兩會焦點：腦機接口破圈！從「腦器交互」到產業落地 產學研共啟萬億新賽道

03/06/2026
香港, 2026年3月6日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在 2026 年全國兩會上，腦機接口不再是局限於實驗室的 「前沿黑科技」，而是以多份精准提案、建議躋身參政議政核心視野，成為銜接國家戰略佈局、臨床實際需求與產業創新發展的重要議題。從前瞻性政策引導到臨床落地探索，從「腦機接口」技術深耕到「腦器交互」理念升級，代表委員們的深度思考與務實建議，正勾勒出我國腦機接口領域從技術突破向產業成熟邁進的清晰路徑，彰顯出這一前沿賽道從「概念熱詞」向「行業實景」轉型的堅實步伐。理念升級賦能：從「腦機接口」到「腦器交互」的系統突破全國人大代表、電子科技大學中古腦器交互實驗室主任堯德中，從技術理念層面為行業發展提供全新視角 - 從「腦機接口」延伸至「腦器交互」，將大腦置於「腦 - 體 - 環境」整體系統中重新審視。當前公眾對腦機接口的認知，多局限於「一根電極、一個芯片」的單點突破，卻忽略大腦與身體器官、外部環境的深度關聯。堯德中強調，「腦器交互」並非否定腦機接口，而是將視野從單一的大腦信號讀取，拓展至心率、內分泌、睡眠節律、情緒狀態及外部刺激等多維度因素，破解傳統「頭痛醫頭」的還原論局限，契合東方系統思維的整體觀。這一理念升級對技術提出更高要求：腦電信號不僅要「採得上來」，更要「採得細、採得穩、採得夠久」，才能為人體系統狀態判斷與干預提供精准依據。與此同時，如何以最小創傷、最安全方式將電極、導線、芯片送達目標神經區域，成為支撐「腦器交互」落地的關鍵技術瓶頸，也讓微創介入、精准植入等相關技術研發價值愈發凸顯。堯德中表示，「腦器交互」旨在推動我國腦機接口領域走出差異化發展賽道，將中國醫學智慧轉化為信息時代新範式，既服務重大腦疾病干預與康復，也為產業創新拓展更廣闊空間。臨床導向破局：從實驗室成果到民生實用工具「腦機接口的價值，終究要落到臨床應用、惠及患者身上。」全國政協委員、中國科學院院士、浙江大學醫學院附屬第二醫院院長王建安，在今年兩會上帶來《前瞻佈局腦機接口醫療器械產業，攻克核心技術並構建倫理安全屏障》的提案，將焦點鎖定技術落地「最後一公里」，打破「重研發、輕轉化」的行業困境。作為深耕臨床一線的專家，王建安深刻意識到，腦機接口涉及侵入式操作與高敏感腦數據處理，兼具技術創新性與安全風險性，需在鼓勵探索與守住底線之間找到平衡。他建議國家在科研環節建立清晰准入機制，優先扶持具備神經科學、工程技術、倫理管理與臨床資源的綜合性機構，讓技術探索在規範化、可控化框架內推進，從源頭規避安全隱患與倫理風險。針對當前行業普遍存在的「論文成果多、臨床落地難」痛點，王建安進一步提出探索「准臨床」機制：在充分論證與嚴格監管前提下，選取條件成熟單位，以可追溯、有限範圍方式服務真實患者，允許適度收費，通過真實世界數據反哺技術迭代與行業規範制定，推動腦機接口從實驗台、論文頁真正走進病房，成為幫助神經疾病患者恢復功能、提升生活質量的「新工具」。而這一落地過程，始終離不開上游核心器械的支撐。能實現長期植入、穩定採集信號且兼具安全性的硬件平台，是所有腦機接口臨床應用與技術拓展的基礎前提，也是產業發展不可忽視的核心環節。上游發力：隱形力量築牢產業發展底座當「腦機接口」「腦器交互」成為公眾熱議焦點，行業討論多集中於算法優化、應用場景拓展等顯性領域，而在臨床實踐與產業發展背後，上游核心器械企業的默默耕耘，正為整個賽道搭建堅實「隱形底座」。腦機接口的臨床應用效果，直接取決於上游器械性能：柔性高通量電極陣列能否在不損傷神經組織前提下精准靠近目標神經區域；低功耗芯片能否在極小體積內完成信號採集與初步處理；微創或介入式植入路徑能否降低手術創傷與長期併發症風險…… 這些基礎技術細節，直接決定腦電信號讀寫「清晰度」與設備長期使用「耐久度」。近年來，一批長期深耕神經介入、微創腦外科領域的企業，開始將既有技術積累向腦機接口方向延伸，成為上游產業核心力量。2025年11月，微創腦科學在上海成立「混沌腦機研究院」，依託其在神經血管介入、深部腦刺激等領域的成熟技術平台，聚焦更適合長期植入的柔性電極及封裝工藝、集成信號採集與刺激的微型化系統，以及適配臨床場景的手術路徑與隨訪方案，開展前瞻性研究與技術儲備。這類企業佈局少有高調宣傳，卻以扎實技術積累為腦機接口臨床落地提供可靠支撐。當高位截癱患者通過腦機接口系統操控輪椅自主移動、神經疾病患者在康復訓練中重新完成精細動作時，背後都離不開這些上游器械企業的默默賦能。人才築基長遠：醫工融合培育產業核心力量技術突破與產業落地，終究離不開人才支撐。全國政協委員、天津大學副校長明東長期深耕腦機接口科研一線，他在兩會期間提出的建議，將目光投向行業長遠發展的「人才梯隊建設」，為腦機接口產業可持續發展「備課」。明東指出，腦機接口是典型交叉學科領域，一端連接神經科學、臨床醫學等生命科學，另一端銜接電子信息、材料科學、算法工程等工科，對人才跨學科素養要求極高。當前傳統按院系、按學科「各自為戰」的培養模式，難以滿足行業對複合型人才的需求，成為制約產業高質量發展的重要因素。為此，他建議在高校中加快構建腦機接口相關交叉學科培養體系，從本科階段推動醫學、工科、信息科學基礎訓練貫通融合，同時搭建實驗室與企業聯合實踐平台，讓學生在真實科研項目與產業場景中積累經驗、提升能力，為未來十年、二十年產業發展，預先儲備一支「懂醫學、通工程、善創新」的複合型人才隊伍。在業內人士看來，這支人才梯隊既是臨床落地的執行者、「腦器交互」理念的踐行者，更是打通產學研壁壘、推動技術從創新到應用的核心橋樑。資本賦能致遠：萬億賽道啟新程 戰略佈局謀長遠2026年全國兩會對腦機接口的高度關注，進一步激活市場活力與資本熱情，推動這一前沿賽道從技術探索期加速邁向產業爆發期。市場規模持續擴容，充分印證產業潛力：根據全球知名市場研究機構麥肯錫預測，全球腦機接口醫療應用市場規模有望在2030年達到400億美元，2040年達到1450億美元（約合萬億人民幣）。資本佈局進一步彰顯行業價值，國內外融資動作頻繁。國際上，馬斯克旗下Neuralink完成6.5億美元E輪融資，估值躍升至90億美元，所融資金將加速全球臨床試驗與產品研發；國內，「杭州六小龍」之一的強腦科技完成約20億元融資，規模居全球第二，且已以保密形式提交港股IPO申請，標誌著我國相關企業邁入資本化、規模化新階段。目前，「政策+技術+臨床+資本+人才」的良好生態已初步成型。未來，隨著「腦器交互」理念踐行、核心技術突破及產學研用融合，我國腦機接口產業將穩步推進產業化，破解民生醫療痛點，在全球前沿賽道夯實優勢，以技術創新助力健康中國建設。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Hong Kong Completes First Green Methanol Bunkering, Driving Green Transformation of Its International Shipping Hub

