[Sponsored article] Knowledge transfer has long been a strong DNA strand of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) that strives to bring together teaching, research, and real-life application as its core missions.

[Sponsored article] Research teams at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have been involved in many ground-breaking projects. But it’s the university’s contribution to space exploration that has captured the public’s imagination.

Fingerprinting is a unique way of identifying people with a history stretching back 2,000 years. 

Hong Kong's abundant solar energy and rooftop capacity are ideal for solar photovoltaic energy generation, a PolyU study has found.

Professor Alexander Wai, PolyU Vice President (Research Development) says whether researching pioneering fibre optic railway technologies, investigational new drugs (IND), robotics or food safety, the goal is always to advance the frontiers of knowledge while enhancing the well-being of the local, mainland and international community.

[Sponsored article] Having outstanding photovoltaic properties, perovskite solar cells have become the subject of vigorous research for sustainable power generation, with researchers around the world finding new ways to increase the cells’ energy conversion efficiency. Perovskite is now established as one of the most promising solar cell materials.

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU)’s proprietary optical fibre sensing technology in monitoring railway has been adopted overseas, for the first time, in metro lines in Singapore.

At 1:11pm on the afternoon of 14 December 2013, Chang’e-3 touched down gently on the surface of the moon at Sinus Iridum, the “Bay of Rainbows”.

PolyU researchers have developed a novel big data platform for analysing gene interactions in cancer, which was not possible in previous observation.

The PolyU-developed novel inhibitor Apigenin Flavonoid Dimer, which can be used for overcoming multidrug resistance in cancer cells, has been licensed for the development of oral versions of more effective cancer drugs.

Drawing on expertise developed and insights gained from designing precision tools for space exploration, a PolyU team has engineered the revolutionary internally motorised minimally invasive robotic system for single-incision or incision-less surgery.

PolyU's breakthrough makes low-cost, super-fast data transmission a reality, opening a new era for Big Data and the Internet of Things.
