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.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. WANG Xianlong from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences systematically investigated the diffusion behavior of hydrogen in alumina (Al2O3) under high-pressure, providing a new perspective on the selection of hydrogen permeation barrier (HPB).
A research group led by Prof. YAO Baoli from Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics engineered an optical conveyor belt with a uniform orbital energy flow to extend single transport trajectory and to mitigate the risks of instability and interruption while transporting metal particles, thus enabling stable transport of particles along arbitrary trajectories.
