In 2020, NSFC, Royal Society of England and British Academy of Medical Sciences talent program guidelines to promote long-term substantive cooperative research between China and the UK, promote in-depth cooperation and exchange of research talents and research teams between China and the UK In 2020, NSFC, Royal Society of England (RS) and British Academy of medical Sciences（ Academy of Medical Sciences) plans to jointly fund the China UK talent project (the name of the British project is Newton advanced fellowship, i.e "Newton senior scholars fund") to support exchange visits and cooperative research activities between Chinese young scholars and British partners The supported fields of the project are natural science and medicine, including physics, chemistry, mathematics, life science, earth science, engineering and materials science, information science and medicine The funding period of natural science projects is 2 years, and the research period in the application shall be from March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2022; the funding period of medical projects is 3 years, and the research period in the application shall be from March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2023 The applicant shall submit the project progress report at the end of each year and the final report at the end of the project implementation period Http://www.nsfc.gov.cn/publish/portal0/tab434/info76451.htm the prospect of a new flexible refrigeration method "torsional refrigerator" developed by Chinese and American scientists is expected On the occasion of the centennial anniversary of Nankai University, science magazine published online recently reported a new flexible cooling strategy - "torsional cooling", which was developed by an international joint research team of Nankai University and University of Texas at Dallas It is found that the temperature can be reduced by changing the twist of the fiber Because of its higher refrigeration efficiency, smaller size, environmental friendliness and being suitable for many kinds of common materials such as natural rubber, fishing line and nickel titanium alloy, the "torsional refrigerator" based on this method has become promising The findings come from the cooperative research of Professor Liu Zunfeng, the National Key Laboratory of pharmaceutical chemistry and biology, the school of medicine, the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of education of functional polymer, and ray Bowman, the professor of Dallas University of Texas and Yang Shixian professor of Nankai University Http://www.chinanews.com/gn/2019/10-11/8976419.shtml Stuart, Nobel Laureate in chemistry, was employed as honorary professor of Wuhan University of technology recently, and J Fraser Stoddart, 2016 Nobel Laureate in chemistry ）Visiting Wuhan University of science and technology, president Zhang Qingjie, academician of Wuhan University of science and technology, met with Stuart cordially, and the two sides had a friendly talk On the morning of the same day, the school held the appointment ceremony and academic report meeting of Honorary Professor James Fraser Stuart, attended by Wang fazhou, vice president of the school Wang fazhou issued the letter of appointment to situ tat, welcomed and thanked him for joining in, expected him to make contributions to talent training and scientific research of the University, and promoted the first-class discipline construction and academic development of Wuhan University of technology After the appointment ceremony, Stuart visited the Hongru forum of Wuhan University of science and technology, bringing an academic report entitled "the influence of mechanical bond on polymer and material science" to more than 400 teachers and students, explaining the influence of mechanical bond on polymer and material science Https://k.sina.com.cn/article_ee0c602000gytq.html Central South University has made important progress in the field of low-cost electrocatalytic water decomposition recently, Professor Liu Xiaohe's team of School of materials science and engineering of Central South University has made a series of progress in the field of low-cost electrocatalytic materials, advanced functional materials, applied catalysis B Environment and other international authoritative journals published the latest research results of the team Liu Xiaohe's team developed a polymer carbon nitride two-dimensional nano material loaded with nano grains of nickel oxide By constructing a metal nickel nitrogen bond to form a highly conductive interface, the catalytic efficiency of the polymer was greatly improved The strategy has been successfully extended to other transition metal oxides such as cobalt tetroxide, iron oxide and copper oxide The team also developed nano catalyst with transition metal base serpentine structure to further realize high-efficiency electrocatalytic decomposition of water Through the design and synthesis of different proportions of cobalt and nickel based serpentine nanostructures, the electronic energy band structure and electrical conductivity of the materials were adjusted, which effectively improved the catalytic efficiency of the materials, and showed better catalytic activity and stability than commercial ruthenium oxide catalyst under alkaline and neutral conditions Http://www.xinhuanet.com/tech/2019-10/13/c_.htm Chinese scientists have developed a new type of clinical precision medicine technology Liu Qingsong's team of Hefei Institute of material sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, made a breakthrough in the international first confirmatory experiment of using patients' self cancer cells to detect the drug sensitivity in vitro and guide the clinical treatment of liver cancer The preliminary statistical results showed that compared with the patients treated with conventional therapy, the median disease-free period of patients treated with this technology was extended by 8 to 10 months In view of the difficulties encountered in the clinical treatment of liver cancer, Liu Qingsong's team, based on the breakthrough of the key technology of in vitro expansion of primary cancer cells, has developed a tumor clinical precise drug use technology based on the high-throughput in vitro drug sensitivity detection method of cancer patients' own cells, which is "what to eat" for clinical cancer patients, especially those in the middle and late stage who lack guidance in drug use "Moyao" provides scientific decision-making guidance, and has the advantages of wide coverage, high efficiency and strong individualization It is reported that this clinical experiment is the first one in the world to use patients' cancer cells to detect the drug sensitivity in vitro and guide the clinical treatment of liver cancer http://epaper.gmw.cn/gmrb/html/2019-10/13/nw.D110000gmrb_20191013_2-04.htm
