Hefei Institute of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as Hefei Institute) is one of the largest comprehensive scientific research institutions affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is located in Science Island, Shushan District, Hefei City, covering an area of 2.65 square kilometers. It consists of seven research units, namely, the Anguang Institute, the Plasma Institute, the Solid Institute, the Intelligent Institute, the High Magnetic Field Center, the Nuclear Safety Institute and the Health Institute. Six platforms have been jointly built with local governments to transform results. There are more than 300 leading talents, such as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, high-level talents at home and abroad, winners of National Outstanding Youth Fund, chief scientists of National key research and development programs, and key technical talents. It has 5 post-doctoral research stations, 19 doctoral programs and 21 master programs, and has about 3,100 graduate students. It has more than 30 national or provincial key laboratories and research centers, as well as more than 10 large-scale experimental platforms.
The research fields of the Institute include plasma physics, magnetic confinement fusion Engineering, atmospheric optical Remote sensing, Laser and optoelectronics Science and Technology, High Magnetic Field Science and Technology, Environmental Science and Engineering, Advanced nuclear energy, biophysics, translational medicine, advanced diagnosis and treatment technology, materials Science and engineering, artificial intelligence and robotics, intelligent agriculture technology, etc. And has made many important scientific research achievements.
As a large comprehensive research base with strong scientific research strength, Hefei Research Institute is a national demonstration base for training innovative talents, a national demonstration base for international scientific and technological cooperation, and a national demonstration base for mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Two national scientific facilities have been built and are in operation, namely, the fully superconducting Tokamak nuclear fusion experimental facility and the steady-state high-magnetic field experimental facility. The third major scientific facility, the integrated research facility for the key system of the main engine of the fusion reactor, is under construction. In addition, the three-dimensional atmospheric environment detection facilities and high-light magnetic integrated experimental facilities are being pre-researched.
