A collaborative research team led by Prof. HAO Ning from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Anhui University, and the University of Science and Technology of China has identified two distinct types of unusual low-energy quasiparticle states in the kagome superconductor CsV3Sb5 using single-atom impurities as local "quantum probes" combined with scanning tunnelling spectroscopy.
A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Jian at the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. XIAO Chong from the University of Science and Technology of China and Prof. ZHANG Yongsheng from Qufu Normal University, achieved a peak ZT value of 2.03 at 873 K in chalcopyrite-based thermoelectric materials using a novel dual antisite defect strategy.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. WANG Hongzhi from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a programmable plasmonic ring biosensor, MetaRing, capable of rapidly and accurately identifying paclitaxel sensitivity in breast cancer patients.
A research team led by JIANG Changlong from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a novel aptamer-mediated energy acceptor sensitization strategy.
Recently, a novel method termed Differential Photoacoustic Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (DPA-SRS) was developed by a research team led by FANG Yonghua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, offering a new solution to this long-standing challenge.
