A Submerged Floating Tunnel (SFT) is a great potential traffic structure for crossing long waterways and deep straits. It has been included in one of the 60 important scientific and engineering technical problems by China Association for Science and Technology in this year. Currently, the design and construction technology of SFT has attracted great attention and special research from scientists and engineers in Italy, China, South Korea, Norway, etc.In order to cope with the world-class en...

The research team headed by JIA Junling at the Life Sciences Institute and the research team led by ZHENG Min in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University co-published a research article entitled “Holo-Seq: single-cell sequencing of holo-transcriptome” in the October 17 issue of Genome Biology, a top journal in genomics.Researchers used the single-cell holo-transcriptome sequencing (Holo-Seq) to simultaneously observe small RNAs and mRNAs in a single cell for the first time. The miR...

The research team, headed by XIA Xinhui at the School of Materials Science & Engineering, Zhejiang University, developed a novel type of high-energy lithium-sulfur（Li/S）battery using porous carbon from Aspergillus Oryzae， a species of fugi to ferment soybeans for soy sauces in eastern Asian countries. They introduced porous carbon fermented from waste fruits and vegetables into the energy field as an energy storage material to produce higher-energy Li/S batteries whose capacity is th...

Pioneer of public-key cryptography and Turing Laureate Bailey Whitfield Diffie had his first lesson for undergraduates on Yuquan Campus today. Students from sophomore to senior coming from different campuses gathered for this first lecture.The first lesson is an introduction to cyber security. Starting from the example of a phony caller asking for secret information, Prof. Diffie talked about the relationship between confidentiality and authenticity. According to Prof. Diffie, ran...

Pelvic surgery has long been a hard nut to crack in the medical field due to the complex structure of the pelvis. Pelvic ring reconstruction after resection of pelvic malignancies or aggressive benign tumors remains challenging and formidable both at home and abroad.Recently, the research team led by Prof. YE Zhaoming in the Department of Orthopedics at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine successfully developed an original approach to restructuring pelvi...

Mid-October is the time for more than 6,000 ZJU freshmen to declare their majors. In order to help them learn about different majors, the university held a special "major" exposition last weekend.At this exposition, professors from 34 departments and schools acted as “exhibitors”. They showcased the dazzling highlights in their discipline to freshmen in a vivid and tangible manner.The College of Control Science and Engineering displayed a self-developed quadruped robot dog named &quo...

The research team headed by Prof. MA Yungui at the College of Optical Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, made significant progress in experiments on near-field thermal radiation. Their findings are featured in a research article entitled “Observing of the super-Planckian near-field thermal radiation between graphene sheets” in the October 2 issue of Nature Communications.Objects with temperature will radiate the infrared light arising from the mechanical oscillation of inner ch...

Results are finally in! An education survey has been conducted for five consecutive years since 2014. With information provided by the University, Mycos Inc. independently performs this survey.Curious about how ZJUers think about the overall training they get here, student satisfaction, employment rates and starting salaries?Here is the infographic for you.

The research team led by LIN Aifu, a researcher at the College of Life Sciences, Zhejiang University, published a research paper entitled “LncRNACamK-A Regulates Ca2+ Signaling-Mediated Tumor Microenvironment Remodeling” in the September 13 issue of Molecular Cell.The tumor microenvironment is the cellular environment in which the tumor exists. The tumor and the surrounding microenvironment are closely related and interact constantly. Tumors can influence the microenvironment by rele...

Here is the case when you get sick and want to see a doctor in China. Four line-ups are ahead of you: The first line-up is for making an appiontment, known as guahao in Chinese. After guahao, you wait in line to see the doctor. Then you get your prescription and line up again to pay for it.
