Quantum Hall experiment named one of China's ten scientific advances of 2019
The Ministry of Science and Technology's High Technology Research and Development Center selected the collaboration's experiment on bulk ZrTe₅.
On 27 February, China's Ministry of Science and Technology announced its selection of ten scientific advances for 2019. The list recognised experimental evidence of the three-dimensional quantum Hall effect in bulk ZrTe₅, obtained by Liyuan Zhang's group at SUSTech, Zhenhua Qiao's group at the University of Science and Technology of China and their collaborators.
The original paper appeared online in Nature on 8 May 2019. In a separate selection, members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering had also voted the work among China's top ten science and technology news stories of 2019.
