The deep carbon cycle is better understood now, thanks for cutting-edge research led by scholars at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). It provides a better insight into how carbon is stored in the deep interior of the Earth, helping other researchers in their understanding of a wide range of other research fields.

The first total synthesis of a bioactive natural product could lead to improved anti-inflammatory drugs in the future, thanks to research led by Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).

Researchers at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) have made significant progress in engineering novel alloy nanomaterials. Their research opens up an effective strategy for boosting catalytic reactions by creating atom-doped amorphous oxide surfaces derived from novel bimetallic alloys, further enhancing opportunities for the conversion of greenhouse gases to renewable fuels.

Research conducted by biological scientists at College of Science, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and Nanjing Agricultural University (NJAU) has found a new regulatory mechanism for plant photomorphogenesis.

Research led by the Shenzhen Institute of Quantum Science and Engineering (SIQSE) and the Department of Physics has seen significant experimental progress in d​etecting the quantum phase transitions with out-of-time-ordered correlations (OTOC). Their research outcomes were published in the high-impact academic journal, Physical Review Letters (PRL) (IF =8.39).

In current energy cycle systems, more than 60% of energy is dissipated as waste heat. Low-grade and low-quality heat make up 50% of total waste heat. Thermoelectric (TE) technology can effectively gather and re-use low-temperature waste heat due to its ability to direc​t converting heat into electricity or vice versa. Researchers at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) have continued to improve thermoelectricity.
