Researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Key Laboratory of Odor Pollution Control of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and Shenzhen Technology University, have developed a gas sensor that can detect tiny amounts of dimethyl sulfide in human breath, even in the presence of interfering gases and high humidity.
Researchers using the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with collaborators from Anhui Medical University, the University of Science and Technology of China, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and other institutions, have found that zinc doping changes the superconducting properties of iron selenide (FeSe) in an unexpected way while preserving its two-gap superconducting state.
A research team led by Prof. ZHU Hui at the Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed two methods to improve enhance reconstruction fidelity, helping robots build more accurate representations of their surroundings. One method combines LiDAR and camera data to reconstruct complex driving scenes, while the other uses geometric features to improve localization and mapping.
A research team led by ZHANG Zhirong at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a CO2 sensor that combines high sensitivity with a wider measurement range.
A research team led by Prof. WANG Hui, in collaboration with Prof. ZHENG Fangcai from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a new way to improve sodium–sulfur battery performance by changing the atomic structure of a catalyst.