03/05/2026
HONG KONG, March 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – 5 March 2026, the world’s first methanol dual-fuel roll-on/roll-off vessel, CM HONG KONG, successfully completed its first green methanol bunkering operation in Hong Kong. This also marks China's first green methanol bunkering operation conducted at anchor.This milestone signifies a major breakthrough in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s deepened collaboration with enterprises including China Merchants Group (CMG), China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec Group), and China International Marine Containers Group (CIMC). The achievement responds proactively to the “Dual Carbon” goals and advances implementation of Hong Kong’s Action Blueprint for Green Marine Fuel Bunkering, marking a solid step forward in Hong Kong’s development into an international green marine fuel bunkering centre.The bunkering ceremony, themed “RIDING THE TIDE, GREENING THE FUTURE”, was jointly hosted by China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES), Sinopec (Hong Kong), and CIMC Enric at the Legislative Council Complex. Officiating guests included the Secretary for Transport and Logistics of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Hon Mable CHAN, JP; the Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Diane WONG Shuk-han, JP; the Director of Marine, WONG Sai-fat, together with Members of the Legislative Council, the Hon Gary CHAN Hak-kan, SBS, JP; the Hon Judy CHAN Kapui, MH, JP; the Hon Erik YIM Kong, JP; the Hon Aaron BOK Kwok-ming; Dr the Hon Webster NG Kam-wah, JP; Capt the Hon Lothair LAM Ming-fung; and the Hon Tommy CHUNG Ki-fung. Representatives from CMG, Sinopec, and CIMC, along with more than 100 distinguished guests from the shipping, energy, equipment manufacturing, and financial sectors, witnessed the significant moment.During the ceremony, officiating guests jointly launched the bunkering operation. A live screen broadcast the “first injection” of green methanol into CM HONG KONG, while simultaneously displaying the internationally certified green attribute certificate.The vessel completed bunkering via a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer, receiving approximately 500 tonnes of green methanol. According to calculations, this