The method uses droplet impact to lift dust from panels, helping conserve water while maintaining solar energy output.
Researchers used artificial intelligence to show how physical constraints dictate the flexibility, thermal stability and evolutionary tolerance of proteins.
Altogether, the Foundation is funding 32 new awardees this year, who join a community that helps nurture Hong Kong's science ecosystem
Researchers found liquid crystal display compounds in marine mammal organs, including brains, with possible effects on basic cellular processes.
Researchers discovered pterrespiramide A, a new fungal compound with an unusual ring structure, by scanning fungal genomes for defence genes.
Physicists are studying subtle patterns in cosmic maps to test inflation and search for signs of very early particles.
Researchers have created a highly conductive, single-crystal solid electrolyte that prevents degradation and improves safety in lithium metal batteries.
Hong Kong participants at the 75th Lindau meeting found fresh perspectives on research, collaboration and mentoring through cross-disciplinary exchanges.
Airborne DNA identified some market birds and protected species, suggesting a useful screening tool where direct inspection is limited.
Researchers linked early gut bacteria and gene-control patterns to later behavioural signs, while stressing that outcomes are not fixed.
Researchers created fast, durable artificial cilia that can be programmed to move fluids precisely at very small scales.
Garnet Chan’s election recognises his work in theoretical chemistry, condensed matter physics and quantum information theory.
Researchers modelled how PIEZO2 opens under membrane stretch, clarifying touch signalling and possible routes for pain-related treatments.
The system predicts sewage leaks and blockages, helping authorities target inspections, cleaning and repairs before failures cause overflows.
Researchers found that magnetic layers can generate friction at a distance, challenging a long-standing rule about surface contact.
Scientists show that vibrations can drive chemical reactions in water, generating hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide for future energy and water-treatment uses.
Researchers argue that cats offer underused natural models for studying cancer-causing viruses and improving health in animals and people.
Researchers adjusted laser power pixel by pixel to limit unintended neurone activation during combined brain imaging and stimulation experiments.
By learning only healthy anatomy, the system identifies tumours, strokes and artefacts, potentially catching lesions missed during routine reviews.
Simulations reveal that mussels channel charged proteins into shared contact zones, producing strong adhesive bonds within seconds rather than hours.
