Breaking a Long-Standing Boundary in Physics: Xue-Jia Yu's Team and Collaborators Publish Two Consecutive Papers in Nature, Revealing That Topology Can Survive at Critical Points

Two studies on critical topology have recently been published in the internationally renowned journal Nature. These studies were led by the teams of Prof. Baile Zhang at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and Prof. Jianhua Jiang at the University of Science and Technology of China, respectively. Prof. Xue-Jia Yu from the School of Physics at the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), served as a co-corresponding author on both papers and provided key theoretical guidance in the

Transition from Kinetic-Driven to Thermodynamic-Driven: High-Entropy Strategy Rewrites the O3-P3 Phase Transition Mechanism

O3-type layered oxide cathodes for sodium-ion batteries offer the advantage of high specific energy. However, the O3–P3 phase transition occurring during charge and discharge induces significant lattice strain, leading to stress accumulation within particles, particle cracking, and severe degradation of structural integrity, which ultimately deteriorates cycle life. While traditional understanding attributes this phase transition to a layer-gliding effect, this work reveals that the O3–P3 transi

Stress Reduced by 80%! Innovative Design Enables All‑Solid‑State Lithium‑Sulfur Batteries to Break Dependence on High External Pressure

All‑solid‑state lithium‑sulfur batteries, featuring high theoretical energy density and intrinsic safety merits, are regarded as highly promising next‑generation energy‑storage technologies. In practical operation, however, external pressure of tens or even hundreds of megapascals is usually required to mitigate interface mismatch, contact loss and mechanochemical failure induced by electrode volume variation. Such reliance on high pressure not only raises the difficulty of engineering implement

"Disguised" Symmetry: Graph Theory Uncovers the "Geometric Identity" Hidden in Disordered Systems

Confronted with a disordered graph of nodes and edges, one might think it has no symmetry at all—neither rotational symmetry nor mirror symmetry. Yet those seemingly “crooked” discrete systems may simply have their symmetry hidden; with a different mathematical “lens,” the hidden geometric beauty reveals itself.A team led by Associate Professor Wenlong Gao of the College of Science at Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), in collaboration with groups from The Hong Kong Polytechnic Unive

Tuning and Stabilization: New Approaches to Controlling Magnetic Topological Materials

The team led by Associate Professor Tong Zhou at the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), together with teams from Fudan University, East China Normal University, Southeast University, and other institutions, has made two important advances in the control and stabilization of magnetic topological quantum materials. One study reveals a giant exchange-coupling-driven magnetic topological phase transition in the new topological magnet Eu₃In₂As₄(EIAS), realizing vectorial control of the mi

Can Topology and Quantum Criticality Coexist? How Critical Topology Breaks the Classical Law of Quantum Phase Transitions

Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. The critical points of such phase transitions are a key to understanding the physical world. Topological states of matter, a concept recognized by the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics, reveal a class of matter that is insulating in the interior but conducting on the surface.For a long time, these two fields were regarded as two isolated islands: critical points are where the energy gap closes, whereas topological states require an energy gap for stability.The

Bridging-Oxygen-Driven Ultrafast Amorphization Unblocks the Mass-Production Bottleneck for All-Solid-State Sodium-Ion Battery Electrolytes

All-solid-state sodium-ion batteries hold broad promises for applications such as electric vehicles and large-scale grid storage, owing to the abundant sodium resources, the absence of flammable liquid electrolytes, and their pronounced cost advantages. The solid electrolyte is the core material that determines the practical performance and industrial viability of these batteries, yet the prevailing mechanochemical ball-milling synthesis route faces a critical manufacturing pain point: preparing

80% Stress Reduction! Innovative Design Frees All-Solid-State Lithium–Sulfur Batteries from Reliance on High External Pressure

All-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs), combining high theoretical energy density with intrinsic safety advantages, are regarded as a highly promising next-generation energy storage technology. In practical operation, however, they typically require external stack pressures of tens to even hundreds of megapascals to alleviate interfacial mismatch, contact loss and mechanochemical failure induced by electrode volume changes.

Breaking Through the Bottleneck in Lithium–Iodine Battery Research with the Unified Descriptor

High-energy-density battery systems such as lithium–iodine (Li–I₂) batteries have drawn considerable attention in recent years owing to their low cost, high theoretical energy density, and excellent fast-charging capability. However, the iodine cathode readily generates soluble polyiodides during cycling, and the resulting shuttle effect causes active-material loss and rapid capacity fade. Conventional physical adsorption offers only limited confinement of polyiodides, whereas a chemical anchori
