innohk cityu
Three world-class research centres have been established by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) in collaboration with renowned scholars from all around the world and research institutes under InnoHK, a vital initiative of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to develop Hong Kong as a hub for global research collaboration.
transverse sound wave
Can you imagine sound travels in the same way as light does? A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both spin and orbital angular momentum like light does.
AI predicting synergistic cancer drug combinations
A research team led by a scholar from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) framework that can make synergistic anti-cancer drug combination predictions on both the therapeutic and toxic effects.
Piezoceramics with controllable curves
Functional piezoceramics can be used in sensors and actuators, yet brittleness of the material and its difficulty in shaping after fabrication have hindered its applications. A research led by a scientist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has proposed a pioneering and simple fabrication method that combined heat and gravity, to produce functional, curved piezoceramics in a controllable manner.
MXene
A collaborative research team led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently developed battery-like MXene electrodes with stable voltage output and high energy density by using a high-voltage scanning strategy. These latest findings may lead to a breakthrough in inventing the powerful battery of the next generation. “
3D printing
A research led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has successfully developed a super-strong, highly ductile and super-light titanium-based alloy using additive manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing.
enhances light conversion efficiency by over 100-times
A breakthrough has been made in enhancing second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency by over 100-times from a novel nanoscale optical resonator, according to a collaborative study by researchers at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and from UK.
photocatalysis
Green hydrogen production from solar water splitting has attracted a great deal of interest in recent years because hydrogen is a fuel of high energy density. A research team co-led by scholars from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and Germany discovered the quantum confinement effect in a photocatalyst of a 3D-ordered macroporous structure.
a.b
Microbiologists and chemists from two universities in Hong Kong recently made a breakthrough in synthesizing the first vaccine against one of the most deadly antimicrobial resistant pathogens, Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii).
liquid directional steering
Inspired by a kind of tree leaf, scientists at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered that the spreading direction of different liquids deposited on the same surface can be steered, solving a challenge that has remained for over two centuries.
