Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are rare cells with extremely low abundance in peripheral blood and have shown extensive molecular heterogeneity. However, just enumeration of CTCs could not reflect the heterogeneity of tumor biology. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop single-CTC picking method to better understand the role of individual CTC at molecular biology level.
Recently, Prof. LI Wei and his team from Changchun Institute of Optical, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Shanhui Fan and his team from Stanford University, USA, analyzes the physical mechanism and overviews recent progress of near and far field thermal radiation control based on symmetry-broken nanophotonic structures and outlooked the future development in this direction.
A research group led by Prof. ZHANG Jiahua from Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his co-author Prof. LIU Feng from Northeast Normal University, Prof. WANG Xiaojun from Georgia Southern University proposed a single-wavelength information write-in and read-out strategy to replace the conventional multi-wavelength strategy to simplify the structure of storage devices. The work was published in Laser & Photonics Reviews.
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) is an optical structure created by a thin layer of silicon (Si) patterned on an insulating layer, commonly silicon dioxide (SiO2). Because of the remarkable transparency of Si in the infrared band and the significant refractive index difference between Si and SiO2, SOI waveguides have unique optical features.
In a study published in Analyst, a research group led by Prof. LI Bei from the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fin Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) proposed a more convenient and accuracy way to detect carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).
The need for computational resources has grown significantly in today's information society, and the density of conventional integrated circuit transistors is getting close to its physical limit.
