Researchers from the Tianjin International Center for Nanoparticles and Nanosystems (TICNN) at Tianjin University have achieved significant progress in the field of semiconducting graphene. Led by Prof. Ma Lei, the team successfully addressed the long-standing key technical challenge of opening the bandgap in graphene, which has hindered the development of graphene electronics. This breakthroug...
Insulin resistance plays a key role in type 2 diabetes research, and a high-sugar diet is often considered one of its main triggers. Recently, Professor Wang Yiwen’s research team at the School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology successfully used the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), as a model to explore the potential role of gut microbiota in insulin resistance.The study results s...

Recently, Associate Professor Youxin Li’s group, School of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, Tianjin University, reported a new adjustable gravity-mediated capillary electrophoresis (AGM-CE) technology, which introduced gravity as another force into the capillary electrophoresis.It was different from electrophoretic flow and electroosmotic flow. In the process of electrophoresis, the diff...
Among known click chemistry, sulfur (VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx) reaction is a new generation of click chemistry, in which the S–F bond reacts readily with silyl-protected phenols, phenolates or amines. In 2019, Han Zuilhof’s group discovered that SuFEx reaction is intrinsically an enantiospecific click reaction as a chiral S(VI) center reacts exclusively with inversion of configuration. Th...
