Prof. Wang Junqiang’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has revealed the key role of activation entropy in the memory effect of glasses, providing new understanding of the physical origin of the memory effect in glasses. The study was published in Physical Review Letters (Phys. Rev. Lett.).

A research group led by Prof. FANG Junfeng at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has synthesized an effective post-treatment agent of methylammonium pyridine-2-carboxylic (MAPyA) to in situ heal and stabilize CsPbI3 films for high efficiency and stable inverted CsPbI3perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Th...

Prof. WU Aiguo’s team at the Cixi Institute of Biomedical Engineering, Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), developed a novel therapeutic method termed mechano-chemotherapy, which can efficiently overcome tumor drug-resistance. The study was published in Nano Today.

A research group led by Prof. CHEN Tao at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), brought the asymmetric elastoplasticity of stacked graphene assembly (SGA) into fullplay, contributing to the SGA/polyethylene (PE) bilayer actuators with excellent controllable morphing capability. 

As a typical representative of air plants, Tillandsia species can absorb moisture from the air with their leaves. Inspired by this hygroscopic foliage, Prof. CHEN Tao’s team at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has developed a new type of hygroscopic photothermal organogels (POG). The resulted POG ...
