With strong adhesion that lets it stick firmly to the bases of various materials for their protection, the new CityU coating can rapidly heal itself from damage and mechanical defects, and can thus enhance the durability of, for example, medical and aerospace... https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/cutting-edge-research/article/3050926/world-first-coating-developed-city?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/cutting-edge-research/article/3050926/world-first-coating-developed-city?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 17 Feb 2020 16:00:07 +0000 [Sponsored Article] A research team from the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management (SEEM) at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed the world’s first non-destructive-testing based inspection system that can detect corrosion in buried and wall-covered pipes.  The system, which detects wall-covered corrosion within an inaccuracy rate of less than 2.1%, combines ultrasonic guided wave (GW) technology with an innovative GW sensor designed by the CityU team as well... https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/hong-kong/topics/cutting-edge-research/article/3006753/pioneering-inspection-system?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/hong-kong/topics/cutting-edge-research/article/3006753/pioneering-inspection-system?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 24 Apr 2019 09:37:52 +0000 [Sponsored Article] A novel tiny, soft robot with caterpillar-like legs capable of carrying heavy loads and adaptable to adverse environments has been developed by a research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU). The mini delivery-robot could pave the way for medical technology advances, such as drug delivery in the human body. The highly agile milli-robot is able to leap over 10 times its leg length. Thanks to its multi-leg design, which helps reduce friction significantly, the... https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/hong-kong/topics/cutting-edge-research/article/3003246/tiny-soft-robot-multi-legs?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/news/hong-kong/topics/cutting-edge-research/article/3003246/tiny-soft-robot-multi-legs?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 29 Mar 2019 03:16:12 +0000
