Development of a space cold atom clock

Atomic clocks with cold atoms play important roles in the field of fundamental physics as well as primary frequency standards. Operating such cold atom clocks in space paves the way for further exploration in fundamental physics, for example dark matter and general relativity. We developed a space cold atom clock (SCAC), which was launched into orbit with the Space Lab TG-2 in 2016. Before it deorbited with TG-2 in 2019, the SCAC had been working continuously for almost 3 years. During the period in orbit, many scientific experiments and engineering tests were performed. In this article, we summarize the principle, development and in-orbit results. These works provide the basis for construction of a space-borne time-frequency system in deep space.     

Rapid phenotypic evolution with shallow genomic differentiation during early stages of high elevation adaptation in Eurasian Tree Sparrows

Known as the ‘third polar region’, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau represents one of the harshest highland environments in the world and yet a number of organisms thrive there. Previous studies of birds, animals and humans have focused on well-differentiated populations in later stages of phenotypic divergence. The adaptive processes during the initial phase of highland adaptation remain poorly understood. We studied a human commensal, the Eurasian Tree Sparrow, which has followed human agriculture to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Despite strong phenotypic differentiation at multiple levels, in particular in muscle-related phenotypes, highland and lowland populations show shallow genomic divergence and the colonization event occurred within the past few thousand years. In a one-month acclimation experiment investigating phenotypic plasticity, we exposed adult lowland tree sparrows to a hypoxic environment and did not observe muscle changes. Through population genetic analyses, we identified a signature of polygenic adaptation, whereby shifts in allele frequencies are spread across multiple loci, many of which are associated with muscle-related processes. Our results reveal a case of positive selection in which polygenic adaptation appears to drive rapid phenotypic evolution, shedding light on early stages of adaptive evolution to a novel environment.     

Large-scale multiferroic complex oxide epitaxy with magnetically switched polarization enabled by solution processing

Complex oxides with tunable structures have many fascinating properties, though high-quality complex oxide epitaxy with precisely controlled composition is still out of reach. Here we have successfully developed solution-based single-crystalline epitaxy for multiferroic (1-x)BiTi_(1-y)/2Fe_yMg_(1-y)/2O₃–(x)CaTiO₃ (BTFM–CTO) solid solution in large area, confirming its ferroelectricity at the atomic scale with strong spontaneous polarization. Careful compositional tuning leads to a bulk magnetization of 0.07 ± 0.035 μ_B/Fe at room temperature, enabling magnetically induced polarization switching exhibiting a large magnetoelectric coefficient of 2.7–3.0 × 10⁻⁷ s/m. This work demonstrates the great potential of solution processing in large-scale complex oxide epitaxy and establishes novel room-temperature magnetoelectric coupling in epitaxial BTFM–CTO film, making it possible to explore a much wider space of composition, phase, and structure that can be easily scaled up for industrial applications.

共同体的界定、内涵及其生成——共同体研究综述

共同体作为一个基本的社会学概念,尽管也有学者倾向于把它看作一种"想象出来的安全感"或者充满想象的"精神家园",但早期主要是指一种共同的生活.在当代,共同体的概念得到了极大的扩展,并且在不同语境和话语体系下对共同体的认识和理解往往难以达成一致.总体而言,共同目标、身份认同和归属感是共同体的基本特征,也是共同体赖以生成的基本要素.

中国边境旅游:阶段、格局与若干关键战略问题及对策

边境旅游一直是中国与周边国家次区域合作的重要内容之一,同时也是"兴边富民"的重要战略性支柱产业。近年来,随着国务院办公厅《兴边富民行动规划(2011-2015年)》政策的实施,边境旅游面临新的发展机遇。本文在总结过去边境旅游发展阶段和格局基础上,就未来边境旅游发展定位、城市旅游发展、旅游产品与线路设计、旅游资源整合开发、通道体系、政策体制试验创新等若干关键战略问题进行了初步探讨。文章认为,我国的边境旅游发展可以分为四个时期:缓慢起步期、初步发展期、快速提升期、全面发展期,并在资源、产品、市场、城市分布、跨区域合作、调控政策等方面形成了独特的发展格局。在此基础之上,文章提出我国边境旅游在发展定位、城市旅游发展、旅游产品与线路设计、旅游资源整合开发、旅游通道体系构建、旅游政策等关键方面还存在着若干问题,并就此提出了相应的对策建议,以期对我国未来边境旅游的发展有所启示。     

对高校武术教学改革策略的研究

文章采用文献资料法和逻辑分析法,从武术与高校能够相溶的基本属性特征的文化性、教育性、健身防身性入手,对现代高校武术教学的状况进行了分析,找出影响武术教学效果的一些因素:(1)学生起点低,教材的创编缺乏科学性;(2)教学课时少,时间短;(3)教学内容单一,教学方法单调等因素。并根据存在的问题,提出武术教学在教学内容上要以"技理结合"为原则,不仅注重运动形式,还要加强武术文化的传授;丰富教学内容,科学创编教材;在教法上注重"体用结合"等教学方法的革新等改革措施。
