Public research university in Hefei, China, under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, known for physics, quantum information and materials science.
USTC-led researchers shaped alpha-Bi4Br4 crystals into scanning tunneling microscope tips and report converging evidence of 2D d-wave altermagnetism on KV2Se2O. The tip's spin sensitivity can change with bias polarity, so one kind of probe can tie atomic structure to spin response.

In Ulanqab, an electrical engineer told the BBC the data centre site adds one phase every year and is now on its second. The siting logic is cheap land, cool air, and wind and solar capacity already standing in the grasslands.
Reality
A USTC team moved an entangled state off the electron spins of silicon carbide color centers and onto two silicon nuclei, where it survived hundreds of microseconds without cooling, then brought it back to the electron to read out.
Reality
A Nature Physics team measured the superconducting gap of strained La3Ni2O7 films without a pressure cell. The result points away from cuprate-style d-wave pairing, and moves the bottleneck to growth.

A Science paper from RHIC's STAR detector backs a 1996 proposal that a Y-shaped gluon junction carries baryon number. The collider stopped running in early 2026, so the dataset is closed.