volume is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 85% compared with conventional marine fuels.The green methanol was produced and supplied by CIMC Enric and has obtained ISCC EU certification. The bunkering operation was carried out through Sinopec (Hong Kong)’s professional bunkering service system, and the fuel was ultimately applied by CMES as the shipowner. The operation fully demonstrated a closed-loop green methanol value chain encompassing “production–storage–shipping–bunkering–application”.Pursuant to the Strategic Cooperation Agreement on Jointly Building the Hong Kong Green Methanol Bunkering Centre signed in November 2025, the three parties leveraged their respective core strengths in ocean shipping, oil and gas and green fuel storage-transport-sales, and energy equipment manufacturing. Technical validation, solution optimisation, and emergency preparedness were completed in advance to ensure smooth implementation.To ensure safe and efficient operations, relevant HKSAR Government departments worked in close coordination with participating enterprises. The Transport and Logistics Bureau, Marine Department, Customs and Excise Department, and Immigration Department provided end-to-end support in policy guidance, streamlined approvals, and safety oversight in accordance with the Action Plan on Green Maritime Fuel Bunkering.This inaugural bunkering is not merely a technical demonstration, but a pivotal practice in establishing Hong Kong’s green marine fuel bunkering ecosystem. It verifies both the technical feasibility and commercial operability of green methanol bunkering in Hong Kong, and showcases a “Hong Kong’s Approach” characterised by government-enterprise collaboration, port-shipping synergy, and full industry-chain coordination. This initiative helps attract more green vessels to call at Hong Kong and encourages Hong Kong-registered vessels to increase their usage of green marine fuels, striving to achieve the target of 7% by 2030.The three organizations that collaborated to complete this bunkering operation stated that they would continue to further deepen cooperation, promote the industrialisation, scaling, and regularisation of green methanol supply in Hong Kong, and accelerate the establishment of a comprehensive ecosystem covering production, storage, shipping, bunkering, trading, and financial services. These efforts will support Hong Kong in building a leading green maritime fuel bunkering and trading centre in the Asia-Pacific region, contributing to the national “Dual Carbon” goals, Hong Kong’s carbon neutrality, and the global low-carbon transformation of the shipping