Unveiling the Secret of Viruses-Bacteria interactions in Man-made Environments
06 Jul 2023
Viruses in man-made environments cause public health concerns, but they are generally less studied than bacteria. A recent study led by environmental scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) provided the first evidence of frequent interactions between viruses and bacteria in man-made environments.
CityU awarded invention: Soft, ultrathin photonic material cools down wearable electronic devices
29 Jun 2023
A research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) invented a photonic material-based “soft, ultrathin, radiative-cooling interface” that greatly enhances heat dissipation in devices, with temperature drops more than 56°C, offering an alternative for effective thermal management in advanced wearable electronics
CityU physicist develops a novel quantum theory of light-induced matter, opening the door to cutting-edge optical technologies
23 Jun 2023
A team led by a physicist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently developed a new quantum theory that explains the “light-induced phase” of matter and predicts its novel functionalities.
CityU researchers invent a low-temperature synthesis method for high-quality tellurium nanomesh for next-generation electronics
15 Jun 2023
A collaborative team led by researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) recently invented an innovative method for synthesizing high-quality, semiconducting nanomesh at a lower temperature and production cost than conventional methods. The findings will help enable the large-scale production of nanomesh for next-generation electronics.
