2024年9月8日，由上海交通大学承办的2024浦江创新论坛——未来材料：交叉创新与可持续发展专题论坛在上海举行。
我院创院院长Oliver G. Schmidt院士作《Micro-Origami robots: On the verge of artificial life for a new generation of microelectronic materials》特邀报告，分享了在微电子材料方面的前沿工作，介绍如何通过自折叠微型折纸机器人，在自组装电子纳米膜材料方面取得巨大进步。这些微型机器人可以通信、对接并配置成更大的实体，就像简单的人工生物体，这些颠覆性的发展将适用于各种应用场景。
论坛共有来自政府、高校、科研机构、行业企业等300余位专家、学者及企业家代表参加，共同探讨未来材料研究发展趋势和应用前景。上海市科学技术工作委员会委员、上海科学院党委书记秦文波，上海市闵行区人民政府区长陈华文，上海市闵行区人民政府副区长张贤，上海交通大学党委常委、副校长刘卫东以及科技部、上海市科委、上海市闵行区政府、上海科学院、上海交通大学、复旦大学、中科院上海硅酸盐研究所等相关领导出席本次论坛。
此次《未来材料：交叉创新与可持续发展》专题论坛不仅是一场思想碰撞的学术盛宴，更是一个加强国际交流、加速技术革新的重要平台。借此研讨平台，我们期待能激发更多创新思维的火花，以推动材料科学技术领域的技术进步，并为应对全球性挑战提供更多可行的解决方案。
On September 8th, the “2024 Pujiang Innovation Forum—Future Materials: Interdisciplinary Innovation and Sustainable Development” was held at Shanghai, hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Our founding director Prof. Oliver G. Schmidt has delivered a keynote report titled “Micro-Origami robots: On the verge of artificial life for a new generation of microelectronic materials” He shared how self-folded microorigami robots make large leaps forward in self-assembling electronic nanomembrane materials into finely grained artificial units. These microorigami robots can communicate, dock together and configure into larger entities like simple forms of artificial organisms. The impact of these disruptive developments will be addressed for various application scenarios.
The forum was attended by over 300 experts, scholars, and industry representatives from the government, universities, research institutions, and enterprises. Together, they discussed the development trends and application prospects of future materials research.
This forum was not only an academic feast of intellectual exchange but also an important platform for strengthening international collaboration and accelerating technological innovation. Through this platform, we hope more sparks of innovative thinking can be inspired to drive technological advancement in the field of materials science and technology, and to provide more viable solutions for addressing global challenges.
