Recently, Professor Feng He’s group from the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) made advances in device architecture, polymer photovoltaic materials, and the interface engineering of Organic Solar Cells (OSCs). Several high-quality papers were published in renowned journals such as Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, and Joule, boosting the development of OSCs.

Recently, Professor Hai-Zhou Lu’s group from the Department of Physics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) published two works in Physical Review Letters (PRL). Their papers, entitled “Theory for Magnetic-Field-Driven 3D Metal-Insulator Transitions in the Quantum Limit” and “Field-tunable one-sided higher-order topological hinge states in Dirac semimetals,” goes into detail on progress made in magnetic-field-driven 3D metal-insulator transitions and higher-order topological insulators.

Recently, Professor Chuang-Chaung Li’s group from the Department of Chemistry at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) published a review article in the academic journal Chemical Society Reviews, entitled “Synthesis of natural products containing highly strained trans-fused bicyclo[3.3.0]octane: historical overview and future prospects.”

Zhi-Fang Xu' s team observed a global chiral atomic superfluid with topological excitations induced by interaction in an optical lattice similar to hexagonal boron nitride. The research published on Nature entitled “Evidence for an atomic chiral superfluid with topological excitations".

Recently, a joint research team headed by Associate Professor Ding Zhang and Professor Qi-Kun Xue has managed to determine the pairing symmetry of a copper oxide superconductor. By fabricating ultrathin Josephson junctions with atomically flat interfaces, they found clear evidence for dominant s-wave pairing in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x, which overturns the mainstream view of purely d-wave superconductivity in the same compound.

Recently, the team led by Professor Jiaqing He from the Department of Physics at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) made great progress in SnSe based thermoelectric (TE) materials. Their results, entitled “Momentum and energy multi-band alignment enable power generation and thermoelectric cooling,” have been published in one of the most famous international journals, Science.
