  Precise Electromagnetic Structure of Neutron Measured at BESIII The BESIII collaboration presented measurements of the neutron’s electromagnetic (EM) structure in the time-like region with unprecedented precision. The new BESIII results clarify the photon-nucleon interaction puzzle that has persisted for over 20 years, and a surprising periodic structure is observed on the nucleon effective form factors. The manuscript is featured on the cover of the Nature Physics issue of Nov.8th, 2021.

  Observation of the Zcs(3985) strange four-quark meson In the March 12th, 2021 issue of Physical Review Letters, the BESIII collaboration reports the discovery of an exotic multi-quark structure, dubbed the Zcs(3985), that is produced in the process of e^+ e^-→K^+ (D_s^- D^(*0)+D_s^(*-) D^0) at an e^+ e^- center-of-mass energy of 4.68 GeV. The Zcs(3985) is observed to decay to a charged strange-charmed meson plus a neutral charmed meson, i.e., D_s^- D^(*0)+D_s^(*-) D^0, and has a mass of 3.98 GeV/c2. This is the first candidate for a tetra-quark meson containing hidden-charm with non-zero strangeness. This paper was selected as one of that issue’s and "Editors' Suggestion" and prominently featured on the APS synopsis website.
