Recently, a research team led by associate Prof. XU Zhenyu from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences suggested a new method to detect atmospheric greenhouse gas column with high-resolution laser heterodyne spectroscopy.
Light, electric field, alternating magnetic field, and pH have been used as triggers to boost the release of pesticide, among which the pH-responsive type attracts broad interest due to simple operation and low cost. Albeit this, most of pH-controlled pesticides exhibit monotonic response to acid or alkali, and thus the large-scale application is limited, since pH of water for agricultural spraying may vary between weakly acidic and weakly alkaline among places. To meet this challenge, it is strategic to devise acid/alkali dual pH-responsive controlled-release pesticides that are flexible in multiple application situations.
Recently, the research team led by associate Prof. GE Daochuan from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) reported their new findings in the field of risk assessment methods and applications of spent fuel transportation.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. JIANG Liwei from the Institute of Health and Medical Technology, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), collaborated with Professor Reza Abdi from Harvard Medical School in the United States, made another new progress in the field of structure and function of stromal cells in lymph nodes.
Van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets are the building blocks of vdW heterostructure devices such as vdW ferromagnetic (FM)-antiferromagnetic (AFM) heterostructure, vdW FM-ferroelectric heterostructure. Those vdW heterostructure devices have attracted a lot of attention due to their promising applications in modern spintronics. However, the interface coupling of vdW heterostructure is weak due to the large vdW gap, which impedes the development of this burgeoning area. How to electrically tune the interface coupling in vdW heterostructure device remains elusive.
