Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have precisely measured for the first time the mass of an extremely short-lived and neutron-deficient nucleus, silicon-22, revealing that the proton number 14 in silicon-22 is a new magic number.
Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences confirmed that the fully stripped heavy ion-atom collision is an effective way to produce heavy hollow atoms in high yield. They have also developed a high-resolution planar crystal spectrometer to measure the fine structure of inner-shell multi-ionization ion X-rays.
Prof. YAO Baoli from the Xi’an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Olivier J. F. Martin from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne developed the optical tweezer sectioning microscopy, enabling all-optical 3D imaging of suspended live cells, which offers a powerful new tool for in live-cell imaging, dynamic biological studies and multicellular assembly.
Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory have made significant progress in in understanding how three-dimensional layered structures form within open star clusters. Using N-body simulations and analyzing 279 nearby open clusters in the solar neighborhood, the researchers identified a strong correlation between the number of member stars and the presence of spatial stratification.
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE, also known as “Wukong”) Collaboration has obtained a high-precision cosmic-ray boron spectrum in the energy range of 10 GeV/n–8 TeV/n, and discovered a spectral "hardening" phenomenon around 182 GeV/n for the first time.
A research team led by Dr. SHEN Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory has investigated rapid spatiotemporal vertical electric currents during an X-class flare. The findings were based on high-cadence magnetograms and extreme ultraviolet observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory of NASA.
