The state-of-the-art digital detector array, developed by the Institute of Modern Physics offers a high - precision measurement tool for the study of exotic nuclei decay. This system demonstrates unique advantages in accurately measuring rare decay processes such as β-delayed proton emission, α decay, and direct proton radioactivity. Verified by experiments on the radioactive isotope ³²Ar and its neighboring nuclei, the system achieves excellent timing and energy resolution, promoting our understanding of nuclear structure and astrophysical processes.

A new study in Engineering introduces an innovative N-glycoproteomic workflow. This method aims to overcome the limitations of current approaches in analyzing the low-abundant N-glycoproteome in human blood plasma. It shows promise in expanding the detection range of glycoproteins, differentiating complex N–glycan structures, and identifying rare N-glycans, potentially advancing the discovery of blood plasma biomarkers.

A research team led by Dr. Ju-Yul Lee and Dr. Seil Kim from the Energy & Environment Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed the world’s first eco-friendly silver (Ag) plating technology using a phosphorus (P) compound as a key plating component.

Forests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by acting as carbon sinks. However, accurately tracking the carbon dynamics of forests, especially in rapidly urbanizing regions, remains a challenge. A recent study published in Forest Ecosystems offers new insights into the carbon effects of continuous forest change in China’s Yangtze River Delta (YRD) from 2000 to 2020, using advanced monitoring techniques.

Fraunhofer IAF has developed a monolithic bidirectional switch with a blocking voltage of 1200 V using its GaN-on-insulator technology. The switch contains two free-wheeling diodes and can deliver performance and efficiency benefits in bidirectional chargers and drives for electric vehicles as well as in systems for generating and storing renewable energy. The results will be presented together with other developments in power electronics from May 6 to 8, 2025, at PCIM Europe in Nuremberg.
