Thrilling games was held in the past weeks on science island. Soccer, volleyball, tennis… Horray for researchers and students on science island in this competition season.
China has reached another landmark in its quest for a fusion reactor with the latest experiment on an "artificial sun" last Friday in Hefei, Anhui Province. The experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) broke the world record of achieving a plasma temperature of 120 million degree centigrade for 101 seconds.
Prof. HUANG Qing’s group from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science developed a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) gas sensor to detect aldehyde with high sensitivity and selectivity, which provided a new detection method for studying the adsorption of gas molecules on porous materials. The relevant research results have been published in Analytical Chemistry.
Recently, a research team led by Prof. ZHAO Bangchuan from the Institute of Solid Materials, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), synthesized 3D porous honeycomb-like CoN-Ni3N/N-C nanosheets and VN nanonbelt arrays via in-situ growth method, respectively, and successfully constructed a high-energy-density flexible supercapacitor device. The result has now been published in Advanced Functional Materials.
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. This time, we invited WANG Teng from ASIPP, HFIPS to tell us more...
