Air Lasing: A New Tool for Atmospheric Detection

“Ultrafast laser technologies provide new strategies for remote sensing of atmospheric pollutants and hazardous biochemical agents due to their unique advantages of high peak power, short pulse duration, and broad spectral coverage. Particularly, air lasing has become promising in atmospheric …

Researchers Develop Eminent Quantum Gate Testing Method

“The development of quantum technology is currently one of the most popular frontiers of advanced science, and is considered as a significant indicator of a country’s sci-tech level. On a structural basis, a quantum computer consists of multiple quantum …

FAST Detects Coherent Interstellar Magnetic Field with a Technique Conceived at Arecibo

“Magnetic fields are the essential, but often “secret” ingredients of the interstellar medium and the process of making stars. The secrecy shrouding interstellar magnetic fields can be attributed to the lack of experimental probes. While Michael Faraday was already probing …

47 Lunar Fragments Help Fill Gap of Two Billion Years in Lunar History

“China’s Chang’E-5 lunar sampling mission returned the first lunar samples since the Apollo and Luna missions, the last of which was in 1976. The 3.8 pounds of soil and rocks are the first fresh samples in 45 …

Over A Thousand Cosmic Explosions in 47 days Detected by FAST

“An international research team led by Prof. LI Di and Dr. WANG Pei from National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) caught an extreme episode of cosmic explosions from Fast Radio Burst (FRB) 121102, using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture …

Researchers Develop Turing Membrane to Improve Performance of Zinc-based Batteries

“Zinc-based batteries are promising options for energy storage devices owing to their low cost and high energy density. However, they may encounter serious dendrite issues, especially at high areal capacities and current densities. Recently, a research team led by Prof …

Researchers Realize Unconventional Coherent Control of Solid-state Spin Qubits

“The research team led by Prof. GUO Guangcan from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), together with Prof. Adam Gali from Wigner Research Centre for Physics, realized robust coherent control …

Researchers Develop Novel Raman Method to Capture Target Molecules in Small Gaps Actively

“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 …

Scientists Reveal Novel Double-roaming Mechanism in Chemical Reaction

“Roaming, a novel mechanism in reaction dynamics, describes an unusual pathway that is quite different from the conventional minimum-energy path. It is facilitated by the initial frustrated dissociation to form radical products, and then the meandering of the incipient radicals …

Chiral Lead-free Hybrid Perovskites Developed for Self-powered Circularly Polarized Light Detection

“The metal-halide perovskites feature the distinctive structure flexibility, which enables the employment of chiral organic cations to construct chiral perovskites. Such chiral perovskites are the promising alternative for circular polarized light (CPL) detection owing to their efficient charge transport of …
