Novel ways were found to enhance the stability of diamane synthesized by high-pressure method, according to a research team led by Prof. WANG Xianlong from Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Small nuclear reactors have a good application prospect in marine power, regional power supply, seawater desalination and other fields. The lead-cooled fast reactor with lead-bismuth eutectic alloy (LBE) as the main coolant has unique advantages in miniaturization: compact core, high nuclear heat transfer efficiency and simple auxiliary system. However, homogeneous oxidation corrosion or dissolution corrosion may occur in steel materials, and LBE infiltration and pitting corrosion may also occur in local areas, due to the high solubility of Fe, Cr and Ni in LBE at high temperature. Pitting corrosion is one of the most destructive corrosion forms, which will seriously affect the long-term safe service of small lead-cooled fast reactor.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. WANG Junfeng from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, developed a new 1D 19F NMR-based method for rapid detection of Arf6 guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity.
Recently, a joint team from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has made new progress in the research of "radiotherapy brain". the related results were published in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Recently, scientists from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) utilized a novel Archimedes spiral flow channel to develop flow-electrode capacitive desalination for seawater desalination.