industry.PhotosCaption Photo 1Bunkering process of CM HONG KONG Photo 2Bunkering process of CM HONG KONGPhoto 3 Bunkering of the world's first methanol dual-fuel roll-on/roll-off vessel CM HONG KONG in Hong KongPhoto 4Group Photo of All Guests at the Hong Kong’s First Green Methanol Bunkering CeremonyPhoto 5Group Photo of the Kickoff Ceremony at the Hong Kong’s First Green Methanol Bunkering Ceremony Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Self-Developed INHBE-Targeting siRNA Drug Received IND Approval for Overweight/Obesity ACN Newswire

CMS (867.HK/8A8.SG): Self-Developed INHBE-Targeting siRNA Drug Received IND Approval for Overweight/Obesity

03/05/2026
SHENZHEN, CHINA, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that self-developed innovative drug INHBE-targeting small nucleic acid drug CMS-D008 injection (“CMS-D008”) received the Drug Clinical Trial Approval Notice issued by National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) on 4 March 2026. The NMPA has approved the conduct of clinical trials of CMS-D008 injection for overweight or obese individuals.About CMS-D008CMS-D008 is a novel siRNA therapy administered by subcutaneous injection. CMS-D008 targets and reduces the hepatic expression of the inhibin subunit beta E (INHBE) gene and lowers the level of Activin E protein encoded by INHBE, which blocks Activin E-ALK7 signaling and reduces fat accumulation effectively. Preclinical studies suggested that CMS-D008 efficiently and sustainably suppressed INHBE expression. In the diet-induced obesity model, CMS-D008 enhanced weight loss by reducing fat mass while retaining lean mass with a good safety profile. It demonstrates potentially better prospects for high-quality, long-term weight loss that boosts fat-specific loss while preserving muscle mass. In the future, it may be developed for the treatment of overweight/obesity, abdominal obesity, and related metabolic diseases.Fat Loss, muscle preserved: a potentially better therapeutic option for overweight/obesity Overweight or obesity is a chronic, progressive, relapsing disease characterized by excessive accumulation or abnormal distribution or function of body fat[1]. World Obesity Atlas 2025 Report projected that the global proportion of overweight and obese adults will rise to 50%, with nearly 3 billion adults impacted by high body mass index (BMI), and the population of adults who are overweight or obese in China is projected to reach 515 million by 2030[2]. Existing GLP-1RAs have been proven to be effective for the treatment of overweight and obesity. The main actions of GLP-1RAs are to suppress appetite by acting on the