Chinese scientists have set a new world record of achieving a plasma temperature of 120 million degrees Celsius for 101 seconds in the latest experiment on Friday, a key step toward the test running of a fusion reactor. The breakthrough was announced by Gong Xianzu, a researcher at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (ASIPP), who is in charge of the experiment conducted in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province.
Recently，a research group led by CHU Yannan and HUANG Chaoqun, from Institute of Health & Medical Technology, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), successfully developed an effective method for on-site detection of methamphetamine using pyridine as a dopant by ion mobility spectrometry. The relevant results were published in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry.
Recently, a research team led by YU Jie and CHEN Zhibin, Institute of Nuclear Safety Technology, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), has made a new progress in researching physical properties of working fluids in space reactor nuclear power generation system.
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. Here we have FANG Ming from The High Magnetic Field Laboratory (CHMFL), HFIPS to tell us more... This is the third of an every-two-day series in two weeks.
Recently, scientists from Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) utilized valence engineering to develop three manganese oxides as electrodes with different Mn valences for high-performance capacitive desalination. Reverse osmosis and thermal distillation are widely used to treat salt water with high salt concentration, but limited by high energy consumption and high cost.
