Research Stories
Edge-breaking research efforts by faculty members from the College of Science (CSCI) contributed in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
CSCI scholars in collaboration with researchers from the Chinese Mainland, has discovered that liquid crystal monomers from household electronics and electronic waste can bioaccumulate in marine life.
As technology continues its rapid advancement, it has become an integral part of our daily life. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Indra and Harry Banga Gallery of City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) proudly presents its latest exhibition, titled “Prototyping:”
Sharing insights on tackling the world's most challenging environmental issues was top of the agenda for researchers and partners from City University of Hong Kong at the Global Sustainable Development Summit (GSDC) 2025 in Istanbul, Türkiye, from 16 to 19 June.
A prestigious new programme titled “Fostering Innovation for Resilience and Sustainable Transformation” (FIRST) spearheaded by CityUHK has been officially endorsed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). CSCI faculty members involved in this institutional initiative will play pivotal roles in the success of the FIRST Programme.
A new fabrication technique for substantially enhancing the prospects of commercialising perovskite solar cells through improved stability, reliability, efficiency and affordability is underway at CityUHK.
CityUHK research team addressed a challenge for scientists for over a decade with creative material science solutions. The team demonstrated an effective strategy to enhance the long-term stability of perovskite-organic tandem solar cells, which can be mass-produced at a speed comparable to newspaper printing, with a daily output of up to 1,000 solar panels.
