Visible light is an ultimately green energy source, so it is crucial to develop efficient chemical transformation using visible light catalysis. Recently, Associate Professor Wei Shu’s group at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has made a series of developments in the field of visible-light catalyzed selective transformations.

Recently, the research team of Professor Xiaofei Chen from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) made progress in the study of the source process of low-frequency earthquakes (LFEs). The results were published in Nature Communications, entitled “The slow self-arresting nature of low-frequency earthquakes.”

Recently, Associate Professor Qihang Liu’s team from the Department of Physics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) collaborated with scientists from the Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center (HiSOR) at Hiroshima University to reveal the spin-momentum-layer locking nature of centrosymmetric crystals.

Recently, the research group of Professor Xiaofei Chen from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) published two geophysical exploration results on the East Antarctic region. The first paper, entitled “Measurement of ice flow velocities from GPS positions logged by short-period seismographs in East Antarctica,” was published in Science China-Earth Sciences.

Recently, Professor Chuang-Chuang Li’s group from the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) first reported a type II intramolecular (3+2) dipolar cycloaddition reaction for the syntheses of various bridged bicyclo[m.n.2] ring systems. This method was used as a key step accomplishment of asymmetric total synthesis of natural product nakafuran-8. The computational study was carried out to explore the regioselectivity, chemoselectivity, and diastereoselectivity of type II (3+2) cycloaddition.

Recently, Associate Professor Junhao Lin’s research group from the Department of Physics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has published their researches about the large-scale lossless lattice characterization of water-oxygen sensitive 2D materials in Advanced Science. Their paper was entitled “Direct Visualization of large-scale Intrinsic Atomic Lattice Structure and Its Collective Anisotropy in Air-sensitive Monolayer 1T’-WTe2.”
