Aug 19 is the Doctors’Day in China. In 2020 hospitals, clinics, medical practices, and communities around the country observe the 3rd National Doctors’ Day. In face of unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, Chinese medical workers firmly stand on the frontline fighting the virus and saving people's lives. Doctors of ZJU affiliated hospitals have been a strong and reliable force in this battle at Hangzhou, Wuhan and other needed places. Their brave heart and big love blow off the cloud of gl...

Have you recently noticed a small blue cargo van wandering around the student residence halls on Zijingang Campus? This is Little G, the self-driving delivery van designed by Alibaba. Every day, it shuttles back and forth between different halls of residence to deliver packages to consignees. Although this self-driving van is small and cute, it can carry a heavy load and cater to the needs of more students.On the strength of such self-driving algorithms as decision planning, high-precision locat...

CMS collaboration recently reported the first measurement of the top-Higgs CP structure. Dr. XIAO MENG, PI in the Department of Physics, made significant contribution to the research effort and was selected as one of two editors for this article published in Physical Review Letters.There is far more matter in the universe than antimatter, which seems a natural phenomenon for most people, however it has always troubled particle physicists. The Big Bang should produce the same amount of matter and...

We are facing an unprecedented moment in history that has disrupted nearly every area of modern life – including visits to college campuses. We know there is no substitute for setting foot on Zhejiang University’s grounds; we cannot replicate what it is like to stand on the front steps of the Library of Zijingang Campus and look down the Lawn toward east gate – just as we cannot recreate the sounds of shuttlecocks flying across the courts in the Yongqian Student Center of Yuquan Campus. But, in...

Journal of Chinese Governance, launched by the Zhejiang University School of Public Affairs and published by Routledge in 2016, was recently selected for multiple citation indexes in Clarivate’s Web of Science, including Social Sciences Citation Index, Journal Citation Reports Social Sciences, Essential Science Indicators, and Current Contents/ Social and Behavioral Sciences.  The journal aims to explore the changing state-society relationship and governance practice in China, and off...

Antennae are typically sensory organs in insects. They respond accordingly by sensing external stimuli. In the physical world, the atomic force microscope is a must for researchers to probe into the “force” of the object while in contact. The core component is its probe which functions as the “antenna” of an insect.However, the spherical atomic force microscopic (AFM) or colloidal AFM tip has a “blind spot” regarding nanoscale measurements. Recently, the research team led by Dr. HU Hu...

 Professor Philip T. Krein, the Executive Dean of ZJU-UIUC Institute, Zhejiang University, will receive the 2021 IEEE Transportation Technologies Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Prof. Krein will be the eighth winner of the award since its establishment, and the first winner from a university in mainland China. The award recognizes Prof. Krein’s continuing contributions to electric vehicle battery management, hybrid system optimization, and othe...

Recently the research team led by Dr. HUANG Wenwen at the ZJU-UoE Institute published an article titled "Stimuli-responsive composite biopolymer actuators with selective spatial deformation behavior" in the PNAS.Bio-inspired actuators are characterized by stimuli-responsiveness and deformability are extensively applied in various fields, such as artificial tissues, medical devices and diagnostics as well as intelligent biosensors. However, most deformable actuators are poorly...

Zhejiang University has leaped forward 12 places within the world's top 100 universities in the latest Academic Ranking of World Universities. The University has been ranked 58th in the world in the 2020 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), improving its position from last year’s ranking of 70th. The Academic Ranking of World Universities is released annually by the Shanghai Ranking Consultancy. It ranks more than 2000 universities worldwide, publishing the top 1000 univ...

Liangzhu Laboratory, aka Zhejiang Laboratory for Systems & Precision Medicine, was set up on July 17, marking the official launch of Zhejiang University Medical Center.“Zhejiang University Medical Center will be committed to becoming a powerful magnet for talents from diverse disciplines and making medical breakthroughs focusing on new demands, technologies and paradigms,” said Prof. LIU Zhihong, Dean of the School of Medicine and Director of Zhejiang University Medical Center.As a Chinese...
