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...

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...

In addition to the exciting competition, the new technology involved in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has also attracted widespread attention. The Visual & Data Intelligence Center (VDIC) of SIST and its incubated startup DGene, developed the “Free-Viewpoint Video Effects Live Application System” to serve the video broadcast of the Winter Olympic Games, providing viewers with a live, free...

 On February 9, ShanghaiTech, for the first time, entered the list of China's World-Class Universities Project (the second-round list of universities and disciplines included in this project was jointly released by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Development and Reform Commission). ShanghaiTech's Materials Science and Engineering was listed as the ...

In the quest for understanding how the mammary gland epithelium forms its distinctive branching pattern, a team led by SLST researchers found that it uses a completely different system than what was previously believed In their new study, published on February 15 in Cell Reports, scientists from Lyu Pengfei’s group found that mammary gland epithelium lacking the polarity gene Lgl1 ...

Recently, Associate Professor Wang Cheng’s group at SIST developed a broadband hyperchaos laser source in the mid-infrared regime. The related work has been published in Light: Science & Applications in an article entitled “Mid-infrared hyperchaos of interband cascade lasers”.Chaos is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, and is a disordered behavior similar to a random process generated ...

According to the 2019 World Health Organization (WHO) report, over 350 million people worldwide live with depression, with an annual increase rate of approximately 18%. In China, depression affects over 95 million people. About 67% of those with depression had suicidal ideation, and 25% attempted suicide. However, most existing antidepressants are slow-acting, short-enduring and have low response ...

On January 25, Associate Professor Guan Ji-Song’s research group of SLST published a research paper in Neuron entitled, “ASH1L haploinsufficiency results in autistic-like phenotypes in mice and links Eph receptor gene to autism spectrum disorder”. This study describes the role of Ash1l mutation in autism spectr...

The latest research by Associate Professor Lyu Pengfei’s group at SLST has found that the traditional tight junction component Occludin plays a crucial regulatory role in lipid droplet secretion, one of the fundamental cellular behaviors. On January 18th, 2022, the work from Lyu's lab was published online in PLOS Biology, in an article entitled “Occludin is a target of Src kinase and promote...
