Correlation found between weather conditions and lower COVID-19 fatality rates: CityU research study
A correlation exists between the weather and humidity that patients are exposed to during different stages of COVID-19 infection and the probability of death, according to Dr Sean Yuan Hsiang-yu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at CityU, and PhD student Liang Jing-bo.
![Super-elastic high-entropy Elinvar alloy discovered with potential for aerospace engineering](/sites/g/files/asqsls3821/files/styles/crop_news_block_192_144/public/2022-02/220216-2_Yang.jpg?itok=bmeRcC7c)
A research team led by a CityU scholar and other researchers have discovered a first-of-its-kind super-elastic alloy that can retain its stiffness even after being heated to 1,000 K (about 727 ℃) or above, with nearly zero energy dissipation. The team believes that the alloy can be applied in manufacturing high-precision devices for space missions.
