On November 21th, 2020, at the invitation of team leader Qing, Professor Xia Fan, Dean of the School of Materials and Chemistry, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan), visited our research group, and in the afternoon he gave an academic report on "Biomolecule Detection Based on Micro/Nanopores" for us.
In this report, Professor Xia Fan fully explained the three stages of his team from "catch eyebrows and beards" to "catch eyebrows and beards separately" to "hang up the beard and grab eyebrows" in simple language, quotation, and humor. The research idea of modifying functional elements inside and outside nanopores for biomolecular recognition has enabled teachers and students to fully understand the principle of "biomolecular detection" using nanopores. At the same time, Professor Xia Fan also shared his scientific conjectures and demonstrations about quantum effects related to topics such as "ultra-small aperture ultra-fast transmission" and "potassium ion channel selective transitivity", which aroused widespread interest. Finally, Professor Xia Fan gave a detailed answer to everyone's doubts and questions and took a group photo with the teachers. This report greatly broadened the students' horizons and inspired everyone to break through conventions and be good at thinking in scientific research.
