To overcome the prohibitive synthetic costs and the vastness of unexplored chemical space in developing high-performance organic photovoltaics (OPVs), a research team (Prof. Hui-Hsu Tsai) from National Central University, Chemistry has developed a robust, highly accurate graph deep learning framework. The team utilized a physics-informed directed message passing neural network (D-MPNN). By representing molecules as fragment-level graphs enriched with theoretically computable

Studying radiation processes provides a useful avenue for gaining a deeper understanding of black holes. In near-extremal black holes, thermal Hawking radiation is strongly suppressed, while the Schwinger effect becomes dominant. Moreover, the near-horizon geometry exhibits enhanced symmetry, which considerably simplifies the analysis. Prof. Chiang-Mei Chen in the Department of Physics, together with his Korean collaborator and student, solved the Dirac equation for charged f

The GREAT Lab at the Graduate Institute of Astronomy is a member ofthe ATLAS survey team and, in 2024, discovered SN 2024ggi in thegalaxy NGC 3621, one of the closest core-collapse supernovae to Earthfound in the past decade, at a distance of about 21.7 million light-years.Assistant Professor Ting-Wan Chen obtained very early observationswith the 40 cm SLT telescope at Lulin Observatory just 14 hours afterthe explosion, and combined LOT spectroscopy with SLT photometry tocarr

Dr. Li-Hsien Sun is a Professor in the Graduate Institute of Statistics at National Central University. He received his Ph.D. in Statistics and Applied Probability, with emphases in financial mathematics and statistics, from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research spans mathematical statistics, time series and symbolic data analysis, control theory, stochastic analysis, and financial mathematics and economics. In particular, he has developed statistical meth

Congratulation, Professor Ching-Cherng Sun win the 2026 SPIE A. E. Conrady Award in Optical Engineering due to his excellent research

The development of new charge-transport materials and interface modifiers to enhance the efficiency and long-term stability of perovskite solar cells is a crucial step toward their commercialization. Professor Chun-Guey Wu’s research team has developed low-cost and readily available spinel-based hole transporting materials, combined with a self-developed organic oligomer as an interface modifier, to assemble high-efficiency perovskite mini-modules. This team is the first in t

With the support of the National Science and Technology Council, Prof. Otto C.-W. Kong has been pursuing quantum physics under the new thinking of q-number values for physical quantities and noncommutative spacetime geometry, now giving a new theory of quantum mechanics in curved spacetime, as a new starting point towards the theory of quantum gravity challenging the framework based on Schrodinger wavefunction representation since 1952. The notion of vector quantity is presen

To encourage faculty members to actively engage in academic research and creative work, the College of Science has established the “Wing-Huen Academic Award” to enhance academic competitiveness. This year marks the first selection of recipients. The inaugural awardees are Professor Chih-Whi Chen from the Department of Mathematics and Professor Fa-Kuen Shieh from the Department of Chemistry. Professor Chih-Whi Chen from the Department of Mathematics receiving the first “Wing-H
