傳統液態鋰電池在遭受機械損傷如穿刺時,可能發生熱失控現象,導致升溫、冒煙甚至起火,這是電池安全領域長期面臨的技術挑戰。同時,工業排放氣體中的二氧化碳分離與氫氣純化是實現淨零排放目標的關鍵技術環節。
電池充飽電後,即使遭穿刺、剪破,竟然沒有明顯升溫,連接的LED燈泡還能持續發亮!國立台灣科技大學化工系講座教授黃炳照、助理教授黃貞睿團隊研發全固態鋰離子電池,在2026年Net Zero Tech淨零排放科技國際競賽獲能源組亞軍;應用科技研究所榮譽講座教授鍾台生團隊則以氣體分離膜技術獲永續組亞軍,兩隊各獲60萬元獎金。
台科大表示,傳統液態鋰電池遭穿刺後,可能快速升溫,甚至冒煙起火。研究團隊將充至100%電量的全固態電池進行穿刺、裁切測試,並以儀器監測,結果幾乎沒有明顯升溫,即使通電中的軟包電池遭剪破,LED燈仍持續發亮,電池也未出現明顯異常,顯示可大幅降低機械損傷造成的起火及熱失控風險。

團隊也導入乾式電極製程,直接將材料混合後滾壓成型,省去傳統混漿、塗佈、乾燥及溶劑回收等步驟,減少有機溶劑使用及能源消耗;搭配矽負極薄膜技術,改善電池反覆充放電時,矽材料膨脹、收縮造成的破裂問題。未來可望應用於穿戴裝置、無人機及醫療設備等領域。
另一項獲獎技術則是替工業排放氣體「分家」。鍾台生團隊研發高性能氣體分離膜,利用不同氣體分子的特性,讓特定氣體通過薄膜,提高二氧化碳捕捉及氫氣純化效率。其中一項技術使二氧化碳滲透率提升45%;另一項則將氫氣對二氧化碳的分離選擇性由2.83提升至69.99,並在300小時乾濕循環測試中維持穩定性能。
廢電池也能變身能源材料。化工系教授張家耀團隊利用超音波處理及氧化活化技術,將廢鋰電池回收後的黑粉重新活化,轉化為電解水產氫及鋰空氣電池所需材料,獲永續組「大華銀投信永續科技獎」。目前已完成原型驗證,四單元模組每分鐘可產生約150毫升氫氣。
此外,台科大應用科技研究所特聘教授王復民及機械系副教授陳羽薰團隊,也分別獲得永續組及能源組佳作。

Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology released China's first brain-computer interface fine motion reconstruction system based on high-channel matrix electrical stimulation. Ms. Chu, a 39-year-old hemiplegic patient, successfully reconstructed the fine movements of her fingers and played the song "Little Star" under brain control through training with this system.

Wu Jianfu, director of the Earthquake Forecasting and Forecasting Center of the Central Meteorological Administration, said that about 9 seconds after the Hualien magnitude 7.2 earthquake occurred on April 3, 2024, the Meteorological Administration issued the first wave of national warnings, using the difference in the transmission speed of P waves and S waves to warn before the arrival of strong shock waves. Although response time can be obtained from seconds to tens of seconds in areas far away from the epicenter, there are still early warning blind spots near the epicenter. The Meteorological Administration has adjusted the conditions for issuing warnings and expanded the coverage of warnings.

A facility in Caofeidian, Tangshan, Hebei province has entered trial production, processing waste brine at a three-to-one ratio to yield one tonne of concentrated seawater (120g/L salinity) and two tonnes of fresh water, offering a solution to global seawater discharge challenges, according to Science and Technology Daily.

Academia Sinica has joined hands with National Taiwan University and other institutions to promote the "Taiwan Bridge Project" and invited 31 Nobel Prize winners to visit Taiwan from November last year to April this year. This project not only deepens academic exchanges, but also emphasizes humanistic care, inspires researchers through close interactions, and promotes long-term cooperation with international research institutions such as Taiwan and the UK.

Fields medallist Shing-Tung Yau has launched the Yau Laboratory Alliance for Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence in Beijing, uniting eight institutions to accelerate AI integration in mathematical research and address the gap with the United States.

The Dunhuang Academy recently demonstrated the latest progress in the protection and restoration of the Mogao Grottoes murals and sculptures. Scientific researchers use nano sponges and digital technology to overcome problems such as smoke control. The young generation of restorers are inheriting traditional skills while protecting millennium cultural heritage.
