  • SYSU team achieves breakthrough in lunar laser ranging

    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...

  • SYSU’s Feiniao spearheads intelligent agriculture in lychee orchards

    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 ...

  • SYSU team uncovers hidden risk of low-carb cancer diets: fostering lung metastasis

    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....

  • SYSU team develops unconventional entangled quantum light sources with near-unity fidelity

    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...

  • SYSU researchers uncover key protein regulating cell membrane fragility under mechanical strain

    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...

  • World Food Safety Day|SYSU researchers decode hidden micro-/nanoplastics risks in daily food

    On June 7, the global community observes World Food Safety Day under the theme "Food safety: science in action", highlighting science as key to food safety. Co-led by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations, the observance emphasizes the role of scientific knowledge in preventing foodborne illnesses. By putting science into pract...
