	Recently, a group in Tongji University reported the densification processes of metallic glass Ce65Co25Al10 (fabricated by melt-spinning technique) under high pressure both at room temperature (293 K) and 390 K, which is near the glass transition temperature (Tg~396 K), using in situ high-pressure synchrotron X-ray measurements performed at Beamline at Beamline 4W2 of the BSRF in Beijing.

	Rare earth doped inorganic crystal has been widely used as an important scintillator in several technologies, such as high energy radiation detection and medical imaging. Recently, with the development of a next generation of time-of-flight PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanners, it’s urgently demanded that an ultrafast scintillator with shorter decay time and more light output. For this consideration, lanth...

	The energy level structure formation of phosphors is the key issue to investigate and predict the superb luminescence properties of relevant lanthanide doped into lattice. However, the distinguishment of the dopant Ce3+ 5d energy with different surrounding coordination environment has limited the further study on its potential application when Ce3+ is doped into host lattice with multi-cationic sites. Recently, a ...

	A research group from the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering in the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking university has prepared thermo-responsive ion gels from ABA triblock copolymers containing a side-chain liquid crystalline (LC) as end-block A and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the mid-block B. Their research has been published in Macromolecules on July 28, 2015.

	A research group from the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering in the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking university has designed and synthesized a series of hierarchically ordered organic？inorganic hybrid polymers from mesogen-jacketed polymers (MJLCPs) and the inorganic nanoparticle POSS. Their research has been published in Macromolecules on April 28, 2015.

	Due to their excellent anti-oxidation performance, CeO2 nanoparticles receive wide attention in pharmacological application. Deep understanding of the anti-oxidation mechanism of CeO2 nanoparticles is extremely important to develop potent CeO2 nanomaterials for anti-oxidation application. However, the anti-oxidation mechanism of CeO2 nanoparticles has remained elusive. A joint team (Rare Earth Separation and Inorg...
