Terahertz (THz, 1011~1013 Hz) related technology, due to its superior spectral performance, possesses wide application potential in communication, security, sensing fields and so on. Its engineering applications highly depend on a variety of THz components.
In the official announcement of 2020 State Sci-Tech Awards earlier last week, Hefei Insitutes of Physical Sciences (HFIPS) was happy to know it as one of the winners in Technical Invention category.
Dr. Alain Bécoulet, a devoted scientist on fusion energy, won the 2020 China International Science and Technology Cooperation Award.
ITER, one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world today, had its the first correction coil BCC/4 lowered into place on Oct.21.
CMs (nonspherical clusters of a small number of particles) have potential applications in coatings, material self-assembly, biomedical diagnostics. The sphere has the smallest surface area under a certain volume, that is, the total Gibbs free energy of the surface is the lowest. Therefore, most nanoparticles exhibit spherical shape, leading to difficult preparation of non-spherical CMs.
