Vice President Leads Delegation to Indonesia for Academic Exchange

Vice President Yao-Ting Sung led a delegation to Indonesia from November 5 to 11 for an academic exchange visit that included meetings with partner universities, the renewal of cooperation agreements, and participation in a jointly organized international conference.

NTNU Physicists Achieve Multilevel Photomemory via Vortex Light

A research group led by Professors Yen-Wen Lan and Ting-Hua Lu of the Department of Physics, in collaboration with PhD student Yeh-Ru Chen, master’s student Po-Wen Wang, and postdoctoral researcher Wen-Hao Chang, has published new findings in the October 2025 issue of Science Advances. The article, titled “Orbital angular momentum–driven multistate photomemory,” presents a method for achieving multilevel photomemory utilizing the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light. This work marks a departure from the binary constraints of conventional optical memory and establishes the angular momentum of light as a viable and independent parameter for information storage and control.

NTNU Strengthens Ties with UK Universities Through Strategic Visit

A delegation from National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) visited the United Kingdom in late October as part of the Taiwan–UK University Consortium initiative. The trip aimed to strengthen NTNU’s collaboration with British partner institutions in areas including teacher education, sustainability research, Mandarin instruction, and international academic mobility.

Resonance Across Borders: Teaching Exchange Between NTNU and the University of Texas at Austin and the “A Thousand Miles, A True Talent” Concert

A faculty delegation from the Butler School of Music at the University of Texas at Austin visited National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) on October 30 and 31. As part of the visit, the professors conducted teaching demonstrations, delivered lectures, and gave a faculty concert in NTNU’s Historic Auditorium. The two universities have maintained a longstanding partnership, with regular academic and artistic exchanges, particularly in music and the performing arts.

NTNU is Working with Caltech to Advance Quantum Memory Tech

A recent collaboration between the Department of Physics at National Taiwan Normal University and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has successfully overcome a key bottleneck in quantum memory technology. The study demonstrates that at extremely low temperatures, a magnetic field induces polarity ordering in monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) transistors. This breakthrough is poised to bring revolutionary changes to the development of two-dimensional materials and electronic technologies.