central nervous system and to delay gastric emptying[3]. INHBE’s novel mechanism of action differs from GLP-1RAs. INHBE is identified through genome-wide association studies. Populations with loss of function in INHBE are associated with favorable fat distribution and beneficial metabolic characteristics[4]. Targeted inhibition of INHBE might be more conducive for long-term weight management at the genetic level with precisely lower visceral fat and favorable metabolic profiles.CMS-D008 teams up with CMS-D005: highly effective weight loss plus long-term maintenance, building a more comprehensive weight-loss solutionCMS-D008 will synergize with CMS-D005, a self-developed innovative drug currently in clinical development.

深圳, 2026年3月5日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 康哲藥業控股有限公司（「康哲藥業」）欣然宣佈，其自主研發的創新藥INHBE小核酸藥物CMS-D008注射液（「CMS-D008」）於2026年3月4日獲得中國國家藥品監督管理局（「NMPA」）簽發的藥物臨床試驗批准通知書。NMPA同意開展CMS-D008注射液用於超重或肥胖的臨床試驗。關於CMS-D008CMS-D008是一款皮下注射的siRNA藥物，靶向抑制肝臟的抑制素亞基βE（INHBE）基因表達，下調INHBE編碼蛋白激活素E（Activin E）水平，從而降低脂肪代謝通路Activin E-ALK7的活化，有效減少脂質堆積。臨床前研究提示CMS-D008高效持續抑制INHBE表達，肥胖動物模型中，在不影響肌肉的情況下，獲得明顯的減重減脂效果，且安全性良好；顯示減脂不減肌，長期高質量減重的良好前景。未來可開發治療超重/肥胖，腹型肥胖以及相關代謝性疾病。減脂不減肌，超重/肥胖的潛在更優治療方案超重或肥胖是一種脂肪組織過度積累或分布、功能異常的慢性、進行性、複發性疾病[1]。根據《2025年世界肥胖報告》，預測到2030年，全球超重和肥胖成年人的比例會上升到50%，將有近30億成年人受到高體重指數（BMI）的影響，我國成人超重/肥胖人數將達到5.15億[2]。現有的GLP-1RA類藥物顯示了很好的減重效果，該類藥物主要通過作用於中樞神經系統抑制食欲，延緩胃排空來降低體重[3]，而INHBE不同於GLP-1類藥物的作用機制，是從全基因組關聯分析篩選獲得，INHBE功能喪失的人群擁有良好的體脂分布和有利的代謝特征[4]，靶向抑制INHBE可以從基因水平精准減少內臟脂肪，改善代謝狀態，更有利於長期體重管理。 CMS-D008攜手CMS-D005：高效減重與長期維持聯合發力，構建更全面減重方案CMS-D008將與正處於臨床開發階段的自研創新藥CMS-D005形成協同，CMS-D008通過精准抑制INHBE基因表達，減脂不減肌；而CMS-D005作為GLP-1R/GCGR雙重激動劑，可在減重同時，強效降低肝臟脂肪，二者協同實現高效的減重獲益與長期的成果維持，共同增強康哲藥業在肥胖/代謝治療領域的研發實力與產品競爭力，並依託其在心血管代謝疾病領域成熟的網絡資源，加速藥物的研發與商業化進程，為患者提供更全面、創新的治療方案。康哲藥業正積極準備開展相關臨床試驗工作，力爭該產品儘快上市。關於康哲藥業康哲藥業是一家鏈接醫藥創新與商業化，把控產品全生命週期管理的開放式平臺型企業，致力於提供有競爭力的產品和服務，滿足尚未滿足的醫療需求。康哲藥業專注於全球首創（FIC）及同類最優（BIC）的創新產品，並高效推進創新產品臨床研究開發和商業化進程，賦能科研成果向診療實踐的持續轉化，造福患者。康哲藥業聚焦專科領域，擁有被驗證的商業化能力，廣泛的渠道覆蓋和多疾病領域專家資源，核心在售產品已獲領先的學術與市場地位。康哲藥業圍繞優勢專科領域不斷縱深發展，以鞏固心腎代謝/消化/眼科/皮膚健康業務競爭力，帶來專科規模效率，其中皮膚健康業務（德鎂醫藥）已成為其細分領域的龍頭企業，並擬於聯交所獨立上市。同時，康哲藥業持續推動研產銷全產業鏈在東南亞及中東區域運營發展，以獲取新興市場的增量，助力集團實現高質量可持續發展。參考文獻/資料1.中華醫學會內分泌學分會.肥胖患者的長期體重管理及藥物臨床應用指南(2024版).中華內分泌代謝雜誌,2024,40(7):545-564.2.世界肥胖聯盟. 《2025 年世界肥胖報告》[EB/OL]. 倫敦：世界肥胖聯盟，2025. https://data.worldobesity.org/publications/?cat=233.Zhikai Zheng, Yao Zong, Yiyang Ma, Yucheng Tian, Yidan Pang, Changqing Zhang, Junjie Gao.

Core Concepts Physiotherapy Partners with Podiatry Quest to Deliver Enhanced Assessments for Patients with Plantar Fasciitis ACN Newswire

Core Concepts Physiotherapy Partners with Podiatry Quest to Deliver Enhanced Assessments for Patients with Plantar Fasciitis

