From July 7-9, 2024, Shu-Hong YU, Dean of the College of Science, and Bin TAN, Associate Dean of the College of Science of Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), led a delegation to visit the National University of Singapore(NUS).

Rheology is the study of how materials change shape and flow when force is applied to them. The evolution of the solid Earth is regulated by mantle convection and plate tectonics, which involves complex and non-linear behaviors.

On July 12, 2024, Professor Guy Bertrand from the the Department of Chemistry at the University of California was invited to the 158th Science Lecture at the College of Science. He delivered a lecture titled “Carbenes as Powerful Transition-Metal Surrogates”, chaired by Associate Professor Liu LIU of the Department of Chemistry, SUSTech.

Earthquakes are complex natural phenomena that pose significant risks to communities worldwide.

Thin film fabrication is of great importance in modern engineering. Among various bottom-up film fabrication strategies, interfacial assembly of nano-building blocks holds great promise in constructing large-scale aligned monolayer thin film, which leads to emergent or enhanced collective properties compared to individual building blocks.

Most transition metal complexes feature partially occupied d orbitals, rendering their valence orbitals capable of both nucleophilic and electrophilic interactions with small molecules. In stark contrast, main group elements typically possess fully occupied valence electrons. The chemical reactivity of main group compounds is closely tied to the energy levels of frontier molecular orbitals and the distribution of their valence electrons. This reactivity is further influenced by factors such as atomic radius and electronegativity.
