75 % of these withdrawals concerned Chinese herbal drugs, and withdrawal concerned 15 provinces. This is a consequence of stricter rules through unannounced inspections taking place this year. China Bio news release, July 10, 2015
The groups around Fuxiang ZHANG at CAS Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics and Kazunari DOMEN of the University of Tokyo found in a joint project that a Pt-loaded heterostructure catalyst which could be produced by one-pot chemistry split water at nearly 7 % apparent quantum efficiency at 420 nm, which is much higher compared to […]
The device, developed by Feng ZHOU at CAS Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics, is based on polydimethylsiloxane decorated with a hydroresponsive polyelectrolygte brush. Upon increasing the humidity or immersing in water, the brush swells and the resulting lateral pressure leads to a bending movement of the rubber within a fraction of a second. When the […]
The material is based on gold and silveer nanorods (Au@Ag NR) and shows excellent peroxidase-like oxidation capacity between pH 4.0 – 6.5. They can replace peroxidase in chromogenic glucose assays based on glucose oxidase. CAS news release, July 3, 2015
The company, Hebei Huadan Complete Biodegradable Plastics Co. (HeadBio Co.), has built a plant with a capacity of 150.000 t in Hebei’s Yuhua District. The investment of 100 million Yuan came in part from Taiwan’s Weimon Group. A focus will be on cups, plates, but also on disposable bags and green mulch. The prize of […]
In the preparation of uniform crystalline thin-films from perovskite used in solar cells, the group around Shuping PANG at CAS QIBEBT found that methylamine gas at ambient temperature is able to reconstruct defects in the perovskite crystal structure of the thin film within seconds. The investigations are done jointly with Weihua Solar in Xiamen and […]
