Taiwan’s semiconductor success
By Liu Pei-chen 劉佩真
In terms of the economic outlook for the semiconductor industry, Taiwan has outperformed the rest of the world for three consecutive years. This is quite rare.
In addition, Taiwan has been playing an important role in the US-China technology dispute, and both want Taiwan on their side, reflecting the remaking of the nation’s semiconductor industry.
Under the leadership of above all Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), the industry as a whole has shifted from a focus on capacity to a focus on quality, as companies now have to be able to provide integration of hardware and software, as well as a powerful ecosystem, to succeed.

A Nanomechanical Approach for Stretching Microfabricated Diamonds
Written by AZoNanoJan 4 2021
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).

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, masks have become an all-too-familiar sight across the nation. On Dec. 28, 1988, thousands of Hakka marched through Taipei carrying a picture of Republic of China founder Sun Yat-sen (孫逸仙) adorned with a mask, in a protest called “Restore My Mother Tongue,” satirically pointing out that the government would deny even the Father of the Nation the right to speak his mother tongue.
Today, 32 years later, the nation has a Hakka Affairs Council and Hakka TV. Hakka is one of the official languages and there are three national universities that have a college offering Hakka
