Recently, researchers led by Prof. XU An from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) reported their new findings that silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) at non-toxic concentrations protect against arsenic induced genotoxicity via attenuating arsenic bioaccumulation and elevating anti-oxidation in mammalian cells.
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.
