Top Singapore-based physicist relocates to China after superconductor breakthrough

Physicist Stephen Lin Er Chow, who achieved a breakthrough in developing a copper-free superconducting oxide capable of high-temperature superconductivity, has relocated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) to Zhejiang University in China. Chow, who published his findings in the journal Nature last year at the age of 27, led the NUS lab to its first top-tier publication in two decades. He confirmed his full-time move to Zhejiang University, citing his appreciation for Hangzhou's living environment and the scenery around West Lake as contributing factors. This move signifies a significant development for both the physicist and the Chinese university.
