At a ceremony hosted at NCKU’s Resource Circulation and Geological Carbon Reduction Research Center, Dean Chyan-Deng Jan and SLB’s Oilfield Services Manager for Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, Mr. Junichi Tamura, formalized a partnership that promises significant advancements in Taiwan’s green economy and net-zero transition. The agreement symbolizes both organizations' commitment to leveraging their collective strengths to foster technological breakthroughs and practical applications in sustainable energy and climate resilience.

Early diagnosis is critical for improving cancer treatment outcomes. A research team led by Chair Professor Chen-Sheng Yeh of the Department of Chemistry at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) has developed a groundbreaking cancer detection and treatment technology using gold nanoparticles encapsulated within electroactive liposomes. This innovative method eliminates the need for fluorescent dyes—laser light alone is enough to make cancer cells “speak.” By leveraging surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to amplify specific signals, this approach enables the ultra-sensitive detection of even trace amounts of cancer cells.

An 18-member delegation from the City University of New York (CUNY) visited National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) on April 16. Through a series of meetings, both institutions deepened mutual understanding and engaged in in-depth discussions on potential collaboration in the medical field, aiming to further promote higher education exchange and cooperation between Taiwan and the United States.

The Physical Education Office at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) is dedicated to encouraging faculty, staff, and students to actively participate in sports, fostering camaraderie, and promoting physical well-being. This year, the university launches the “NCKU Sports Year.” NCKU aims to bring the campus community together through a year-long series of athletic events, advocate for a healthy lifestyle, and cultivate teamwork across disciplines. The “Mixed Relay Race” kicked off the initiative, which received an enthusiastic response from the moment registration opened. A total of 28 teams signed up, showcasing the NCKU community’s passion for sports. The finals on March 13th saw eight teams competing fiercely for the championship. President Meng-Ru Shen expressed strong support for the event, attending both the preliminaries and the finals. He fired the starting pistol and presented the awards, adding to the thrilling atmosphere of the competition.
