Recent research led by Department of Chemistry, Southern University of Science and Technology has possibly solved a long-held question that has thwarted chemists for generations: Where did the first molecule with chiral selectivity come from?

The understanding of how RNA interference works in conjunction with the stress response is improved with the research led by Chair Professor Hongwei Guo (Biology). The research is published on Nature (IF = 43.07).

Science fiction is one step closer to reality following new research from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) that could ultimately see three-dimensional holograms in every person’s home.

Organic solar cells are becoming increasingly efficient, and new developments by researchers at Department of Chemistry, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has seen a significant step forward in that area.

Light is not only the ultimate source of energy but is also one of the most critical environmental signals for plants. Plants must balance their need to grow with their need to survive through a variety of regulatory mechanisms, and research led by SUSTech scholars could indicate the role of a specific protein, called HY5 (Elongated Hypocotyls-5).

A joint team of top Shenzhen researchers has worked together to find a list of potential inhibitors of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Their cutting-edge work could find new purposes for existing medication while developing new drugs to potentially prevent infections from future coronavirus.
