On April 28, 2024, Prof. Fang Yu attended the first Frontier and Interdisciplinary Science Forum held in the Western China Science And Technology Innovation Harbour of Xi'an Jiaotong University in Xi’an, and presented a report titled “Sensitive Material Innovation and CBRN Sensors - Taking Film-based Fluorescence Sensors as an Example”.

Starting from the value of basic science in combination with the importance attached by developed countries in the field of basic research and his own years of research experience, Fang Yu emphasized the importance of basic research. Focusing on the research and development process of sensors, he introduced the core and key technologies of film-based fluorescence sensors - sensitive materials and supporting hardware with independent intellectual property rights, and discussed the research progress of sensitive materials from three aspects of sensor sensitive materials, film material interface engineering and film sensor substrate optimization, so as to clarify the research ideas and standardize the research process for the young attendees, providing a reference example for carrying solid basic research.

Sponsored by XJTU’s Frontier Institute of Science and Technology, this forum brings together top experts and scholars at home and abroad to discuss cutting-edge issues of technological innovation and new quality productivity development, with a view to contributing to the promotion of scientific progress and social development.

CAS Academicians Jiang Guibin, Yang Xiurong, Guan Xiaohong, Fan Chunhai, Xu Zhenghe, as well as experts, scholars from 33 universities and research institutes and heads of enterprises attended the forum.
