Academia Sinica–NHRI 20-Year Follow-up Study Reveals Sevenfold Increase in Breast Cancer Risk from Combined Phthalate Exposure, Metabolic Susceptibility, and Early Menarche Age

A research team led by Academician Chien-Jen Chen, Distinguished Research Fellow at the Genomics Research Center of Academia Sinica, in collaboration with the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) and several universities in Taiwan, has completed a large-scale, 20-year study on breast cancer risk assessment. The findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in March 2026.

The Source of Cosmic Starfire ASIAA Reveals the Hidden “Fuel Reservoir” of Stars.

Where do the stars in the universe come from? During the most active era of star formation, what conditions allowed galaxies to continuously produce vast numbers of stars? Dr. Yi-Kuan Chiang, an Assistant Research Fellow at the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA), has made the first cosmic-scale measurement of the background glow produced by carbon emission lines. His study finds that, during the peak epoch of star formation, the amount of molecular gas in the universe might have been nearly twice that of previous estimates. This result not only fills an important gap in our understanding of the cosmic matter cycle but also reveals the key driving force behind the birth of stars. The findings were published in Nature Astronomy in early March 2026.

Academia Sinica Unveils 20-Qubit Superconducting Quantum Computer: Manufacturing Capabilities Reach Global Top-Tier

Following the announcement in 2023 of Taiwan’s first domestically designed and built 5-qubit superconducting quantum computer, Academia Sinica has reached another major R&D milestone, announcing today the successful development of a 20-qubit superconducting quantum computer. President James C. Liao noted last month that the Academia Sinica team completed a new generation 20-qubit superconducting quantum chip, designed and fabricated in-house, and successfully integrated into a full quantum computing system. This achievement positions Taiwan among the global frontrunners and marks the nation’s official entry into the critical domain of large-scale quantum chip fabrication. The system is already open to domestic academic and research institutions for quantum simulation and related studies, and will eventually serve as a test platform for industrial users in hardware-software integration and algorithm development.

TAIWAN BRIDGES〉Nobel Laureate in Physics Dr. Michel Mayor Delivers Lecture at Academia Sinica Does Extraterrestrial Life Exist? Unveiling the Mysteries of Exoplanets

The fourth lecture of Academia Sinica’s TAIWAN BRIDGES series was held yesterday (the 22nd), featuring Dr. Michel Mayor, Nobel Laureate in Physics (2019) and Emeritus Professor at the University of Geneva. Dr. Mayor delivered a lecture entitled “Is There a Planet B – Will Humanity Emigrate to an Exoplanet?” The lecture attracted more than 500 participants and explored major questions that may seem imaginative yet are grounded in scientific evidence, including “Does life exist elsewhere in the universe?” and “Can humans migrate to a second Earth?”

2026 Taiwan Economic Forecast: Strong but uneven growth in an uncertain environment

In the second half of 2025, progress in trade negotiations and adjustments to U.S. tariff policies reduced market uncertainty and improved the global economic outlook. Expanding demand for AI and high-performance computing supported strong external demand and investment in Taiwan, benefiting related industries. Real GDP grew by 7.18% year on year in the first three quarters and is projected at 7.41% in 2025, an upward revision of 4.48 percentage points from the July forecast of 2.93%. In 2026, global trade is expected to remain affected by the lagged effects of U.S. tariff policies. Although AI-related industry expansion should continue to support external demand and investment, high base effects from 2025 are expected to moderate growth momentum. Overall, real GDP growth in 2026 is projected at 3.71%, with domestic demand and net foreign demand contributing 2.11% and 1.60%, respectively.
