Recent Activities
2023/05/24，Congratulations to Dr. Chun-Wei Pao for receiving "the 21th Far Eastern Y. Z. Hsu Science and Technology Research Thesis Award."
2023/04/18，Dr. Peilin Chen has won the Journal of Materials Chemistry B award at the 2023 Spring MRS Conference by "Design of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Crossing the Blood Brain-Barrier by Modulating Surface Properties."
2023/01/01，Dr. Pei-Kuen Wei will take over as Director of RCAS from January 1, 2023.
2023 Summer Internship Program
This Summer Internship Program is designated to educate the young scholars in
Applied Science and Interdisciplinary Research, providing opportunities for them to
become familiar with research fields and obtains hands-on experiences.
We sincerely invite college students to participate in this Internship Program during summer vacation.
The Summer Internship Program lasts for 8 weeks. Students will get an allowance of NT$8,000 per month during
the internship period and get a certificate of completion if they hand in all reports.
Elite Ph.D. Program is Recruiting!
This Elite Ph.D. Program is reviewed and jointly supervised by researchers and teachers from both sides. The research topic must be a research project jointly identified by both sides. The Research Center for Applied Sciences will cooperate with the contracted departments to cultivate excellent doctoral students and train High-level talents of Applied Science Research.

Dr.Pao’s Paper is on Journal Nature
With the development of cutting-edge technology, materials science research and development is also changing rapidly. RCAS researcher, Dr. Pao, Chun-Wei, and his international collaborators have successfully developed a new ultraelastic chemically complex alloy by collaborative efforts of theoretical simulations and experiments. This new alloy can withstand larger external stresses and strains, has an extremely high elastic limit, and has very low elastic energy losts (Figs. 1B, C). The research findings have been published in the renowned international academic journal Nature in 2022. The elastic limit of this new alloy is one of the highest known standardized strengths, and as such, it could be used in the future for high-precision components in industries such as consumer goods, biomedicine, energy, and aerospace.
