Sunlight is essential for public health. A new study measures how cloud cover and tall buildings reduce the amount of sunlight exposure in cities.
The new coin-sized device was created by a multidisciplinary team led by Hong Kong University and could lead to more effective and user-friendly glucose monitoring.
The newly developed compound, 2,6-dichlorobenzoquinone, degrades rapidly in seawater, in contrast to the commonly used chloroxylenol, which is chemically more stable in water.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong was involved in the largest international study of its kind to assess the efficacy of time-lapse imaging (TLI) systems used in embryo incubation during in vitro fertilisation. It found TLI offered no advantages over conventional methods.
The new method of manufacture was inspired by diatoms, planktonic unicellular algae commonly found in aquatic environments.
New research involving physicists from the University of Hong Kong among others, increases our understanding of how to control magnetic properties of materials at very small scales, with potential applications in high-density data storage.
The new technology developed at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology was inspired by the sperm of rays and may lead to enhanced precision in drug delivery.
Researchers in Hong Kong and Shanghai identified multiple Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in superconducting tin telluride. MZMs are quasiparticles that could lead to the building of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
New technology created by researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology involves a chiral-structured interface for perovskite solar cells, which enhances their durability and efficiency.
A new quantum microprocessor chip has led to simulations of actual large, complex molecular structures that are beyond conventional computing.
Researchers in Hong Kong have created a new world record with their refinement of solid-state elastocaloric refrigeration technology.
The findings are part of a wider study to improve understanding of common infant diseases and provide intervention strategies.
A team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has created full-colour fibre light-emitting diodes (Fi-LEDs) which are highly flexible and waterproof.
The new robotic textile developed in Hong Kong could keep inner surface temperatures at least 10°C cooler than conventional heat-resistant clothing.
The new method uses diffusion model algorithms to enhance low-quality electron microscopy images, preventing blurriness and maintaining the clarity essential for detailed structural studies.
A new study from the University of Hong Kong, the first of its kind, sheds light on the distribution patterns of these ecologically dominant insects.
A new study carried out by researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology addresses the long-standing issue of stability in perovskite solar cells.
