A new study has found that intelligence, in the form of general cognitive abilities such as perception, thinking and remembering, is more important than hitherto thought at predicting a person’s ability to complete common tasks with a PC.
A research team has reviewed the crucial role of light-dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (LPOR) in chlorophyll synthesis and chloroplast development, particularly during the dark-light transition in plants.
The Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) is pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Habib Ammari as a Senior Fellow of the Institute. Professor Ammari, currently a Professor of Applied Mathematics at ETH Zürich, will bring profound expertise to this position.
Revealing the underlying patterns behind complex systems and predicting their behavior has become a focal point of current interdisciplinary research. In this study, researchers delved into the intrinsic mechanisms of complex systems behavior of photonic phase transitions in one-dimensional Rayleigh scattering systems by establishing a Rayleigh-scattering-phase-variation model with experimental realization. This work expands the current understanding of photonic phase transitions, which is an important reference value for the study of various complex systems. Furthermore, it advances the application of random fiber lasers in critical fields such as high-power laser devices.

Measuring computer chips to identify defects during manufacturing is crucial to improve production yield. Scientists from Delft and Utrecht investigated a novel imaging technique using EUV light—a high-energy short-wavelength radiation—to examine the 3D nanoscale structures on the chips. This technique eliminates the need to use any imaging system containing expensive EUV reflective mirrors in the measurement tool. Instead, images are reconstructed computationally from acquired diffraction data, resulting in a significant cost reduction.
Photothermoelectric (PTE) detectors have garnered substantial research interest for their promising capabilities in broadband self-driven photodetection. To get higher performances, it is crucial to localize light and heat energies for efficient conversion. Therefore, scientists in China fabricated a three-dimensional (3D) tubular detector by nanomembrane self-rolling, and remarkably enhanced performance has been achieved. The proposed self-rolled device holds promise for next-generation on-chip photodetection.
A long-wave, high-power, wide-tunable, single-longitudinal-mode solid-state laser was designed as light source in photoacoustic gas detection technology. The laser emits at ~2 μm with an excellent wavelength and power stability.

Exploring quantum heat engines is vital for designing highly efficient power systems beyond classical limits and for understanding quantum thermodynamics. Scientists demonstrate the first implementation of chiral thermodynamic cycles and quantum state transfers in a trapped ion by dynamically encircling a closed loop excluding Liouvillian exceptional points.
For the practical application of 2D semiconductors, it is crucial to construct high-quality p-n junctions. Scientist in China developed a low-energy ion implantation system for constructing 2D lateral p-n homojunction. The conductivity type of WS2 was successfully realized to transform from n-type conduction to p-type conduction, and the universality of this method was demonstrated.
