A huge plume of ash, steam and gas rising up high from the underwater near Tonga has captured attention around the world on January 14 just two weeks later from the beginning of 2022. The communication to the outer world has been cut off immediately after the volcano eruption, the devastating explosion was still captured by the satellite orbiting the earth. The explosion may not be the one impacting the planet the most, “but to witness it with the modern array of instruments we have is truly unprecedented”, just as Lori Dengler said, an emeritus professor of geophysics at Humboldt State University in California.
Smart Machining Systems: Modelling, Monitoring and Informatics, an English monograph written by Professor ZHU Kunpeng from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS),was published in January, 2022 by Springer.
In 2014, a theory showed that the electronic structure of iron-based superconductor has topological properties due to the multi-orbit characteristics under certain conditions, which is similar to the case in topological insulator. Science then, the subsequent theoretical and experimental studies on topological matter in iron-based superconductors have progressed rapidly. Recently, new progresses have been achieved in measuring the response of the topological defects (single iron impurity, linear defects and magnetic flux vortices)
A group of scientists from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed novel p-type near-infrared (NIR) Transparent Conducting (TC) CuRhO2 thin films with ultrahigh conductivity, unveiling a new material of TC.
Recently, Wu Zhengyan and Zhang Jia's team, from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Professor CAI Dongqing in Donghua University, developed a promising remedy for the rapid and efficient removal of Cd(II) in water, which is a step forward in heavy metal pollution remediation.
