The IOP-HU early career researcher conference on October 12-14 in Liyang city, east China's Jiangsu province, is directed at early career researchers looking to present their research and interact with domestic and international condensed matter physicists, free of registration fees.?
The conference aims at providing early career researchers with a stimulating environment to discuss current research and pursue further research in China and Germany, aided with potential postdoctoral funding opportunities such as the IOP-Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellowship in Physics, the IOP International Young Scientist Fellowship and the CAS President's International Fellowship Initiative.
Chinese researchers used a lunar soil simulant to make "lunar bricks" that are more than three times stronger than the standard red bricks or concrete bricks. This breakthrough is promising for constructing strong lunar bases in the future.
