Recently, a collaboration of researchers from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Universities of Oldenburg (Germany) and Oxford (UK) have been gathering evidence suggesting that a specific light-sensitive protein in the eye named cryptochrome 4 is sensitive to magnetic fields and p...
Topological semimetals are one of the major discoveries in condensed-matter physics in recent years. The magnetic Weyl semimetal, in which the Weyl nodes can be generated and modulated by magnetization, provides an ideal platform for the investigation of the magnetic field-tunable link between We...
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...
