CAS embraces its big scientific public outreach each May. They call it the CAS Science Week. It means at a certain weekend in May, every CAS institute launches its brand public outreach campaign in different ways to show and tell the public what is science and how science changes our lives. We have the volunteer team in HFIPS telling the story of science island. After interviewing ZHANG Suzhen last week, we invited WANG Hui from Division of Science Center & Research Infrastructure, HFIPS to tell us more...
Recently, a research group led by ZHU Qingjun, from Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), made new progress in the experimental research on tritium production of fusion blanket mock-up, and obtained the experimental data of tritium production rate.
The 17th CAS Science and Technology Week is underway, with the theme “To realize the rejuvenation of Chinese nation via science and technology,” demonstrating achievements of CAS in innovation, science and technology.
Recently, Professor YANG Liangbao, from the Institute of Health and Medical Technology, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), developed a general surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for actively capturing target molecules in small gaps based on nano-capillary pumping model. Relevant results were detailed in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The use of natural substances derived from traditional Chinese medicine and natural plants as safe radiosensitizing adjuvants is a new trend for cancer radiotherapy. Prof. HUANG Qing’s group from the Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) found ganoderic acid T, which was extracted from Ganoderma, a kind of fungi, could converting apoptosis to necroptosis, hence improve the radiosensitivity of HeLa cells.