03/04/2026
SINGAPORE, Mar 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Core Concepts Physio, one of Singapore's leading physiotherapy providers, has announced an expanded collaborative programme with podiatry service provider, Podiatry Quest, to offer enhanced, multidisciplinary assessments for patients experiencing plantar fasciitis and stubborn heel pain.Plantar fasciitis remains one of the most common and persistent causes of heel pain among adults, especially those with active lifestyles or occupations involving long hours on their feet. Often treatment seeks to address only one aspect of the condition rather than the full movement chain, which leads to recurring pain as other aspects remain unresolved.To bridge this gap, the two clinics have formalised a joint assessment pathway that evaluates plantar fasciitis from both the top-down (physiotherapy) and the bottom-up (podiatry) so as to ensure that no contributing factor is overlooked.A Smarter, More Complete Way to Diagnose Heel PainPhysiotherapy and podiatry traditionally manage different elements of plantar fasciitis. Physiotherapists focus on mobility, strength, gait and load tolerance, while podiatrists address foot posture, footwear, ground forces and orthotic support.The new integrated pathway combines both perspectives into a single, coordinated evaluation which results in:More accurate, holistic diagnosesFully optimised treatment strategiesFewer flare-ups and recurrencesClearer, consistent guidance for patientsFaster and more sustainable outcomes"Many patients struggle because plantar fasciitis isn't caused by just one issue," said Mr Chng Chye Tuan, Senior Principal Physiotherapist at Core Concepts Physiotherapy. "It's a movement chain problem involving the foot, calf, ankle mobility, daily load and footwear. When physiotherapists and podiatrists work together, we address every contributing factor — not just the symptoms."A Case Study Demonstrating Collaborative SuccessIn a recent case, a 42-year-old recreational runner sought help after six months of persistent heel pain. Physiotherapy improved his morning pain and running tolerance, but he continued to experience flare-ups following long work shifts.A podiatry assessment revealed prolonged pronation, footwear-related loading issues and inadequate shock absorption. With customised orthoses and tailored footwear recommendations, the patient's daily load decreased significantly — allowing physiotherapy progress to continue without setbacks.Within 10 weeks of coordinated care, he achieved pain-free mornings, comfortable workdays and full return to running."This