The JUST Project Kicks Off in TDLI
On September 10, 2023, the launch ceremony of the JUST(Jiao Tong University Spectroscopic Telescope) Project was held in TDLI. The JUST Project is a 4-meter aperture spectroscopic telescope constructed at Lenghu, Qinghai, for the purpose of carrying out scientific research on the exploration of the dark universe, the tracking of the dynamic universe, and the search for solar-like systems.

TDLI Researchers Make Breakthrough in Quantum Hall Effect
A team comprising researchers including Li Tingxin and Liu Xiaoxue from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Zhang Yang from the University of Tennessee in the United Stated recently designed a novel device which they used to observe integer and fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (IQAHE and FQAHE), one of two concurrent and independent experimental achievements that provide conclusive evidence of FQAHE.

Two-decade Monitoring of M87 Unveils a Precessing Jet Connecting to a Spinning Black Hole
The nearby radio galaxy M87, located 55 million light-years from the Earth and harboring a black hole 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun, has recently been discovered to exhibit an oscillating jet. This investigation found the jet swinging up and down with an amplitude of about 10 degrees. Through the extensive analysis of data observed from 2000 to 2022 by various international networks of radio telescopes, the research team unveils a recurring 11-year cycle in the precessing motion of the jet base, as predicted by Einstein’s general relativity. This work successfully linked the dynamics of the jet with the central supermassive black hole, offering the evidence for the existence of M87’s black hole spin. The work is published in Nature on September 27th, 2023 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06479-6).
