The Chinese Chemical Society announced the list of fellows of the Chinese Chemical Society (FCCS) in 2023. Professor Pang Dai-Wen of the College of Chemistry of Nankai University was elected as a fellow.Professor Pang Dai-Wen has studied quantum dots (QDs) for 23 years. He has pioneered the live-cell synthesis of QDs and the corresponding QD labeling technology, and broken through the site-specific quantitative biolabeling of single viruses, realizing the acquisition and analysis of multiple wea
Grüneisen parameter as an important parameter in condensed matter has great significance for measuring thermodynamics, elasticity, and inelasticity of matter. In the study of properties of condensed matter at high temperature and high pressure, the Grüneisen parameter links the elastic and thermal properties, playing a crucial role in constructing the equation of state of matter and studying thermodynamics under high pressure. In the pressurization experiment, due to the slow pressurization rate
Recently, the National Office for Philosophy and Social Sciences officially announced the list of approved special research projects for2023 National Social Sciences Fund for Rare Fields of Knowledge. A total of twenty-sevenacademic team projects and sixty-sixindividual scholar projects were approved nationwide. Nankai University hasa total of three approved projects, including one academic team project and two individual scholar projects. The number of projectsof the university hastiedfor the f
Recently, the team led by Professor Xu Wentao from the College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering of Nankai University designed and performed proof of concept on an artificial intelligent cornea with tactile sensation, bringing the artificial cornea one step closer to the human cornea.In recent years, a range of artificial corneas, such as Boston-type cornea and MICOF-type cornea, have been applied to clinical treatment. These artificial corneas perform the functions of human corn
On December 28, the National Office for Philosophy and Social Sciences announced the list of major projects of the National Social Science Fund of China in 2023, and Nankai University has seven projects on the list, being tied for eighth in the country. The list of approved projects are as follows:The major project program of the National Social Science Fund of China, which was established with the approval of the National Office for Philosophy and Social Sciences, is the top-level and most auth
Recently, Contemporary Logistics in China: 20 Years of Progress and Achievementpublished by Springer, a world-renowned science and technology publishing company, with the Modern Logistics Research Center of Nankai University as the chief editing institution, was officially released globally.

Recently, the latest research findingsin the realm of photo-triggered synergistic treatment of thrombotic diseases, conducted by Ji Qi, Deling Kong et al. from the State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology and the College of Life Sciences at Nankai University, were published in Nature Communications, a world-renowned journal, with the title “Near-infrared-II photoacoustic imaging and photo-triggered synergistic treatment of thrombosis via fibrin-specific homopolymer nanoparticles”. The
Recently, the team led by Professor Lei Wang of Nankai University discovered that three major meningitis-causing bacteria exploit the same mechanism to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and illustrated the molecular mechanism in detail. Bacterial meningitis has a high fatality rate and serious sequela, and lacks specific treatment methods. The research team revealed for the first time the mechanism by which bacteria penetrate the BBB, and this is of great significance for meningitis preve
The latest research results made by Nankai University were published online in top international journal Scienceunder the title of “Self-sustaining personal all-day thermoregulatory clothing using only sunlight”. This is the second Sciencepaper published by Nankai University in less than a month, and it is also the third Sciencepaper published by the team led by Professor Chen Yongsheng from the College of Chemistry, Nankai University.The research team led by Professor Chen Yongsheng from the Co
Recently, progress was made in addressing the basic problems of quantum physics by the research team led by Professor Jingling Chenfrom the Theoretical Physics Division of the Chern Institute of Mathematics at Nankai University. The research team first proposed the concept of spin angular-momentum waves internationally, and designed athoughtexperimentto generate and detect the spin angular-momentum waves, based on the oscillation of spin angular momentum of Dirac electron. On December 28, 2023,
