Associate Professor Jack Ng’s (Zihui Wu) group from the Department of Physics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has reported their latest work on the consequence of non-Hermiticity in optical trapping and binding. Their work, entitled “Non-Hermitian physics for optical manipulation uncovers inherent instability of large clusters,” was published in the high-impact academic journal Nature Communications.

Professor Zhiping Zheng’s group from the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has recently made a series of developments in the field of functionalization of rare earth nanomaterials. Their results have been published in high-level journals, such as CCS Chemistry, Nano Research, and Small.

Associate Professor Chuan He’s team from the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has published a breakthrough paper in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, one of the most impactful and prestigious journals in chemistry. Their research was entitled “Catalytic Enantioselective Construction of Chiroptical Boron-Stereogenic Compounds.” They looked at methods to access enantioenriched boron-stereogenic compounds through an asymmetric copper-catalyzed azide−alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction.

A key problem encountered in achieving the energy of controlled nuclear fusion is how to confine the high-temperature, high-density plasma within a limited range for a long enough time and make enough nuclear fusion reactions per unit of time. This is extremely important in fusion plasma physics research.

Chair Professor Xueming Yang in the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and Professor Xingan Wang at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) were invited to write a perceptive on stereodynamics and quantum interference phenomena in molecular collisions.

Associate Professor Jian Yang’s group from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and Professor Jun Cui’s group from the School of Atmospheric Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University have recently made a series of significant progress on the auroral research. Their resulting three papers have been published in Geophysical Research Letters, a leading Natural Index journal in the field of Earth Sciences.
