In recent research, a group led by Prof. ZHANG Xin at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science combined the 9.4 T static magnetic field (SMF) with a commonly used anti-cancer drug imatinib mesylate on gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) bearing mice, and found that the 9.4 T SMF not only enhanced the anti-tumor effect of imatinib, but also reduced the drug side effects on tissues and organs. What's more, it reduced the mice depressive behaviors.
According to a recent study published on Analytical Chemistry, a novel focusing quadrupole ion funnel (FQ-IF) was proposed by researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
A team from Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a high-sensitivity differential Helmholtz photoacoustic cell and successfully applied it in methane detection.
With a reasonable and effective calculation method, physicists from Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully calculated the maximum allowable offset of simultaneous position and angle migration under the premise of extremely many variables.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. QIN Xiaoying from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences found the thermoelectric properties of N-type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3(BTS) could be improved by introducing a small amount of Ag9AlSe6 nanoparticles into BTS matrix.
