A+ / A-
On September 30, 2025, the awards ceremony for the International Zavoisky Award, the highest honor in the international field of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), was held in Kazan, Russia. Prof. DU Jiangfeng, Vice Minister of Education of China and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), was awarded the 2025 Zavoisky Award in recognition of his outstanding achievements in spin-qubit magnetic resonance spectroscopy, making him the first Chinese scientist to receive this honor.
Prof. DU is a scholar in the field of spin quantum manipulation. He has made systematic and pioneering contributions to single-molecule scale magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the development of EPR instruments.
Leading his team, Prof. DU utilized spin sensors of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond combined with precision quantum manipulation technology to achieve, for the first time internationally, EPR detection of single protein and DNA molecules. This finding advanced magnetic resonance technology from the macroscopic level to the single-molecule level, and he has continued to promote the practical application of this new magnetic resonance technology in fields such as life sciences and basic physics.
In addition, he led the development of a series of magnetic resonance equipment, including the world's first multi-band pulsed single-spin magnetic resonance spectrometer and China's first X-band and W-band pulsed EPR spectrometers.
The establishment of the International Zavoisky Award was initiated by Prof. K.M. Salikhov in 1991 to commemorate Yevgeny Zavoisky, the discoverer of EPR. It is an award that honors scientists worldwide who have made outstanding contributions to the science and technology of EPR.
