A UV-activated exceedingly adhesive hemostatic biomimetic hydrogel stops high-pressure bleeding of beating heart in 20s without suture.Yesterday we reported a recent work from the Department of Chemistry on flexible zeolite-cotton fiber to stop external bleeding. To treat internal bleeding, the research team led by Prof. OUYANG Hongwei from the School of Medicine designs a biomimetic tissue adhesive product that can polymerize and adhere within seconds, and strongly bond to wet bi...

The first flexible zeolite-cotton hybrid fabric in the world show great procoagulant activity. Blood is the source of life and hemorrhage is the leading cause of mortality. Statistics reveal that approximately 1.9 million people die from excessive blood loss on a yearly basis worldwide. Therefore, the immediate and effective prevention of bleeding is essential to ensuring the survival of a patient with massive bleeding in pre-hospital care. Common first-aid approaches involve applying direct pre...

Today is Museum Day of 2019. There might be no better way to celebrate the Day than to take a trip down to a nearby museum. Luckily, ZJUers will soon have one close enough. Located in the southwestern end of the Zijingang Campus, the Zhejiang University Museum of Art and Archaeology (ZUMAA) is expected to open on Sep. 8, 2019.Basic facts about ZUMAA- A teaching museum with strong focus on liberal education of art history.  - Floor area of 25,000 square meters- Four exhibition galleries...

On May 6 and 7, Dean Prof. BAO Gang led a School of Mathematical Sciences delegation on a trip to Paris, which is a part of a series of engagements that aim to further strengthen ties between ZJU and French universities. The delegation also includes Prof. SHENG Weimin, Prof. ZHANG Ting and Prof. XU Xiang.The delegation visited four top institutions, namely École Polytechnique, Université Paris-Saclay, MINES ParisTech, and Sorbonne Université.

As a clean energy source, hydrogen is characterized as pollution-free, high in combustion value and abundant. Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis. The electric/ photoelectrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process is a complex reaction process involving four-electron transfer, marked by slow-reaction kinetics and high overpotentials, thereby inhibiting the overall energy conversion efficiency.  Researchers have developed Iridium-based materials as state-of-...

Entrepreneurship Education — the first English academic journal about entrepreneurship education in the Asia-Pacific region — is co-published by Zhejiang University UNESCO Chair in Entrepreneurial Education and Springer. Prof. XU Xiaozhou, chair of the UNESCO EE-Net National Chapter in China and director of Zhejiang University UNESCO Chair in Entrepreneurial Education, serves as Editor-in-Chief of the journal. On the editorial board are experts from America, Britain, Germany, Australia, Kor...

Editor's note: Recently the Beijing News interviewed Dr. LU Yingying from ZJU’s College of Chemical Engineering about her research. Here is a translated extract of the interview.Born in 1988, LU Yingying is one of the youngest PhD supervisors at ZJU. As a scientist in chemical engineering, LU believes doing research is a spiral of trial and error, and encourages women to think independently.1. The Beijing News: Prof. Lynden A. Archer, your PhD supervisor at Cornell University...

With the acceleration of the global modernization process, CO2 emissions have escalated tremendously and the greenhouse effect has intensified, contributing to global warming and rising sea levels. The human living environment and the ecological balance have thus been deleteriously affected. It has become the focus of scholars to engage in researching into technologies concerning CO2 separation, capture, storage and utilization in a cost-effective way. Porous materials for CO2 ads...

TU Dezhan, a third-year master’s student majoring in control science and engineering, wins the China’s University Student of the Year 2018 Award for his exceptional work and dedication to research into the leakage detection system for urban water supply pipelines.TU Dezhan is assiduous and perseverant. While preparing for the “Challenge Cup” Competition of Science and Technology, he committed himself to acquiring a totally new 3D modeling framework on his own in order to improve the human-co...
