Peking University, April 16, 2026: Van der Waals (vdW) materials are promising building blocks for next-generation nanophotonics because of their atomically smooth surfaces, diverse material families, and outstanding optical properties. However, a key challenge has limited their...

Peking University, Mar 16, 2026: An innovative platform developed by PKU researchers called "cf-EpiTracing" has proved capable of detecting and tracing diseases from as little as 50 μl of human plasma, or roughly a drop of blood. The research, published in Nature on March 4, 2026...

Peking University, Mar 3, 2026: Why did atmospheric methane rise at an unprecedented rate during 2020–2022, intensifying global warming at a critical time for climate action? A research team led by Professor Peng Shushi from the College of Urban and Environmental Sciences at Peki...

Peking University, February 9, 2026: Modern technologies increasingly rely on light sources that can be reconfigured on demand. Think of microlasers that can quickly switch between different operating states—much like a car shifting gears—so that an optical chip can route signals...

Peking University, February 1, 2026: A research team led by Prof. Lei Xiaoguang(http://www.chem.pku.edu.cn/leigroup/) at Peking University has achieved a major scientific breakthrough in the field of biosynthesis and biocatalysis. For the first time, they have developed a novel b...
