The device integrates imaging, navigation, and therapeutic functions, solving what researchers term the "impossible trinity" in medical robotics: combining miniaturisation, precision, and multifunctionality.
An interview with Dr Cheng Wang of City University, winner of a 2020 Croucher Innovation Award.
An interview with Professor Jianwen Qiu and Dr Maeva Perez from Hong Kong Baptist University.
Ahead of this year’s planned publication of a new Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, Croucher Foundation interviewed Mr Tse Chi-wan, Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Hong Kong SAR government.
Inspired by fungi that eject spores using similar principles, the self-ejecting surface operates without external power and can be manufactured cost-effectively.
It was known that early pterosaurs possessed long, bony tails ending in a soft tissue 'vane,' but their function had long puzzled scientists—until a Hong Kong-led team shed light on the mystery.
This innovation could reduce recovery times for patients undergoing procedures such as knee replacements.
Hong Kong’s large community of experts from academia and the wider society has come together to produce a series of recommendations to future-proof the city’s rich ecology.
A conversation with Lucky Tsoi about her first impressions on starting her Croucher Science Communication Studentship.
Professor Dennis Lo assumed office as the ninth Vice-Chancellor and President of the Chinese University of Hong Kong on 8 January 2025.
The new technology uses maskless photolithography, which potentially offers greater flexibility in circuit design and reduced production costs.
The new touch detection system is inspired by structural colour in Morpho butterfly wings and detects and measures touch with remarkable precision.
The findings potentially establish a foundation for future research into exotic quantum physics beyond traditional condensed matter systems.
The new technology could accelerate drug development and support research into diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s.
This development may lead to advances in implantable medical sensors, tissue therapeutics, and wearable health monitoring devices.
This discovery could potentially enhance memory stability in electronic devices, improve computing speeds, and advance the development of quantum computing and spintronics.
The new technique, called edge-exposed exfoliation, is a step towards making diamond-based technologies more accessible for industrial applications.
