The Spectral Imaging CoronaGraph obtained its first coronal image on October 25, 2023, marking the completion of China's first independently developed normalized operational ground-based coronagraph.

Prof. JIANG Bin's research team at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) developed a universal field-induced recursively embedded atom neural network (FIREANN) model, which can accurately simulate system-field interactions with high efficiency.

Researchers from Yunnan Observatories have demonstrated the evolution of separated strands within the apparent single coronal loops observed in Atmospheric Imaging Assembly images.

An international research group has recently acquired new evidence related to this system by observing signals arising directly from the smaller (secondary) black hole. Using this evidence, the researchers claim they are able to "see" the secondary black hole for the first time by using measurements of polarized light coming from OJ 287.

In a study published in Nature Communications, a research group led by Prof. LI Dabing and Prof. LI Shaojuan from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics proposed and experimentally demonstrated the presence of broadband, low-loss, giant in-plane birefringence in a biaxial van der Waals materials Ta2NiS5, spanning an ultrawide-band from visible to mid-infrared wavelengths.

A research team led by Prof. WANG Mingtai from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science has proposed an interesting approach to improve the efficiency of solar cells. Their focus on the potential antimony trisulfide as a photovoltaic absorber has led to a Parallel Planar Heterojunction strategy for fabricating highly efficient solar cells.

Chinese researchers have developed the process of producing the medical isotope molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) using the electron accelerator system.

Researchers from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science and University of Science and Technology of China, and the collaborators, induced a room-temperature magnetic phase transition from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism by intercalating protons into van der Waals ferromagnet Cr_1.2Te₂ nanoflakes.
