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.

Recently, Dapeng Yu’s group (Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology) and Xiong-Jun Liu’s group (ICQM Peking University), together with Jiangong You’s group (Chern Institute of Mathematics, Nankai University) proposed a class of exactly solvable quasiperiodic mosaic models to realize mobility edges (MEs) which can be arbitrary even number in the energy spectra, depending on the parameter.

The biological study of highly strained natural products with significant phytotoxic, antibiotic, and apoptotic activity and anticancer function has been a major challenge for decades due to its natural scarcity. Recently, SUSTech Prof. LI Chuang-Chuang’s group at Department of Chemistry achieved the first total synthesis of a rare and highly strained natural product
