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

Before he founded a pioneering environmental engineering school there, Professor Zheng Chunmiao had never set foot in Shenzhen, located in China’s southern Guangdong province. As a result, he didn’t witness the explosive growth of the city’s designated “Special Economic Zone,” as it ballooned in population from nearly 60,000 to 13 million over the past four decades and became home to more than 70,000 tech companies.

Visitors take in the displays at an exhibition during the China Science Fiction Convention 2020 in Beijing on November 11(XINHUA)
Fortunately, November 1 was not a working day, meaning Yu Meng en could attend the China Science Fiction Convention 2020 on its opening date. The convention, featuring both online and offline events, took place in Beijing. As a super fan, how could I not be one of the first to get here? she said. In the eyes of Yu, a government employee, it has not been the easiest of feats for China s science fiction industry to have made it this far.
