Wei Xia's Team | "Films" the Ball-Milling Reaction, Revealing How a Solid Electrolyte Transforms from Crystalline into an Amorphous Product

In the world of chemistry and materials science, order is often regarded as synonymous with high performance. The more regular the crystal structure, the easier it seems to understand, design, and optimize. Yet, in the field of all-solid-state batteries, some seemingly “less ordered” amorphous materials are showing unexpected promise.A team led by Assistant Professor Wei Xia of the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), in collaboration with the Southern University of Science and Technol

Chunmiao Zheng and Wenhui Qiu's Team | Microplastics Impact Gut Health — Study Reveals the "Invisible Invader"

Have you heard of microplastics? These plastic fragments, invisible to the naked eye and smaller than 5 millimeters in diameter, are found in water, food, and even the air. A collaborative study by multiple research institutions has for the first time systematically analyzed microplastics in human intestinal tumourtissues and found that the detection of microplastics is statistically associated with an increased risk of tumour recurrence and worsening gastrointestinal symptoms.This work delves d

Xueliang Sun and Changhong Wang's Team | UCl₃-Type Halide Solid Electrolytes: The True "Fast Runner" Is Not the Crystalline Phase

Recently, the team led by Chair Professor Xueliang Sun, Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Assistant Professor Changhong Wang at the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), published a research article inNature Communications. Using a PrCl₃-based halide solid electrolyte as a model system, they systematically elucidated the structural role of foreign cations and the underlying ion conduction mechanism, and on this basis designed a high-performance electrolyte suitab

Chen Zhu's Team | Strong Synergy: Asymmetric Catalysis Meets Asymmetric-Waveform Alternating Current

In the realm of chemical synthesis, asymmetric catalysis has consistently remained one of the most challenging research frontiers. It governs our ability to efficiently and precisely construct molecules bearing specific chiral architectures—molecules that are ubiquitous in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. Meanwhile, electrosynthesis, a green methodology driven by electrical energy, has garnered considerable attention in recent years.However, the convergence of these two

Yi He's Team | Accurate Estimates of Ultimate 100-Meter Records: Where the Limit of Human Speed Lies?

How fast can humans possibly run the 100-meter dash? This question has captivated the world since Usain Bolt set the current world record of 9.58 seconds. On the 100-meter track, each 0.01-second improvement represents a new breakthrough, making the “limit of human speed” a classic topic in sports science.Recently, Professor Yi He of the College of Science at the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), in collaboration with John H.J. Einmahl, a leading authority on extreme value statistic

Shihui Wen's Team | Builing "LEGO" at the Atomic Scale to Achieve Programmable Nano-Synthesis

Controlling the growth direction and location of different materials at the atomic scale—much like building with LEGO blocks—has been a long-standing goal for materials scientists. Just as a buildings architecture determines its function, the morphology, composition, and structureof nanomaterials directly dictate whether they serve as efficient catalysts or sensitive biological probes.A team led by Associate ProfessorShihui Wen from the Collegeof Science at the Eastern Institute of Technology, N

Yuntian Chen's Team | "Instant Diagnosis" for Automotive Aerodynamic Drag: A Homegrown AI Agent Accelerates and Streamlines New-Vehicle Development

Have you ever wondered why the shapes of new energy vehicles on the market are becoming increasingly sleek? Why some cars offer longer driving ranges and a quieter ride at highway speeds? A critical piece of the answer lies in aerodynamic drag. A vehicles drag coefficient directly affects its energy consumption, range, and overall performance.In traditional development cycles, however, automotive aerodynamic design has relied heavily on high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation

Chen Zhu's Team | Programming Strained Rings to Grow Multiple Functional Groups in One Step

In the world of chemistry, strained rings such as cyclopropanes and cyclobutanes behave like compressed springs, storing considerable reaction driving force. Yet a long‑standing problem has remained: after ring opening, reactions typically stop at the 1,3‑or 1,4‑difunctionalization stage, making it extremely difficult to continue “adding”functional groups on adjacent carbons.Now, a collaborative team led by Prof. Chen Zhu of Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo and Prof. Tao Shen of Shanghai
