On July 1st, the Opening Ceremony of the 3rd Annual Conference of the Association of British Chinese Professors (ABCP) & China-UK University Presidents' Forum was held. President Gao Song attended the Forum via video and delivered a keynote speech titled “Strengthening China-UK Cooperation and Promoting Innovation-driven Development”.
Flexomagnetic effect, which refers to the coupling between magnetism and strain gradients, is a novel kind of magnetoelastic effect and has raised extensive attentions in interdisciplinary field of physics, mechanics, material science and electronics engineering. It holds promising application potential in developing novel devices like sensors, actuators and energy harvesters towards miniaturi...
Photonic Dirac cone is a special kind of degenerate state with linear dispersion, which is ubiquitous in various two-dimensional photonic crystals. By introducing spatial inversion symmetry breaking, photonic Dirac cone will transit to valley states. Correspondingly, photonic nodal ring is a kind of energy band degeneracy that exists in three-dimensional structure, and it appears as a closed ri...
Drug discovery and development have huge potential benefits for the pharmaceutical industry and patients. The identification of wet-lab experiment technology is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, the use of artificial intelligence methods to identify potential drugs can significantly reduce costs and greatly shorten the drug development process.
Microbes are indispensable components for the key biological processes of estuarine ecosystems and three main habitats (sediment, particle, and water) are harboring diverse estuarine microbes that prefer distinct lifestyles, such as the free-living (FL) and particle-attached (PA) microbes in water column and the benthic microbes in the sediment.
By applying large-scale metagenomic data from acid mine drainage sediments, Prof. Linan Huang’s team revealed the response of viral taxonomic and functional distribution patterns to prokaryotic communities, geochemistry, climate factors, and geographic distance, improved our understanding of the interactions between virus, host and the environments.
