University of Hong Kong researchers used quantum many-body computation to identify novel electronic phases in 2D flat-band materials. These materials will be the focus of a forthcoming Croucher Advanced Study Institute.
This year, the Foundation awarded 37 brilliant young scientists with scholarship and fellowship opportunities and 4 innovation awards across diverse disciplines and prestigious institutions.
Hong Kong researchers develop PUA-DEM model integrating particle, air, and water dynamics to predict landslides and optimise industrial applications.
Part 2 of our interview with Professor David Baker, interim director of SWIMS, looks at the institute’s research into the global marine sediment microbiome and its marine ecosystem restoration efforts.
Hong Kong researchers on China's 41st Antarctic expedition discovered unexpected vegetation growth and pollution levels, as well as international collaboration opportunities, while studying climate change.
Hong Kong scientists create an oxygen-driven membrane that rapidly removes persistent phenolic pollutants, offering a safer, energy-free water purification method.
Hong Kong researchers discover overactive protein disrupts normal liver fat processing, allowing cancer cells to use accumulated fat for rapid growth.
The first of twelve immersive explorations of jellyfish in Hong Kong waters.
A monthly series of posts aims not only to inspire awareness about jellyfish and their crucial role in the seas around us, but also appreciation for their otherworldly beauty.
Part 1 of our interview with Professor David Baker, interim director of SWIMS, looks at the institute's efforts to monitor the effects of climate change and human activity on Hong Kong’s biodiversity.
The technology could reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining efficiency comparable to existing commercial systems without requiring problematic refrigerants.
University of Hong Kong creates bird-inspired drone achieving 45mph through unmapped forests using LIDAR sensors and dual-trajectory safety systems.
Research reveals soil nitrous acid emissions have increased 22% since 1980, accelerating ozone pollution and affecting crop production worldwide.
New findings show that fundamental mechanisms of stem cell biology predate the evolution of multicellular organisms.
University’s biodiversity museum champions overlooked species, challenging research bias favouring charismatic vertebrates while showcasing Hong Kong's rich but understudied wildlife diversity.
The young scientists had a special opportunity to talk in depth with Sir Gregory Winter, 2018 Nobel Prize winner for chemistry and chairman of Noel Croucher Foundation.
Magnetic robots created from patients' blood to deliver chemotherapy directly to inaccessible brain tumours.
Around 15 species of groupers are found around Hong Kong, but eDNA sampling fails to confirm the presence of the once abundant Hong Kong Grouper.
Scientists have identified precursor signals occurring months before major earthquakes in shale gas fields, enabling prevention strategies for human-induced seismic activity.
Scientists have observed the first room-temperature two-dimensional altermagnet, advancing quantum materials research for next-generation electronics applications.