case reflects what we see frequently," said Mr Yeo Boon Kiak, Principal Podiatrist at Podiatry Quest. "Physiotherapy builds tissue capacity, strength and movement control. Podiatry reduces unnecessary strain and optimises how forces enter the foot. When combined, this creates the ideal environment for long-lasting recovery."Making Multidisciplinary Care Accessible NationwideThrough this collaboration, patients with plantar fasciitis now benefit from:Joint physiotherapy–podiatry assessmentsAligned clinical decision-makingConsistent communication across providersA thorough evaluation of both the cause and consequence of heel painA fully optimised recovery pathway"Our multidisciplinary team brings together the best of both professions," said Mr Chng Chye Tuan. "Whether someone is a runner, a frequent traveller or stands long hours at work, this collaboration ensures their care is comprehensive, precise and built around their real-life demands."About Core Concepts PhysiotherapyCore Concepts Physio is one of Singapore's largest private physiotherapy groups, offering evidence-based musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy across multiple clinic locations.

TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES 成功開發出世界首創在100度左右具有較高的氫氣過濾性能之高性能濾氫鈀膜

03/04/2026
東京, 2026年3月5日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 以TANAKA的產業用貴金屬展開事業的TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd.（總公司：東京都中央區，執行總裁：田中 浩一朗）宣布成功開發出可於100℃左右的低溫範圍內使用的濾氫鈀（Pd）合金膜「HPM-L111」。本產品是世界首創※１，在100℃左右的低溫範圍內具有較高的氫氣過濾性能的金屬膜。樣品將於2026年3月5日（四）以後開始提供。關於數量，最多每月可提供約100片。本產品將在2026年3月11日（三）至13日（五）於千葉工業大學舉行的公益社團法人日本金屬學會「2026年春季（第178屆）演講大會」的會議上進行發表。另外，將在2026年3月17日（二）至19日（四）於東京國際展覽中心舉行的「H2 ＆ FC EXPO 氫能與燃料電池展」，進行產品及展示板的展示。濾氫鈀（Pd）膜「HPM-L111」濾氫鈀膜是將具有吸儲和過濾氫氣特性的鈀合金加以薄膜化的產品，用於分離和純化高純度氫氣。一般來說，要以金屬膜實現過濾氫氣，需要在高溫（300℃以上）下進行。這次，TANAKA透過對膜表面進行特殊處理，成功開發出即使在100℃以下的低溫範圍內也能發揮出較高的氫氣過濾性能的金屬膜。利用金屬膜進行氫氣純化的課題及「HPM-L111」的研發背景以往產品的「PdCu40」（鈀含有率60％，銅含有率40％的合金）在PdCu系合金膜中具有最高水準的氫氣過濾性能。不過，要發揮原本具有的性能，需要在400℃左右的高溫範圍內使用，額外追加的加熱設備等所增加的成本成為多年來的課題。近年來，隨著氫氣相關技術的發展，在100°C以下的低溫範圍內透過金屬膜進行濾氫的需求日益增長。另一方面，由於金屬膜通常在200℃以下時氫氣從表面向內部滲透的速率會減慢，導致以往金屬膜的氫氣過濾性能顯著下降，在實際應用上帶來了課題。為了解決這些課題，「HPM-L111」採用了TANAKA多年來在貴金屬材料研發所累積的獨家表面處理技術。透過在膜表面形成細微的凹凸結構，並擴增比表面積，提高氫氣的滲透速率，實現了在100℃以下的低溫範圍內氫氣過濾性能的大幅提升。「HPM-L111」的特色在100℃左右的低溫範圍內發揮較高的氫氣過濾性能世界首創可在100℃左右的低溫範圍內進行高純度氫氣純化的金屬膜可望有助於氫氣感測器的高精度化可高速去除機器內部所產生的氫氣以往產品「PdCu40」的剖面圖「HPM-L111」的剖面圖 品名厚度寬度長度建議溫度預計用途HPM-H310（PdCu40）>10μm

兩會焦點：腦機接口破圈！從「腦器交互」到產業落地 產學研共啟萬億新賽道

03/04/2026
