Energy – Anytime, Anywhere

A research team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed a novel moisture-activated electricity generator (MEG) that generates electricity in an environmentally-friendly way, just utilising moisture from the air. And, unlike most current MEGs, the...

Powering Hong Kong’s Healthtech Ambitions

The field of biomedical engineering is developing rapidly thanks to recent advances in AI, advanced materials and personalised medicine. HKU has provided an undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering for more than two decades. Now, that commitment is being...

Dream Big, Start Small, Learn Fast

When Professor Chui Chun-kit was an undergraduate, he realised there had to be a better way to learn than passively listening to lectures and absorbing information. This realisation inspired him to become a university professor, determined to transform the learning...

A Better Way to Share

‘The more data you have, the better the result’ is an idea that underpins AI and machine learning. By collecting huge amounts of data, it becomes possible to discern patterns and make accurate predictions or decisions. But that approach often fails to consider that...

Brain Waves

The key innovation in this research is to showcase that memristor devices can accomplish real-time co-evolution between brain signals and hardware decoders. In simple terms, it is like creating a learning partnership where both the user’s brain and the memristor-based...
