Recently, a team led by Prof. Huang Qing at the Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) constructed a novel biosensor based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to detect inflammatory Interleukin-6 (IL-6) protein in serum samples.
Recently, researchers led by Prof. Hai-Shan Zhou from the Institute of Plasma Physics (ASIPP), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) reported their new findings about the influence of irradiation effects on hydrogen permeation through α-Al2O3 tritium permeation barrier (TPB). Tritium self-sufficiency is one of the most important issues in the development of nuclear fusion power. It is also one of the top priorities of the Chinese Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR).
The Directional Polarimetric Camera (DPC), developed by Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) and loaded on Gao Fen-5 Satellite, is a satellite sensor with the aim to observe the polarization and directionality of the earth’s reflectance. The multi-angle polarization information is helpful to obtain the spatial distribution of target radiation.
Recently, Prof. ZHENG Xiaohong’s research group in the Institute of Solid State Physics (ISSP), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS)， proposed a new and robust route to achieve pure spin current by photogalvanic effect with two-dimensional centrosymmetrical antiferromagnets. The research has been published in npj Quantum Information.
Histone acetylation is an important epigenetic modification. Histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) can increase acetylation level and inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells. Besides, ionizing radiation can take advantage of it to kill cancer cells. Thus investigation of the effects of epigenetic modifications on radiation sensitivity has been attracting much attention in the field of radiation biology.
