After three years of battling the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning has become more and more popular, promoting the development of innovative educational approaches. Dr. Han Dongkun and his team designed and assembled 12 robotic arms from scratch to form the “Flipped online laboratory”, a new pedagogical approach to eLearning that allows students to use cross-platform […]
Multi-material 3D fabrication at nanoscale has been the holy grail of nanotechnology and a key enabler for the development of new technologies, including photonic, electronic, and biomedical devices. Professor Chen Shih-Chi and his team, in collaboration with Professor Zhao Yongxin from Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Biological Sciences and Professor Zhao Ni from CUHK’s Department […]
The research of Professor Li Zhang on magnetic slime robot has been selected as Top 10 Innovation and Technology News in Hong Kong in 2022. The magnet particles in the slime give it conductivity and the capability to change its shape to navigate through narrow tubes and complex mazes, self-heal and grab objects driven by […]
With Hong Kong’s construction industry plagued by manpower shortages over the past few years, safety has never been more important. As a first, a research team led by Professor Darwin Lau Tat Ming has developed a cable-driven robot which accurately mimics human movement to clean building windows and paint facades. The system is expected to replace […]
Professor Liao Wei-Hsin has received the China Top Cited Paper Award by IOP Publishing for his research paper that is among the most influential articles from China. IOP Publishing selected the papers from across the entire IOP Publishing journal portfolio within the past three years (2019-21), recognising the top 1% of most cited papers in […]
Otitis media is an inflammation or infection located in the middle ear. It is a health problem commonly seen in children, usually caused by upper respiratory infections or bacterial infections. Some patients with fluid build-up, or effusion, need to the undergo the surgical procedure of, inserting a tympanostomy tube (also known as an ear tube […]
When Professor Chen Shih-Chi and his team started to develop a new precision tissue-cutting machine for pathological research seven years ago, one of the first things they experimented with was tofu. “In the beginning, we couldn’t find any soft tissues for cutting, and we didn’t have an animal licence for experiments. We went to the […]
Congratulations to CUHK’s robotics team for receiving the Grand Prix Award at the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union’s Asia-Pacific Robot Contest (ABU Robocon), which was held online on 21 August. It was the second time CUHK took the award and is a testament to CUHK’s top-level robotics and innovation education. The CUHK robotics team was selected to […]
Luquos Energy, a start-up incubated by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), won the Bronze Award in the TERA-Award Smart Energy Innovation Competition organised by the Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) and State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC). Out of 208 projects from 23 countries and regions, Luquos Energy’s “Safe and Low-cost […]
