On 21 September 2026, Professor Wei Zhang from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Xi’an Jiaotong University was conferred the Ovshinsky Lectureship Award at the 24th European Phase-Change and Ovonics Symposium (E\PCOS), held in Leuven, Belgium.Established in 2014 in memory of Stanford Ovshinsky, the founding father of phase-change memory field, the Ovshinsky Lectureship Award i...

Event vision is highly effective at detecting changes in dynamic scenes, yet it remains challenging to simultaneously encode the magnitude of those changes. Researchers at the State Key Laboratory for Mechanical Behavior of Materials at Xi’an Jiaotong University have addressed this limitation by introducing information-weighting capability directly into the intrinsic photoresponse of organic m...

OverviewCombining a large response amplitude with high-frequency operation is a central requirement for piezoelectric materials used in ultrasonic transduction, precision actuation, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and related applications. Achieving both simultaneously, however, has remained a long-standing scientific challenge. Recently, Professor Haijun Wu’s group, part of the researc...

State Key Laboratory for Mechanical Behavior of Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Xi’an Jiaotong UniversityResearch BackgroundPractical deployment of high-performance thermoelectric materials relies not only on superior energy-conversion efficiency but also heavily on mechanical reliability during processing, assembly, welding, and thermal-cycling service conditions. For ...

​Research BackgroundThermoelectric materials enable direct mutual conversion between thermal energy and electric energy, holding promising application prospects in fields such as industrial waste-heat recovery, deep-space power generation, chip thermal management, optical-communication temperature control, biomedicine and solid-state refrigeration. As a solid-state energy-conversion technology...
