A research team led by Prof.Chen Zhigang and Prof. Xu Jingjun from Nankai University has made anadvancement in photonic graphene.They havepresenteda concept of “optical vortex ladder”(OVL)for stepwise generation of optical vortices through Sisyphus pumping of pseudospin modes in photonic graphenewith arbitrary integralorbital angular momentum.Furthermore, the OVLs may open exciting new avenues for application of topological singularities, with the potential to impact the fields of optical commun
Recently, a research team led by Professors Wu Qiang, Lu Yao and Xu Jingjun atNankai University has made important progress in the study of stimulated phonon polaritons. The team demonstrated giant Kerr effect of terahertz waves by leveraging the strong coupling between terahertz waves and lattice vibrations in ionic crystals to excite the nonlinearity of stimulated phonon polaritons. This breakthrough offers new possibilities in advancing terahertz optical communications, optical computing, and

Propylene oxide(PO)is a crucial organic chemical intermediate. The direct epoxidation of propylene with molecular oxygen offers 100% theoretical atomiceconomy, representing amost desiredroute for PO production. However, this aerobic epoxidation reaction suffers from the apparent trade-off between propylene conversion and PO selectivity, whichremains a key challenge in catalysis.A recent researchby Nankai University research team, titled “Direct Propylene Epoxidation with Molecular Oxygen over Ti
