Recently, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) announced the evaluation results of the 2024 National Major Research Instrument Development Program, and the project of “Flexible Nanomembrane Controlled Preparation Research System” submitted by Prof. Fang Yu was approved, with a direct funding of CNY 7,827,300 yuan, which is the largest single funding approved by the university as a supporting unit so far. This is the largest single funding approved by by NSFC with SNNU as the supporting institution so far.

This project is jointly submitted with Shenzhen SRED Security and Surveillance Technology Co., Ltd. and is to be undertaken under by the Institute of New Concept Sensors and Molecular Materials led by Prof. Fang Yu. The project brings together the backbone researchers of chemistry, physics, materials, electronics, optical engineering and other disciplines, to build temperature and humidity strictly-controllable, external interference basically-eliminated flexible nano-film control preparation system and real-time online research system, towards flexible nano-film gas/liquid, liquid/liquid interfaces limiting domain controlled preparation, focusing on interfacial structure evolution caused by block interfacial assembly and interfacial reaction.

The National Major Scientific Research Instrument Development Program is the largest single project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), which is oriented to scientific frontiers and national needs, and guided by scientific objectives, encourages and funds the development of original scientific research instruments and core components that play an important role in promoting the development of science, exploring the laws of nature, and opening up new fields of research, in order to enhance the country’s capacity of scientific and technological original innovation.
