Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is often used to get rid of chromium (VI), a heavy metal pollutant, as it has large specific surface area and high reducing activity. However, the effect in removing trace heavy metals appears to be modest and sensitive to environmental pH.
Recently, a research group led by Prof. ZHU Hui and Prof. YU Biao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed a data-driven hierarchical multi-scale mobility prediction model for unmanned ground vehicles to rapidly and accurately predict global mobility in large-scale off-road environments.
A recent study published in ACS Sensors highlights the development of a smart electronic nose (e-nose) by a research team led by Prof. MENG Gang from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The novel e-nose utilizes self-heating modulation strategy to accurately distinguish various kinds of target gas molecules within just 1 second.
Recently, a research group led by Prof. YANG Yong from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has made progress in the study of the effects of neighboring adsorbate and quantum tunneling on the diffusion of hydrogen on graphene surface.
Recently, Prof. Dr. YANG Yong from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) made important progress in the dynamics of quantum particles across double barriers, which opens a possible avenue for ultrahigh precision measurement based on atomic systems.
