On December 7, 2022,Prof.Fang Yu, Dean of the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials,vice deanProf. Ding Liping, and Prof. Zhai Quanguo,vice dean of the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, participated inand passedthe project defense of the Nano Frontier special key project of the National Key R&D Program.

The organization and evaluation unit of this defense is the High-tech Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the project in defense is nanomaterials and technologies for ultra-high sensitivity detection of trace dangerous and hazardous chemicals.

The project was led by the Xinjiang Institute of Physical and Chemical Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and jointed by Shaanxi Normal University, the CAS’s Institute of Chemistry, the Institute of Chemical Defense of the Academy of Military Sciences of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the Anti-Narcotics Intelligence Technology Center of the Ministry of Public Security and Shenzhen SRED Security and Surveillance Technology Co., Ltd. The project has four sub-projects, which leaders are Zhai Quanguo, Ding Liping, Dou Xincun and Kong Jinglin.

The overall goal of the Nano Frontier special key project is to carry out basic frontier exploration and key technology research on the novel physical, chemical and biological properties of matter at the nanoscale (1-100 nm), such as the effects and mechanisms of single nanoscale, the preparation methods of new nanomaterials and devices, and the new technology of nanoscale characterization, so as to give birth to more major original achievements such as new ideas, new theories, new methods and technologies; and at the same time, carry out interdisciplinary research on nanotechnology and information, energy, biology, medicine, environment and other fields to enhance the supporting role of nanotechnology in key areas of economic and social development.
