Recently, Dapeng Yu’s group from the Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering, Southern University of Science and Technology and Xiong-Jun Liu’s group from the International Center for Quantum Materials, Peking University, have proposed to realize and detect the non-ergodic critical phases, a fundamental phase, in optical Raman lattices for the first time.

Researchers at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) have made significant progress in magnetic topological materials. The scientists elucidate an unprecedented hybridization effect between the building blocks of the topological surface states and reveal the termination-dependent time-reversal symmetry breaking in a magnetic topological insulator.

Recently, Qiu Shi Science & Technology Foundation announced the “Outstanding Young Scholar Award” winner list in 2020, with 12 scholars winning the prize. Tiangang YANG, assistant professor of the Chemistry Department is one of the 2020 award laureates.

Recently, the 2020 Macao Science and Technology Award ceremony was held in Macao Cultural Center. Xin LIU, the first doctoral student jointly trained by SUSTech and the University of Macau, won the “Science and Technology Award – Scientific and Technological R&D Award for Postgraduates,” which is the first time that the student of SUSTech has won the overseas science and technology award.

Based on hydrogen bonding and ion-pairing interactions, Prof. Xumu Zhang’s team developed a series of noncovalent interaction-assisted chiral ferrocenyl phosphine ligands. This catalytic mode can achieve transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation and other transformations with remarkable reactivity and selectivity.

Recently, a group led by Prof. Kedong Wang(Associate Professor, Department of Physics, SUSTech) cooperated with Prof. Fangfei Ming (Sun Yat-sen University) and Prof. Hanno H. Weitering (The University of Tennessee), have made significant progress in the field of superconductivity.
