The bird flu virus that is spreading through American dairy cows can probably be traced back to a single spillover event. Late last year, scientists believe,...

September started with a typhoon that ripped through Hong Kong, uprooting trees and flooding the city. It was the first of a slew of extreme weather events...

A research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has achieved a groundbreaking advancement in nanomaterials by successfully developing a highly efficient electrocatalyst which can enhance the generation of hydrogen significantly through electrochemical water splitting.

Amid the global concern over the pollution of radioactive wastes in the ocean, The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), the City University of Hong Kong and The University of Hong Kong have conducted a cross-institutional study, which has found that "artificial mussels" (AMs) can effectively measure low concentrations of radionuclides in the sea. It is believed that this technology can be applied as a…

In a review led by Prof. Chunyi Zhi (City University of Hong Kong) and published in the journal Science China Chemistry, researchers focused on the current advances in the development of MOF/COF-based materials for ARZIBs, including the material design of MOFs/COFs, the storage mechanism of Zn2+ in MOFs/COFs, the use of MOFs/COFs to control the deposition behavior of Zn2+, and the use of MOFs/COFs as separators and…

(Bloomberg) -- Xi Jinping used two days of talks in Moscow to firmly align with Russia against the US. But the Chinese leader held back from offering...

The AlphaGo player was able to defeat an AI system.

Scientists in Korea have developed a biosensor that can detect multiple types of cancer from a small urine sample, with each strip costing less than a dollar.

Personalized wine lists. Tailored clothing options. Unique experiences just for you.

AI can now make sense of the messiest chicken scratch.

It works even better than the test you've got at home.

Gordon Tam, cofounder and CEO of vertical farming company Farm66, wants to show that agriculture—combined with technology—has a promising future in cities, deserts and even in outer space.

China's mountainous southwestern area is home to one of the country's most ethnically diverse populations. In the most comprehensive genetic analysis of the native people there to date, researchers reveal that the ethnic groups' peopling and migration history is more complex than previously concluded. The study appears April 26 in the journal Cell Reports.

A research has developed new, highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cells. The breakthrough invention is expected to greatly accelerate the commercialization of perovskite photovoltaic technology, providing a promising alternative to silicon solar cells.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), an emerging class of materials that can be used as semiconductors and insulators, have promising potential in various applications due to their unique properties. But the reliable production of these atomically thin 2D materials has been challenging. A research team led by a material scientist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed an…

Supercapacitors are emerging as alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, offering higher power densities and longer lifetimes (number of cycles where capacity is maintained). A supercapacitor is like a cross between a battery (with high energy storage) and a regular capacitor (with high power discharge).

Besides climate change, which is mostly the result of our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, plastic pollution stands as one of the most critical environmental concerns of this decade. The sheer quantity of discarded and misplaced plastic is dealing irreparable damage to Earth's ecosystems, affecting our crops and contaminating our water supplies. If we are to transition into truly sustainable societies, we need to…
