University of Hong Kong researchers developed two deep-learning methods that improved mutation detection in long-read cancer and RNA sequencing data.
Astronomers may have found the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole destroying a white dwarf, a class of event not previously observed.
Ring-shaped molecules embedded in a porous material improve ion flow and battery stability, keeping capacity high after hundreds of charge cycles.
Croucher scholar finds that proteins can randomly misfold into different disease-causing forms, potentially explaining Parkinson's disease variability and conflicting laboratory results.
A new compound selectively disrupts a gene-activating protein complex in non-small cell lung cancer, reducing tumour growth and metastasis in laboratory models.
Astronomers have found that some fast radio bursts originate in binary star systems, revising long-held assumptions about the sources of these signals.
Researchers at Hong Kong Polytechnic University have created hair-thin magnetic fibres that can be woven into fabrics capable of changing stiffness and shape reversibly.
New research reveals that urban greenery can sometimes warm rather than cool cities, challenging assumptions about climate-smart city planning.
University of Hong Kong researchers made soft hydrogel transistors that work through thicker materials, helping electronics better match living tissue.
