The new coin-sized device was created by a multidisciplinary team led by Hong Kong University and could lead to more effective and user-friendly glucose monitoring.
The newly developed compound, 2,6-dichlorobenzoquinone, degrades rapidly in seawater, in contrast to the commonly used chloroxylenol, which is chemically more stable in water.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong was involved in the largest international study of its kind to assess the efficacy of time-lapse imaging (TLI) systems used in embryo incubation during in vitro fertilisation. It found TLI offered no advantages over conventional methods.
The new method of manufacture was inspired by diatoms, planktonic unicellular algae commonly found in aquatic environments.
Researchers from Hong Kong have found a previously undescribed way of producing structural colour in stingrays.
New research, led by a Croucher scholar, found a key role for a kappa opioid signalling pathway in regulating scar formation.
Dr Yi Yang from the University of Hong Kong is this year’s the sole winner from Hong Kong.
An update on the Ethnic Minority Well-Being Centre five years after it was founded.
New research involving physicists from the University of Hong Kong among others, increases our understanding of how to control magnetic properties of materials at very small scales, with potential applications in high-density data storage.
The new technology developed at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was inspired by the sperm of rays and may lead to enhanced precision in drug delivery.
Researchers in Hong Kong and Shanghai identified multiple Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in superconducting tin telluride. MZMs are quasiparticles that could lead to the building of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
The Medal was first awarded in 1731 and past winners include Dorothy Hodgkin, Albert Einstein, and Charles Darwin.
New technology created by researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology involves a chiral-structured interface for perovskite solar cells, which enhances their durability and efficiency.
Over the five days of the Academy, students enjoyed enjoy hands-on laboratory sessions, laboratory tours, “Meet the Expert” sessions, and roundtable discussions on career development in the field.