香港, 2026年3月4日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在 2026 年全國兩會上，腦機接口不再是局限於實驗室的 「前沿黑科技」，而是以多份精准提案、建議躋身參政議政核心視野，成為銜接國家戰略佈局、臨床實際需求與產業創新發展的重要議題。從前瞻性政策引導到臨床落地探索，從「腦機接口」技術深耕到「腦器交互」理念升級，代表委員們的深度思考與務實建議，正勾勒出我國腦機接口領域從技術突破向產業成熟邁進的清晰路徑，彰顯出這一前沿賽道從「概念熱詞」向「行業實景」轉型的堅實步伐。理念升級賦能：從「腦機接口」到「腦器交互」的系統突破全國人大代表、電子科技大學中古腦器交互實驗室主任堯德中，從技術理念層面為行業發展提供全新視角 - 從「腦機接口」延伸至「腦器交互」，將大腦置於「腦 - 體 - 環境」整體系統中重新審視。當前公眾對腦機接口的認知，多局限於「一根電極、一個芯片」的單點突破，卻忽略大腦與身體器官、外部環境的深度關聯。堯德中強調，「腦器交互」並非否定腦機接口，而是將視野從單一的大腦信號讀取，拓展至心率、內分泌、睡眠節律、情緒狀態及外部刺激等多維度因素，破解傳統「頭痛醫頭」的還原論局限，契合東方系統思維的整體觀。這一理念升級對技術提出更高要求：腦電信號不僅要「採得上來」，更要「採得細、採得穩、採得夠久」，才能為人體系統狀態判斷與干預提供精准依據。與此同時，如何以最小創傷、最安全方式將電極、導線、芯片送達目標神經區域，成為支撐「腦器交互」落地的關鍵技術瓶頸，也讓微創介入、精准植入等相關技術研發價值愈發凸顯。堯德中表示，「腦器交互」旨在推動我國腦機接口領域走出差異化發展賽道，將中國醫學智慧轉化為信息時代新範式，既服務重大腦疾病干預與康復，也為產業創新拓展更廣闊空間。臨床導向破局：從實驗室成果到民生實用工具「腦機接口的價值，終究要落到臨床應用、惠及患者身上。」全國政協委員、中國科學院院士、浙江大學醫學院附屬第二醫院院長王建安，在今年兩會上帶來《前瞻佈局腦機接口醫療器械產業，攻克核心技術並構建倫理安全屏障》的提案，將焦點鎖定技術落地「最後一公里」，打破「重研發、輕轉化」的行業困境。作為深耕臨床一線的專家，王建安深刻意識到，腦機接口涉及侵入式操作與高敏感腦數據處理，兼具技術創新性與安全風險性，需在鼓勵探索與守住底線之間找到平衡。他建議國家在科研環節建立清晰准入機制，優先扶持具備神經科學、工程技術、倫理管理與臨床資源的綜合性機構，讓技術探索在規範化、可控化框架內推進，從源頭規避安全隱患與倫理風險。針對當前行業普遍存在的「論文成果多、臨床落地難」痛點，王建安進一步提出探索「准臨床」機制：在充分論證與嚴格監管前提下，選取條件成熟單位，以可追溯、有限範圍方式服務真實患者，允許適度收費，通過真實世界數據反哺技術迭代與行業規範制定，推動腦機接口從實驗台、論文頁真正走進病房，成為幫助神經疾病患者恢復功能、提升生活質量的「新工具」。而這一落地過程，始終離不開上游核心器械的支撐。能實現長期植入、穩定採集信號且兼具安全性的硬件平台，是所有腦機接口臨床應用與技術拓展的基礎前提，也是產業發展不可忽視的核心環節。上游發力：隱形力量築牢產業發展底座當「腦機接口」「腦器交互」成為公眾熱議焦點，行業討論多集中於算法優化、應用場景拓展等顯性領域，而在臨床實踐與產業發展背後，上游核心器械企業的默默耕耘，正為整個賽道搭建堅實「隱形底座」。腦機接口的臨床應用效果，直接取決於上游器械性能：柔性高通量電極陣列能否在不損傷神經組織前提下精准靠近目標神經區域；低功耗芯片能否在極小體積內完成信號採集與初步處理；微創或介入式植入路徑能否降低手術創傷與長期併發症風險…… 這些基礎技術細節，直接決定腦電信號讀寫「清晰度」與設備長期使用「耐久度」。近年來，一批長期深耕神經介入、微創腦外科領域的企業，開始將既有技術積累向腦機接口方向延伸，成為上游產業核心力量。2025年11月，微創腦科學在上海成立「混沌腦機研究院」，依託其在神經血管介入、深部腦刺激等領域的成熟技術平台，聚焦更適合長期植入的柔性電極及封裝工藝、集成信號採集與刺激的微型化系統，以及適配臨床場景的手術路徑與隨訪方案，開展前瞻性研究與技術儲備。這類企業佈局少有高調宣傳，卻以扎實技術積累為腦機接口臨床落地提供可靠支撐。當高位截癱患者通過腦機接口系統操控輪椅自主移動、神經疾病患者在康復訓練中重新完成精細動作時，背後都離不開這些上游器械企業的默默賦能。人才築基長遠：醫工融合培育產業核心力量技術突破與產業落地，終究離不開人才支撐。全國政協委員、天津大學副校長明東長期深耕腦機接口科研一線，他在兩會期間提出的建議，將目光投向行業長遠發展的「人才梯隊建設」，為腦機接口產業可持續發展「備課」。明東指出，腦機接口是典型交叉學科領域，一端連接神經科學、臨床醫學等生命科學，另一端銜接電子信息、材料科學、算法工程等工科，對人才跨學科素養要求極高。當前傳統按院系、按學科「各自為戰」的培養模式，難以滿足行業對複合型人才的需求，成為制約產業高質量發展的重要因素。為此，他建議在高校中加快構建腦機接口相關交叉學科培養體系，從本科階段推動醫學、工科、信息科學基礎訓練貫通融合，同時搭建實驗室與企業聯合實踐平台，讓學生在真實科研項目與產業場景中積累經驗、提升能力，為未來十年、二十年產業發展，預先儲備一支「懂醫學、通工程、善創新」的複合型人才隊伍。在業內人士看來，這支人才梯隊既是臨床落地的執行者、「腦器交互」理念的踐行者，更是打通產學研壁壘、推動技術從創新到應用的核心橋樑。資本賦能致遠：萬億賽道啟新程 戰略佈局謀長遠2026年全國兩會對腦機接口的高度關注，進一步激活市場活力與資本熱情，推動這一前沿賽道從技術探索期加速邁向產業爆發期。市場規模持續擴容，充分印證產業潛力：根據全球知名市場研究機構麥肯錫預測，全球腦機接口醫療應用市場規模有望在2030年達到400億美元，2040年達到1450億美元（約合萬億人民幣）。資本佈局進一步彰顯行業價值，國內外融資動作頻繁。國際上，馬斯克旗下Neuralink完成6.5億美元E輪融資，估值躍升至90億美元，所融資金將加速全球臨床試驗與產品研發；國內，「杭州六小龍」之一的強腦科技完成約20億元融資，規模居全球第二，且已以保密形式提交港股IPO申請，標誌著我國相關企業邁入資本化、規模化新階段。目前，「政策+技術+臨床+資本+人才」的良好生態已初步成型。未來，隨著「腦器交互」理念踐行、核心技術突破及產學研用融合，我國腦機接口產業將穩步推進產業化，破解民生醫療痛點，在全球前沿賽道夯實優勢，以技術創新助力健康中國建設。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
