Abstract

The Soochow University Beamline, located at the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory in China, is a Soft X-ray beamline designed for studying energy-related materials and devices. It operates in the energy range of 45 eV–1100 eV and is specifically tailored for investigating Li, B, C, N, O, F K-edges, and most L-edges of transition metals. The beamline offers various capabilities, including X-ray absorption, photon in photon out, and in situ/operando studies of energy materials and devices in gas/liquid environments. It has been successful in producing high-quality research papers and is open to users worldwide. The beamline is a collaborative effort between Soochow University and the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, with funding from Soochow University. It is the first synchrotron radiation beamline in China to be funded by a university. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

In "Improbable Diplomats: How Ping-Pong Players, Musicians, and Scientists Remade US-China Relations," Pete Millwood argues that the rapprochement between the United States and China in the 1970s involved more than just high-level diplomacy. Millwood explores the role of non-governmental organizations and people-to-people exchanges in shaping and maintaining the relationship between the two countries. The book highlights the contributions of organizations like the National Committee on US-China Relations and the Committee on Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China, as well as the experiences of individuals involved in exchange visits. Millwood's research challenges the traditional focus on official diplomacy and offers a more comprehensive understanding of US-China relations during this period. [Extracted from the article]
