A new study led by Professor Zhangcai Qin from the School of Atmospheric Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) has offered a more realistic assessment of the potential of forestation in combating climate change. Published in the prestigious journal Science, the research is the first to quantify global soil carbon sequestration capacity during forest restoration.The study also pioneers a new...
Recently, researchers from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) successfully detected laser echoes from the Next Generation Lunar Retroreflector-1(NGLR-1), making China the 4th country (after France, Germany and the United States) to achieve this feat.At 12:37 am (Beijing Time) on August 13, Xida Han and Xianlin Wu from SYSU’s Tianqin Laser Ranging Station, together with their team, detected laser ec...
In Baqiao Village, Genzi Town, Gaozhou City of Maoming, Guangdong Province, local lychee grower Liu monitors his orchard’s condition from his phone. Behind this seemingly simple gesture lies the powerful support of the Feiniao Smart Agriculture System, developed by the School of Geography and Planning at Sun Yat-sen University. Tailored to the specific conditions of Liu’s orchard, the system ...
The research team led by Professor Dongming Kuang and Associate Professor Yuan Wei from the School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, has made a groundbreaking discovery regarding tumor treatment strategies. Their study systematically revealed for the first time that dietary or therapeutic strategies aiming to "starve" tumors by restricting sugar intake may carry counterproductive risks....
A study led by Professors Xuehua Wang and Jin Liu from the School of Physics at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) presented a novel cavity-induced spontaneous two-photon emission (STPE) scheme, taking the lead internationally in achieving spontaneous two-photon emission with intensity comparable to that of single-photon emission. Published in Nature on July 9, 2025, this work enables the generation...
The research team led by Jie Xu, a researcher from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University published an article titled “NINJ1 regulates plasma membrane fragility under mechanical strain” in Nature on June 9. In collaboration with researchers from Rutgers University, the team developed the world's first high-throughput mechanical tension stimulation system and employed it to id...
