from 700 to 2000 nm. 4. Solution processing of the active layer allows low-cost deposition over l arge areas, in contrast to energy-intensive inorganic wafer fabrication. Leveraging these advantages, we developed a compact wearable glasses- based infrared imaging technology for in-situ, real-time monitoring, expa nding human sensing capabilities. This versatile technology finds applicati ons in various fields, including: (1) addressing privacy concerns, the device detects and reveals invisible light emitted by infrared cameras, alerting us ers to potential privacy breaches. (2) Highly sensitive night vision goggles for military combat deployment. By harnessing the potential of our innovative technology, we aim to revol utionize infrared imaging, unlocking new possibilities across di

神農GPT is a knowledge Q&A system integrating Document Retrieval, Extractive Reading, and Generative Language Models for Fact-Retrieval. It prioritizes accuracy in agricultural queries, counteracting the Hallucinations seen in other generative models. By relying on its in-built knowledge base, it assures trustworthy responses. The system is tailored for agriculture, with models trained using Question Generation, agricultural literature, the Inverse Cloze Task, and Pseudo Question Learning, optimizing its reading comprehension of agricultural texts. Unlike purely generative systems, it retrieves, extracts, then consolidates answers, cutting costs and boosting efficiency, and cites knowledge sources.
