A recent breakthrough in photothermal actuator design has been achieved by a research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Prof. TIAN Xingyou and Prof. ZHANG Xian. The team developed a novel superstructure liquid metal/low expansion polyimide/polydimethylsiloxane (LM@PI/PDMS) actuator, which combines rapid movement with impressive load-carrying capacity—an achievement that has eluded previous actuator designs.
A recent collaborative study, published in Nature, introduces an innovative approach to improving energy storage in antiferroelectric materials. The research team, including researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University, Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory, and the University of Wollongong, has proposed antipolar frustration strategy to enhance the performance of dielectric capacitors, which are crucial for high-power devices requiring fast charge and discharge rates.
HEFEI, JAN. 20 --The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), often referred to as China's "artificial sun," achieved a significant scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for a remarkable 1,066 seconds on Wednesday. This accomplishment sets a new world record and represents a notable breakthrough in the pursuit of fusion power generation.
A linear plasma generator developed by China has reached its design specifications, making China the second country in the world, after the Netherlands, to develop such a high-flux plasma generator. The Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences announced this achievement on Tuesday.
A research team led by Prof. CHU Yannan from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a multi-medium approach (MMA) to identify reproducible volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in lung cancer cells.
