Researchers make series of progress in field of new energy

2025-01-23

As a new type of energy storage device, supercapacitors have the advantages of fast charging and discharging, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness, and are widely used in the field of energy storage and conversion. Electrochemical ammonia production technology is a green and sustainable method of ammonia synthesis, which is expected to replace the traditional Haber-Bosch process, providing a clean energy solution for the fertilizer industry. These three new energy technologies are of great significance in improving energy utilization efficiency, reducing environmental pollution, and promoting sustainable development.

Researchers unveil giant spin-splitting in room-temperature metallic antiferromagnet CrSb

2024-11-26

Unconventional antiferromagnets that enable the spin-splitting (SS) of electronic states have been theoretically proposed and experimentally realized, showcasing novel spin group symmetries that connect magnetic sublattices containing oppositely aligned moments. These material categories expand the choice of materials in the field of antiferromagnetic spintronics, subsequently holding potential for high-efficiency spintronic devices that are functional at room temperature.

Researchers provide new insights into pancreatic cancer signaling networks through advanced proteomics technology TMEPro

2024-11-15

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal cancers, with a five-year survival rate below 10% and a median survival time of less than six months. By 2024, PDAC has become the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. The lack of reliable early diagnostic biomarkers and tenacious resistance to almost all existing therapies are major causes of poor prognosis.

Researchers unveil mechanism controlling abrupt acceleration in India-Eurasia convergence and constrain timing of continental collision

2024-11-08

During the Late Mesozoic to Early Cenozoic (~65 Ma), the convergence rate between India and Eurasia abruptly increased from ~8 cm/yr to ~18 cm/yr. This dramatic change in plate motion, known as a plate reorganization event, remains an unresolved phenomenon in plate tectonic theory (Fig. 1c). Accompanying this puzzle is the significant, decades-long debate regarding the timing and process of India-Eurasia collision, which has greatly hindered our understanding of the most significant orogenic event since the Phanerozoic—the Tibetan-Himalayan orogeny—and its impact on the paleoclimate and paleoenvironment of Asia.

Researchers collaborate to reveal new mechanisms of glacier melting

2024-10-31

The ongoing rise in sea levels poses substantial social and economic challenges for coastal regions worldwide. Currently, the Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest single contributor to the rise of the global mean sea level over the past fifty years. If it were to melt completely, it could lead to a global sea level increase of approximately seven meters. Despite decades of research on the melting mechanisms of the Greenland Ice Sheet, the critical scientific question of how meltwater flows inside the ice sheet remains unresolved.

Researchers uncover buckle folding’s role in fold-thrust belt earthquakes and long-term deformation

2024-10-15

Active fold-thrust belts are located at the front of highly deformed orogenic regions, such as the Apennines, the Zagros Mountains, the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains, and the Andes. These areas are densely populated and industrially concentrated, posing significant earthquake hazards with the potential to greatly impact human civilization. Understanding the complex relationships among fault slip, fold growth, and earthquakes would benefit earthquake risk assessment in these regions.
