The field of topological physics has seen a significant uptake in research efforts and interest in recent years. Kagome lattice materials have fascinated scientists for a long time because they provide a window into quantum phenomena such as geometrical frustration, topology, and strong correlations.

Jing XU, Professor of the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), received the Wuxi AppTec Life Science and Chemistry Award for his outstanding contribution in the field of total synthesis of bioactive caged natural products.

2D heterojunctions have attracted extensive attention for their interfacial coupling associated with unique electronic hybridization, band structure manipulation, interlayer excitons, as well as twisting effects. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising candidates for constructing 2D heterojunctions due to a broad selection of electronic properties and dangling-bond-free layered surfaces, which offers great flexibility for both vertical and lateral heterostructure integration.

The 11th Members’ Congress of the Chinese Geophysical Society (CGS) was recently held online, during which they held their 75th anniversary commemorative meeting and award ceremony.

Quantum computing has the potential to surpass classical computing in solving some problems, including database search, large number prime factorization, and other issues that are widely used in social life. In order to run a quantum algorithm on a specific quantum computing device, it is necessary to decompose the quantum algorithm into a sequence of basic quantum logic operations natively supported by the hardware.

On the evening of November 18, the Chinese Physical Society (CPS) celebrated its 90th anniversary at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).
