Earth possesses a global magnetic field dominated by a dipole. This geomagnetic field shields the planet from high-energy solar wind particles and cosmic rays, playing a critical role in the evolution of Earth’s habitability. Ancient rock records of remanent magnetism indicate that the geomagnetic field has existed for at least 3.5 billion years.

Perovskite materials demonstrate remarkable optoelectronic characteristics, including exceptionally high light absorption coefficients and extended carrier diffusion lengths. In photovoltaic applications, these materials have achieved laboratory device efficiencies exceeding 27% for single-junction configurations, surpassing conventional crystalline silicon solar cells and significantly outperforming traditional thin-film technologies. This outstanding performance highlights their transformative potential to disrupt the current photovoltaic landscape.

Developed by the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), the satellite was successfully launched aboard the Zhuque-2 Y2 rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

A research team led by Chair Professor Haiping Xia from the Department of Chemistry and Executive Dean of the Shenzhen Grubbs Institute at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has recently made a groundbreaking achievement in annulene chemistry.

Quantum correlation is a fundamental feature of quantum mechanics that distinguishes quantum systems from the classical macroscopic world. Quantum correlation can be categorized into spatial and temporal quantum correlations. A well-known example of spatial quantum correlation is quantum entanglement, which has played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of quantum mechanics while also serving as a key resource for cutting-edge quantum technologies, such as quantum communication, quantum computing, and quantum sensing. Research on quantum correlations has recently extended to the temporal domain, exploring the characteristics of quantum correlations across different time points and their potential applications in quantum technologies.
