Recently, a research team led by Prof. MENG Guowen from Hefei Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with Prof. WEN Liaoyong from Westlake University, developed a universal surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on a noble metal "Slot-under-Groove nanoarray". The SERS substrate enables high-sensitivity and rapid detection of various small molecules and large biomolecules with different sizes.
A research team led by Prof. TIAN Xingyou and Prof. ZHANG Xian from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) have utilized liquid metal to construct Liquid metal/Polyimide/Polytetrafluoroethylene (LM/PI/PTFE) programmable photothermal actuators based on asymmetric thermal expansion.
In a study published in Nature, researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have proposed a new and promising method of fabricating homogenized perovskite films for solar cells. The process involves inhibiting phase segregation caused by internal cation inhomogeneity to increase conversion efficiency to 26.1%, thus tying the existing record.
