Assistant Professor Jiashun Hu from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and his co-authors have reported their latest work proposing the lost plate in North Pacific, the Kronotsky Plate (KRO), which is the key to the puzzle. Their work, entitled “Dynamics of the abrupt change in Pacific Plate motion around 50 million years ago,” has been published in the high-impact academic journal Nature Geoscience.

On December 18, 2021, the 15th Wuxi AppTec Life Science and Chemistry Awards Ceremony was held online. Professor Chuang-Chuang LI from the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) received the award at the event for his outstanding contributions in the field of total synthesis of natural products.

Molecular reaction dynamics is the study of chemical and physical transformations of matter at the molecular level. Recently, scientists from China made substantial scientific progress in this area, by revealing the electronic angular momentum effect to a chemical reaction for the first time.

Recently, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) Professor Bin TAN’s team won the first prize of the Natural Science Award in Guangdong Province for its project “Asymmetric Axial Chiral Chemistry of Organic Catalysis”. It is one of 11 first prizes of Natural Science in the whole province, and also the first provincial science and technology award for the University.

During the lecture, Prof. Mingsheng Zhan introduced the achievement his research group has made in the rubidium single-atom array system in recent years, such as the realization of the collision of two-atom ground states in the single-atom quantum state control, and the long-lived coherent storage and transfer realized in magic light intensity dipole trap.

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.
