While the consequences of climate change have begun to take their toll, global energy demand has grown at the fastest pace ever in the past decade. Exploring renewable energy alternatives has therefore become more pressing than ever. A recent study led by researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a new triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) using a slippery surface to enhance energy harvesting efficiency. The findings may open up a new avenue for the design of energy harvesting devices with better stability and durability.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove gastrointestinal tumours, is sufficient for treating early-stage CRC patients who are at low risk for developing lymph-node metastasis (LNM), the current risk-stratification criteria based on post-endoscopic pathological examination tend to overestimate the degree of risk. A new biomarker was developed by a joint research team to detect LNM in patients with T1 CRC more accurately.
