A team of researchers led by Prof. SHAO Dingfu from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. XIAO Ruichun and Prof. LI Hui from Anhui University, have identified a unique phenomenon, known as the "skin effect," in the nonlinear optical responses of antiferromagnetic materials.
The Low Energy high intensity heavy ion Accelerator Facility (LEAF), independently developed by the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), passed the expert panel acceptance inspection organized by the National Natural Science Foundation of China on December 9.
Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with their collaborators, have achieved the first precise mass measurements of several exotic atomic nuclei. Using this mass data, they have determined the proton dripline for the elements aluminum, phosphorus, sulfur, and argon, and have proposed a new approach to uncovering proton halo structures.
Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered an interesting way bacteria adapt to their environment. Their study, published in Microbiological Research, reveals that bacteria can evolve by losing their flagella, the structures responsible for movement.
Recently, a research team led by Professor YU Zhiwu from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a new type of carbon nitride catalyst, T-0.9ODHCN, by combining two advanced techniques: supramolecular self-assembly and defect engineering. This catalyst, which has nitrogen (N) vacancies and unique electronic properties, performs over 30 times better in photocatalytic hydrogen production compared to traditional carbon nitride.
Researchers discovered evidence of in situ spheroid formation in distant starburst galaxies. Their findings were based on analysis of data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submilllimeter Array (ALMA) on over 100 Submillimeter Bright Galaxies (SMGs). The SMGs featured redshifts from the “Cosmic noon” era of the Universe—between 8–12 billion years ago—when many galaxies were actively forming stars.
