As the world celebrates 2024 International Women's Day, our spotlight shines on a pioneering research team at Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) focused on precision anti-tumor drugs. With women comprising over 60% of the team, they have made significant advancements in cell engineering technology and cancer drug discovery. To meet the unmet clinical needs, the team has established innovative strategies, developed a serious of novel anti-tumor drug candidates, and explored technologies for precision medicine.
A research team led by Prof. LU Qingyou from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences achieved a major breakthrough by creating a Magnetic Force Microscope (MFM) that can image air-sensitive materials without requiring surface protection coatings.
A team led by Prof. ZHENG Mingjie from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) recently reported accelerated design of low-activation high entropy alloys with desired phase and property by machine learning.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. LI Yue from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has introduced a self-confined solid-state dewetting mechanism. This innovation significantly reduces the reliance on complex nanofabrication techniques, paving the way for efficient wafer-scale patterning of non-closely packed (ncp) gold nanoparticle arrays. The results of this study have been published in Advanced Science.
Recently, the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), also known as the Chinese "artificial sun," started operation with over a hundred Chinese and foreign scientists conducting joint physics experiments on Science Island before China's Spring Festival. This is to demonstrate and address technical challenges for the international nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject ITER.
