Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with their collaborators, have achieved the first precise mass measurements of several exotic atomic nuclei. Using this mass data, they have determined the proton dripline for the elements aluminum, phosphorus, sulfur, and argon, and have proposed a new approach to uncovering proton halo structures.

The paper explores the unique properties of optically active crystals with screw symmetries. These crystals exhibit nonlocal super-dispersion, meaning their polarization rotation properties strongly depend on the wavelength. This nonlocal response allows for the development of a novel camera, the "Nonlocal-Cam." Unlike traditional cameras, the Nonlocal-Cam captures the spectral and polarimetric components of light, providing additional information about the scene. This technology has potential applications in various fields, including biology, machine vision, and remote sensing.

A team led by Prof. DONG Erbao from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), collaborating with Prof. YU Xinge from the City University of Hong Kong, developed a novel tactile perception method based on the structural color of flexible grating structural color.
