Prof. WANG Junfeng from High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), together with some international scholars, developed a novel circular permutated LOV2 recently, for expanding the repertoire of genetically encoded photoswitches, which will accelerate the design...
Very recently, pressure-induced superconductivity has been unveiled in photovoltaic semiconductor ZnSiP2, according to a study conducted by a team from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of Hefei Institutes of Physical Science and Zhengzhou University.
Thanks to the various energy in nature, young sunflowers can track the sun’s movement because of the asymmetric elongation on opposite sides of stems from the solar irradiation; Drosophila melanogaster can sense and fly toward a light source to produce phototactic motion. These plants and insect...
As an important non-canonical DNA secondary structure in vivo and in vitro, G-quadruplexes (GQs) have been widely investigated in many fields including biology, medicinal chemistry, supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology. Vast G-quadruplexes (GQs) are primarily folded by one, two, or four G-...
Recently, Prof. ZHANG Xin and her research team in Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) reported a specific static magnetic field (SMF) setting could prevent the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in mice by improving iron metabolism.
