China and Russia jointly built China-Russia Research Center for Atmospheric Optics in 2019 aiming at the laser radar atmospheric detection. The two sides made efforts to build an international first-class and full-height lidar atmospheric detection facility with an independent largescale telescope, which are able to achieve comprehensive high-resolution three-dimensional detection for atmospheric aerosol, atmospheric turbulence and meteorological parameters.
The Directional Polarimetric Camera（DPC）, made by a research team from Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), passed test recently and will be loaded on CM-1, a kind of Carbon dioxide monitoring satellite.
Recently, a research group led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, made a progress in the research of biological protein template regulating the growth of nanocrystals and then performed some applications.
A team led by Prof. WU Zhengyan from Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science developed a high-efficiency Z-scheme photocatalyst to deal with contaminants in water.
A research team including XU Wan, LIU Xiao-Di and Eugene from Hefei Institute of Solid-state Physics (ISSP), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) led the international collaboration consisting of the School of Physics, University of Edinburgh, UK and HPSTAR, Shanghai, China to study the spontaneous ionization of Ammonia hemihydrate (AHH) under compression. They discovered Ionic Phases of Ammonia-Rich Hydrate at High Densities and the results of this study were recently published in Physical Review Letters.
