Recently, a research team from the School of Resources, Environment and Materials developed a new lead-free sodium–potassium-niobate piezoelectric material with an ultra-low driving electric field and a giant electrostrain coefficient. Its performance surpasses today’s mainstream lead-based piezoelectric systems and shows great potential for use in high-precision micro-devices.The study, titl...

Recently, a review article entitled “Expanding the plant epigenetic code: histone short-chain acylation” was published in the international journal Trends in Plant Science by the research team led by Xu Qiutao and Zhang Jisen from the School of Agriculture. The article systematically elaborates on the functional mechanisms of histone short-chain acylation. Wei Xuelu, a PhD candidate at the Sc...

Recently, the Animal Reproductive Regulation and Genetic Improvement Team of the School of Animal Science and Technology has achieved new progress in the research of bovine skeletal muscle development. The study uncovers how epigenetic regulation and cellular mechanobiology jointly control the differentiation of bovine muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and the mechanism of muscle development. The findi...

Recently, the research group led by Prof. Xu Qiutao and Prof. Zhang Jisen from the School of Agriculture published a perspective review titled “The emerging epitranscriptomic modification ac4C regulates plant development and stress adaptation” in the internationally renowned journal Nature Plants. Yao Jiayu, a PhD candidate from the School of Agriculture, is the first author of the article, a...

Recently, Associate Professor Hu Dandan and Professor Song Xingju from the Animal Parasitic Disease Control Team at the School of Animal Science and Technology of Guangxi University have made significant progress in the study of zoonotic toxoplasmosis. Their research findings, entitled "Toxoplasma gondii chromatin remodeler SWI/SNF controls parasite division and gene expression," have been publ...

Recently, the Electrochemical Energy Materials team from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in GXU has made significant progress in the field of electrocatalytic urea oxidation. Their research findings have been published in Advanced Energy Materials under the title "Regulating the Competitive Adsorption of Urea and OH− via Brønsted Base Intercalated Nickel Sites for Highly Selec...
