Since different gases have different characteristic peaks, spectrum detection technology can be used to detect various gases. The current full-spectrum (from ultraviolet to infrared) detection technology usually utilizes multiple discrete detectors with different wavelength bands, thus the system is relatively complex, with an unsatisfactory performance, high dark currents, and rare response spect...

In natural silk spinning process, the molecular assembly synergistically realizes the complex and ordered mesoscopic hierarchies. Inspired by this, SPST Ling Shengjie's group cooperated with Yao Yuan's group from ZJU-Hangzhou Global Scientific and Technological Innovation Center, to combine the “molecular-supramolecular assembly” and “phase transition-induced mechanical training” ...

Recently, the results of the 2022 International Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM) were announced, and ShanghaiTech team won the Outstanding Winner, the top price of MCM. This year, the MCM attracted a total of 15,105 teams from all over the world, including teams from Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Tsinghua, UC Berkeley and other well-known universities. There are 23 teams won the Outstan...

On May 7, the results of the 2021 Young Chemistry Award of the Chinese Chemical Society were announced. SPST Associate Professor Ji Quanjiang won this award for his developing a novel gene editing system that is easy to use in disease treatment. Prof. Ji Quanjiang is mainly engaged in the research of Cas nuclease mining, mechanism, and molecular evolution, and is committed to developing ...

Photoswitches are a class of molecules that can change their structural geometry after light exposure, and have wide applications in light-responsive materials, ion transport, and biomedicine. The speed at which the photoswitch changes structural geometry (i.e. thermal relaxation rate) is an important factor that determines its application scenarios, so the regulation of this performance is of gre...

Tumor immunotherapy, enhancing the immune system to kill tumor cells and to exert clinical effects, is a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of tumor therapy. Tumor neoantigens are polypeptides with antigenicity resulting from DNA mutations and the key factors in determining the immunogenicity of tumor cells and the clinical efficacy of tumor immunotherapy. However, neoantigen immunogenicity p...

Syntactic parsing, including dependency parsing and constituency parsing, studies automatic discovery of internal structures of sentences (e.g., subject-predicate-object structures, various types of phrase structures, coordinating and subordinating relations between words). Syntactic parsing is a fundamental task in natural language processing (NLP) that can be used to provide useful information f...

Compared with traditional solar cells, perovskite solar cells have the characteristics of high efficiency and low cost, and are considered to be the most promising next-generation solar cells. However, the widely used lead perovskite material has a wide band gap, which limits its theoretical maximum efficiency. In recent years, tandem solar cells based on the superposition of wide-bandgap and narr...

Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) has the advantages of light weight and high strength, and is widely employed in various industrial products, such as aerospace, advanced ships, new cars, wind turbine blades, pressure vessels and high-speed centrifuges. Defects and damages occurred in CFRP structures in the process of manufacturing and using will affect the reliability of materials, endanger ...

Professor Liu Ji-Long's group from SLST published a cover story entitled Combined inactivation of CTPS1 and ATR is synthetically lethal to MYC-overexpressing cancer cells in the March 15, 2022 issue of Cancer Research. This work demonstrates that selectively inhibiting CTPS1 combined with ATR inhibitor represents a promising strategy for the treatment of MYC-driven cancer in vitro and in ...

The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect, an important research direction in the field of condensed matter physics, is generated by the spontaneous magnetization of the material itself without relying on a strong magnetic field. When a perpendicular magnetic moment is introduced into the host topological insulators, the broken time-reversal symmetry lifts the spin degeneracy and gives rise to ...

In this information era, the number of academic papers published every year has exploded. There are major challenges as to how to help researchers quickly know the frontiers of scientific progress and help young scholars and students to quickly master the core knowledge system in their research field. In order to solve this problem, the Springer-Nature Group has developed the Dimensions Autosummar...

On February 28, the list of Top Ten Scientific Achievements in China in 2021 was officially released by the High Technology Research and Development Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST). The research achievement “Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 RNA escaping from nucleoside antiviral drugs” has been selected. It was undertaken by a joint research team led by ...

Recently, Assistant Professor Liu Yu’s research group, the Center for Intelligent Power and Energy Systems (CiPES) in SIST, proposed a new dynamic-state-estimation (DSE) based protection (DSEBP) method for transmission lines in MMC-HVDC grids. The work has been published in an article in the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, the leading peer-reviewed journal in the field of power system protec...
