Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) is proud to announce that it has had its first faculty member invited to take part in a Ministry of Natural Resources expedition to Antarctica. Department of Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) Research Assistant Professor Fu Lei was invited to take part in the 36th Antarctic Expedition from November 17 to February 10.

There is significant research into new materials for fuel cells that directly electro-oxidize formic acid into carbon dioxide, but the development of high noble metal mass‐normalized activity and long‐term stability catalysts remain a significant challenge for the commercialization of direct liquid fuel cells.

With research into solar cells booming across the world, it has become critical to find new and innovative ways to maximize their efficiency in commercially viable ways. Improving their ability to convert sunlight into energy is vital to improving their effectiveness for society.

The synthesis of natural products that feature good biologically active applications have been the source of significant research, but their often congested organic structures make their chemical synthesis extremely challenging.

It is well known that elementary particles such as fermions and bosons play an important role in our study of the universe.

The role of organic chemistry in commercial and industrial applications is well known, but the importance of asymmetric carbon bond coupling is far less known.
