Poor sleep impairs the brain's waste-clearing mechanism, potentially increasing risks of cognitive decline, Hong Kong researchers have found.
Researchers find Earth-like chemical patterns on remote planet, but caution against premature conclusions about life signs.
Ecologists identify 2,000 hectares of degraded hillsides for forest restoration, offering carbon storage, flood control and biodiversity benefits for Hong Kong.
Research reveals how genetics and lifestyle factors influence diabetes treatment effectiveness, enabling doctors to customise therapeutic approaches for individual patients.
Scientists develop efficient brain interface using a memristor chip, achieving faster signal processing and improved accuracy for controlling external devices.
Hong Kong researchers develop AI-driven microscopy system that analyses cancer cells without fluorescent staining, cutting diagnostic costs while maintaining accuracy and speed.
Floating wetlands—artificial platforms planted with vegetation—could provide a sustainable solution for Hong Kong's urban water management while creating new habitats for wildlife.
New molecular system using rotaxanes enables detection of both positive and negative ions through single binding sites.
Hong Kong-led research suggests nitrogen compounds, not carbon, dominate how atmospheric particles absorb sunlight, challenging established climate modelling approaches.
Study of 131 year historical data shows Hong Kong's Eurasian otters face local extinction without urgent habitat protection
Professor Jensen Li's team combines quantum mechanics with ultra-thin engineered surfaces to create holograms, creating potential for advanced information security.
The new device can cool a room within 15 minutes while producing zero direct emissions, unlike conventional air conditioners that depend on climate-damaging refrigerants.
The new technology allows researchers to programme magnetic materials to conform to internal body surfaces and could improve medical treatment delivery.
Funded by the government’s Countryside Conservation Funding Scheme, WWF-Hong Kong is introducing ultrasonic sensors to monitor the water levels of the gei wai in real time.
The technique is applicable to a broad range of drugs, scalable for mass production, and uses biocompatible materials.
New research from Hong Kong reveals that African urban development is following patterns that differ from Western countries.
This new technology, developed in Hong Kong, could help in the study of embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and disease progression.
