Academician Zheng Nanfeng Launches Research Initiative

Published June 3, 2026 · 5 min read · XIHE Research Division

Overview

Researchers affiliated with Jiageng Innovation Laboratory (IKKEM) and Xiamen University have launched an ongoing research initiative examining potential applications of graphene far-infrared technologies in neuropsychiatric health.

The program is led by Academician Zheng Nanfeng, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Xiamen University. The research brings together materials science, biomedical engineering, and clinical investigation to explore how precisely engineered graphene far-infrared materials interact with biological systems.

According to publicly available information, related clinical research activities are being conducted in collaboration with Xiamen Xianyue Hospital. The studies remain ongoing, and results have not yet been published.

The purpose of the research is to generate evidence through rigorous scientific investigation. No conclusions regarding clinical outcomes should be drawn until the studies have been completed, analyzed, and peer-reviewed.

Research Background

Graphene far-infrared technology has attracted increasing research interest due to its unique physical properties. Unlike conventional infrared sources, precision-engineered graphene materials can be designed to emit within specific wavelength ranges — most notably around 9.4μm, a wavelength at which research suggests biological tissues demonstrate strong absorption characteristics.

Previous studies have explored far-infrared applications in areas including microcirculation, cellular energy metabolism, and inflammatory modulation. The current research initiative extends this investigation into neuropsychiatric health — an area where non-invasive, non-pharmacological approaches are of growing interest to the research community.

The research program is designed to generate preliminary data that may inform future controlled studies.

Institutional Collaboration

The research involves collaboration between:

Jiageng Innovation Laboratory (IKKEM) — a major innovation platform focused on advanced materials, energy technologies, and translational research. IKKEM provides the materials science and engineering foundation for the program.

Xiamen University — Professor Zheng's academic affiliation and a center for biomedical and clinical research.

Xiamen Xianyue Hospital — a clinical institution providing medical expertise and research infrastructure for neuropsychiatric investigation.
