Lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO3) and potassium tantalite (KTaO3) are insulators, but when they are combined together, the interface can conduct electricity and even superconduct. This kind of “emerging” superconductivity” at the interface has sparked keen interest among scientists. Scholars from the Department of Physics at Zhejiang University and the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found that the conductive properties of the LaAlO3/KTaO3 interface can be continu...

Each electron carries one negative elementary charge, whose collective motion generates electric currents that drive the operation of lights, transistors and all kinds of electronic devices. However, as being an elementary particle, electron also possesses an intrinsic angular momentum, i.e. spin of 1/2. It has been a tempting goal to manipulate electron spins for developing faster and more energy-efficient electronic devices since Datta and Das proposed the idea of spin field-effect transistor ...

Immunotherapeutic drugs, as represented by immune-checkpoint blockade (ICB), have achieved tremendous success in curing various tumors in recent years, thus improving the survival and life quality of some tumor patients in an appreciable manner. Recent data from clinical trials on breast cancer patients suggest that ICB, in combination with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, can improve the pathological complete response (pCR) rate and the event-free survival rate in breast cancer. Neo-adjuvant ICB is e...
