Recently, Professor Chuang-Chaung Li’s group from the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) published a review article in the academic journal Chemical Society Reviews, entitled “Synthesis of natural products containing highly strained trans-fused bicyclo[3.3.0]octane: historical overview and future prospects.”

Zhi-Fang Xu' s team observed a global chiral atomic superfluid with topological excitations induced by interaction in an optical lattice similar to hexagonal boron nitride. The research published on Nature entitled “Evidence for an atomic chiral superfluid with topological excitations".

Recently, a joint research team headed by Associate Professor Ding Zhang and Professor Qi-Kun Xue has managed to determine the pairing symmetry of a copper oxide superconductor. By fabricating ultrathin Josephson junctions with atomically flat interfaces, they found clear evidence for dominant s-wave pairing in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x, which overturns the mainstream view of purely d-wave superconductivity in the same compound.

Recently, the team led by Professor Jiaqing He from the Department of Physics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) made great progress in SnSe based thermoelectric (TE) materials. Their results, entitled “Momentum and energy multi-band alignment enable power generation and thermoelectric cooling,” have been published in one of the most famous international journals, Science.

Recently, Prof. Haiping XIA from the Department of Chemistry at College of Science, SUSTech and Prof. Hsing-Lin Wang from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering made significant progress on the research of cathode interfacial materials (CIL) in perovskite solar cells (PSCs), leading to a publication in the Journal of American Chemical Society (JACS), which was also selected as the front cover.

Recently, the research group of Associate Professor Qihang Liu of the Department of Physics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has made substantial progress in the field of magnetic topological materials. Their research results were recently published in the top journal Nature Communications, entitled “Spectral signatures of the surface anomalous Hall effect in magnetic axion insulators”.
