A newly emerged superbug may cause untreatable and fatal infections in relatively healthy individuals

The Partner State Key Laboratory of Chirosciences at the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology (ABCT) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) discovered a newly emerged superbug, hyper-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae, which may cause untreatable and fatal infections in relatively healthy individuals and will pose enormous threat to human health. Prof. Chen

Fast virus detection using nanoparticles

A system composed of two different types of nanoparticles can be used to accurately, sensitively and quickly detect viruses. The earlier a viral infection is detected, the more effective the treatment. Currently available tests are accurate but require a long time and/or specialized personnel, which are not a given in many outbreak settings. To address

Flying the flag for an airship revolution

The rise of freight airships could go down like a lead balloon with traditional aircraft companies but could also represent a new high for Asian companies seeking to exploit new ways to reach world markets, according to research published in the International Journal of Aviation Management. Barry Prentice of the I.H. Asper School of Business,

Scientists have invented an easily breathable nanomask that can filter incredibly tiny particles, such as viruses and air pollutants

The novel mask, developed by Professor Wallace Leung of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, is made out of multiple layers of different types of nanofibres, which filter nanosized particles. Layering the nanofibres provides a large surface area, enhancing the natural movement of particles and their interception by the fibres. It also allows users to breathe

Low-cost, contactless and accurate 3D fingerprint identification system

Traditional fingerprint identification by pressing or rolling of finger against the hard surface often results in partial or degraded images due to improper finger placement, skin deformation, slippages, or smearing. Therefore touchless 3D finger imaging can provide more accurate personal identification as rich information is available from 3D fingerprint images. This project designs and develops

Cotton with special coating collects water from fogs in desert

What makes this ‘coated cotton’ so interesting is that the cotton releases the collected water by itself, as it gets warmer. Researchers TU/e together with researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), have developed a special treatment for cotton fabric that allows the cotton to absorb exceptional amounts of water from misty air: 340

A New Chapter for Chinese Medicine

The groundbreaking regime for herbal study and testing called quantitative-pattern-activity-relationship (“QPAR” in short) verifies the quality and health benefits of traditional herbs When comes to minor complaints, chronic conditions and even fatal illnesses, we often turn to ginseng and other herbal remedies. That is why traditional Chinese medicine has become an integral part of our
