Abstract:
Diamond is the hardest material in nature. But out of many expectations, it also has great potential as an excellent electronic material. A joint research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has demonstrated for the first time the large, uniform tensile elastic straining of microfabricated diamond arrays through the nanomechanical approach. Their findings have shown the potential of strained diamonds as prime candidates for advanced functional devices in microelectronics, photonics, and quantum information technologies.

Diamond is the hardest material in nature. But out of many expectations, it also has great potential as an excellent electronic material. A joint research team led by
City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has demonstrated for the first time the large, uniform tensile elastic straining of microfabricated diamond arrays through the nanomechanical approach. Their findings have shown the potential of strained diamonds as prime candidates for advanced functional devices in microelectronics, photonics, and quantum information technologies.
The research was co-led by
Dr Lu Yang, Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering (MNE) at CityU and researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT). Their findings have been recently published in the prestigious scientific journal

(SAS, 中美矽晶), Lu Ming-kuang (盧明光), has taken the reins of long-standing home appliances company Tatung (大同) following Tuesday s (Dec. 22) surprise dismissal of incumbent Lin Wen-yuan (林文淵). Chung Yi-wen (鍾依文), who played a prominent role in the leadership of electronics contract manufacturer Foxconn, has assumed the position of general manager of Tatung. The announcement was made in a press conference on Wednesday (Dec. 23), reported CNA. Lu, 72, a business tycoon who has been dubbed the “acquisition king,” is best known for spearheading four acquisitions during his stint as SAS’ chair between 2007 and 2020. His leadership propelled SAS to its status as Taiwan’s leading silico
Safety board urges more monitoring of ‘gray-fleet’ drivers
By Shelley Shan / Staff reporter
The government should establish a system to record traffic violations and accidents committed by professional drivers to address issues caused by “gray-fleet” drivers, the Taiwan Transportation Safety Board said yesterday.
Gray-fleet drivers work for freight cargo companies, but drive their own vehicles.
The board said that it had become concerned about gray-fleet drivers after an unlicensed truck driver who was speeding in August last year killed three environmental protection volunteers.
An investigation found that the driver had worked overtime for three consecutive days prior to the accident, and had consumed energy drinks to try to stay awake.
