Recently, Prof. JIANG Changlong's research team from the Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a highly sensitive ratiometric fluorescent probe. This probe uses porphyrin nanoparticles formed by a block copolymer as the sensing core to detect trivalent chromium (Cr3+) in the environment. The fluorescence color information captured can be converted into digital data and analyzed in real-time using a smartphone. As a result, the team developed two portable fluorescence sensing devices tailored for detecting Cr3+ in soil and water, addressing different environmental requirements.
Recently, Professor YANG Wulin's group from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, found a new disease marker that can be used to identify reactive mesothelial cells, which assisted in the diagnosis of mesothelioma and the screening of benign and malignant serous effusion.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. ZHANG Weijun at Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Sciences of Chinese Academy of Sciences, separately reacted the gas phase and particle phase of the aerosol with ozone and found that the particle phase has a greater impact on the formation of ultrafine particles.
Recently, the research team led by Prof. KONG Lingtao at Institute of Solid State Physics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed an innovative material for the efficient removal of fluoride ions from water. This newly developed material, a La-Mg LDH/Ti3C2TX adsorption membrane, leverages the nano confinement effect to enhance its performance.
A team led by Prof. LUO Guangnan from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences, has made an important discovery about how materials break down and mix on the surfaces inside the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST).
