News and Achievements

A research team led by Professor Paul Chu Kim-ho, a materials engineering expert at City University of Hong Kong (CityU), has developed a capacitive coating that kills bacteria when it is charged with electricity. When applied to orthopedic implants such as artificial joints and dental implants, the novel technology can reduce the risk of infection after surgery and help patients recover more quickly.

Breakthrough technologies developed by a materials engineer and his team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) hold great promise for effective cancer treatment and energy saving.Both applications were developed based on the study of photoluminescence and light scattering mechanisms, as well as the plasmonic properties of micro-nanostructures.

A renowned scholar in neutron scattering at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has been elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). He is the only scholar elected from Hong Kong this year.
