New progress made in research on mechanisms into plant photomorphogenesis

2020-07-23

Research conducted by biological scientists at College of Science, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and Nanjing Agricultural University (NJAU) has found a new regulatory mechanism for plant photomorphogenesis.

Researchers at College of Science Make Progress in Quantum Phase Transitions

2020-07-16

Research led by the Shenzhen Institute of Quantum Science and Engineering (SIQSE) and the Department of Physics has seen significant experimental progress in d​etecting the quantum phase transitions with out-of-time-ordered correlations (OTOC). Their research outcomes were published in the high-impact academic journal, Physical Review Letters (PRL) (IF =8.39).

Improved energy conversion efficiency for new thermoelectric materials

2020-06-28

In current energy cycle systems, more than 60% of energy is dissipated as waste heat. Low-grade and low-quality heat make up 50% of total waste heat. Thermoelectric (TE) technology can effectively gather and re-use low-temperature waste heat due to its ability to direc​t converting heat into electricity or vice versa. Researchers at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) have continued to improve thermoelectricity.

Novel method for medicinal chemistry skips heavy metals

2020-06-20

New research conducted by an international set of researchers may have found a new method of developing medical-grade chemical without using heavy metals. It could see drug development become cheaper, less dangerous, and better for the environment.

SUSTech chemical researchers make progress in biomimetic molecular recognition

2020-06-14

The development of molecular recognition technology that mimics nature has been progressed following a series of studies by researchers at Dept. of Chemistry, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).

Paradigm shift found on middle-age spread

2020-06-11

A centuries-old consensus on body weight regulation and middle-age spread may have just been broken by researchers at Dept. of Biology, College of Science. Their theory, called “leanocentric locking-point theory on fat mass homeostasis,” was published in iScience, a multidisciplinary journal from the Cell Press series.
