Recently, Professor YANG Xiaoping's research group at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered a tunable and controllable monoatomic layer two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) localized at the heterointerface.
Recently, Prof. GAO Xiaoming’s team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a novel photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS)-based sensor that enabled simultaneous, highly sensitive detection of CO2, CH4, and N2O, with improved long-term measurement accuracy.
In a recent review published in Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, a research team led by Associated Prof. WANG Peng from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Dr Rodrigo Ledesma-Amaro from Imperial College London, provided a comprehensive overview of ethanol as a renewable carbon source for producing various high-value products, offering new perspectives for the development of eco-friendly industrial biotechnology processes.
Nitrite (NO₂⁻) is commonly used as a food additive, but when ingested, it can harm the body's oxygen transport system. The World Health Organization (WHO) limits NO₂⁻ to 1.0 mg/L in drinking water and 30 mg/kg in meat products. However, current nitrite detection methods are often complicated, expensive, visually imprecise, or time-consuming.
Recently, Prof. HUANG Qing’group from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied the new functions of ganoderic acids. They discovered that a compound called ganoderic acid A (GAA) could help fight cancer by targeting glucose transporters, proteins that cancer cells use to take in sugar.
