In collaboration with Profes-sor Yann-Wen Lan of the Department of Physics at National Taiwan Normal Uni-versity (NTNU) and Professor Lain-Jong Li of the National University of Singapore (NUS), the team has, for the first time, directly measured the carrier transfer length at the metal/semiconductor contact edge of advanced two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor transistors under actual device operating conditions, with atomic-scale spatial resolution. This breakthrough overcomes the long-standing limitation of relying solely on theoretical simulations and indirect extrapolations, providing the first direct experimental evidence for evaluating transistor scaling potential. The findings were published on July 1, 2026, in Nature, one of the world's leading scientific journals.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Foreign Minister attends French National Day reception]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://taiwantoday.tw/2/285244]]></link><guid>29145</guid><pubDate>2026-07-17</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung attended festivities organized by the French Office in Taipei in honor of the country’s national holiday July 14 in Taipei City, where they celebrated the friendship and cooperation between Taiwan and France.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[President Lai confers decoration on French Office in Taipei Director Franck Paris]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/7181]]></link><guid>29146</guid><pubDate>2026-07-17</pubDate><description><![CDATA[On the morning of July 15, President Lai Ching-te conferred the Order of Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon on French Office in Taipei Director Franck Paris in recognition of his outstanding contributions to strengthening Taiwan-France relations and promoting bilateral political interactions as well as exchanges and cooperation across a wide range of fields during his tenure.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[VP Hsiao receives Estonian parliamentary delegation]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://taiwantoday.tw/2/285276]]></link><guid>29149</guid><pubDate>2026-07-17</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim said July 16 that Taiwan is committed to deepening partnerships with Estonia in areas spanning security, technology and trade, based on the two sides’ increasingly close relationship.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[MOFA calls Italian bill vital for cultural exchanges]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://taiwantoday.tw/2/285274]]></link><guid>29150</guid><pubDate>2026-07-17</pubDate><description><![CDATA[A bill protecting foreign artworks on temporary loan from seizure passed by the Italian Parliament is sincerely welcomed by the government and people of Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said July 15.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[MOC invites Taiwan performing arts companies to apply for APAP’s UP NEXT!]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.moc.gov.tw/global_outreach/News_Content2.aspx?n=532&s=258865]]></link><guid>29135</guid><pubDate>2026-07-16</pubDate><description><![CDATA[The U.S. Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) is now accepting applications for its UP NEXT!
