Recently, Caizhen Li, a postdoctoral fellow of Academician Dapeng Yu’s group (Shenzhen Institute of Quantum Science and Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology), in collaboration with Professor Zhimin Liao (Peking University) and Professor Chuan Li (University of Twente), made new progress in gate-controlled topological transition of superconductivity.

Recently, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) Professor Bin TAN’s team won the first prize of the Natural Science Award in Guangdong Province for its project “Asymmetric Axial Chiral Chemistry of Organic Catalysis”. It is one of 11 first prizes of Natural Science in the whole province, and also the first provincial science and technology award for the University.

Recently, Associate Professor Tiangang Yang (Department of Chemistry, SUSTech) together with the University of California, Los Angeles, (UCLA), University of New Mexico, has made important progress in the study of low-temperature interstellar chemical reaction kinetics. The results have been published in Science Advances entitled “Isomer-specific kinetics of the C+ + H2O reaction at the temperature of interstellar clouds”.

Recently, the team led by Jiaqing He (Chair Professor of Physics, SUSTech) reported novel thermal transport mechanisms in thermoelectric materials. The results, entitled “First-Principles Study of Anharmonic Lattice Dynamics in Low Thermal Conductivity AgCrSe2: Evidence for a Large Resonant Four-Phonon Scattering”, have been published in one of the most famous international journals Physical Review Letters.

Recently, the Shenzhen Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering (SIQSE) at Southern University of Science and Technology have made significant experimental progress in implementing two-qubit quantum gates with the superconducting quantum circuit.

SUSTech Department of Chemistry Professor Feng He’s team made crucial breakthroughs in designing and synthesizing high-performance non-fullerene acceptors for the development of organic solar cells. Their findings were published in Angewandte Chemie, CCS Chemistry, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, and Advanced Energy Materials.
