Peking University, Mar. 23, 2017: Recently,Wei Han’s group, from the International Center for Quantum Materials (ICQM), demonstrated the spin injection and observation of inverse Edelstein effect in the Rashba-split 2DEG between SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 at room temperature. This w...

Peking University, Mar. 16, 2017: Charge-density-waves (CDW) is one of the most fundamental collective quantum phenomena in solids. Charge density waves display periodic modulations of the charge with a period that is commensurate or incommensurate to the underlying lattice. Most...

Peking University, Feb. 23, 2017: An important breakthrough in super-resolution microscopy has been made by Prof. Xi Peng’s group in College of Engineering, Peking University, in collaboration with researchers from Macquarie University, University of Technology Sydney, and...

Peking University, Jan. 19, 2017: Symmetry is the essential basis of nature, which gives rise to conservation laws. In comparison, the breaking of the symmetry is also indispensable for many phase transitions and nonreciprocal processes. Among various symmetry breaking phenomena...

Peking University, Jan. 18, 2017: Battery science and technology are of current interest. While the specific capacity of the commercially used graphite anode for lithium battery is limited to 372 mAh/g. Extensive efforts have been devoted to improve the performance but not much p...
