Taipei, March 16 (CNA) A team comprising 17 research groups has been formed to accelerate development in Taiwan of quantum computing, a series of theoretical technologies capable of exceeding the physical limitations of conventional computers.
Taipei, March 9 (CNA) Academia Sinica, Taiwan's top research institution, will host 10 Ukrainian scholars and students as part of Taiwan's efforts to assist Ukrainians in the wake of Russia's invasion, said the institute's president James Liao (廖俊智) Wednesday.
Taipei, March 9 (CNA) An Academia Sinica team has designed a cell-free means of biological fixation that could potentially speed up the process by which plants, and other living organisms that are capable of carbon fixation at scale, remove carbon dioxide from the Earth's atmosphere.
Academia Sinica researchers have discovered a way to capture carbon dioxide without using a living organism, offering a more flexible and efficient approach to removing carbon dioxide from the air.
The study published on Feb. 23 in the journal Nature Catalysis is the result of seven years of research and development, the national academy announced yesterday.
At present, biological methods are the most effective way to reduce carbon dioxide at scale by fixing carbon in cells as organisms grow, Academia Sinica said.
As photosynthesis can be slow, the researchers investigated a nonbiological way of sequestering carbon, which could theoretically then be converted into
