The future of satellite design could be revolutionised by a smart coating that is thinner than paint but can regulate the temperature of a device in orbit

A Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)-led research team has developed a novel cell sensor with a barcode-like micro-channel structure that enables rapid and low-cost screening of drug-resistant bacteria. The low-cost invention could potentially be used to screen food and water, as well as urgent samples during an infectious disease outbreak. 

A comprehensive meta-analysis conducted by scientists at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has found a significant association between exposure to PM2.5, fine particulates of less than 2.5 microns, and neurological disorders such as stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. Neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide, posing serious challenges to global health.

Biologists from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) have discovered in Hong Kong waters a new species of hard coral and two new species of nudibranch, a type of marine mollusc, that have never been identified anywhere else in the world. 

Researchers from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) have developed a novel targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that uses a specially-designed nano-carrier to deliver the Chinese medicine compound gambogic acid (GA). The invention enhances the anti-cancer effect of GA and reduces its damage to off-target organs, and it could become a more effective therapeutic option for TNBC.

An art-tech research project led by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has received HK$52.8 million ($6.8 million) in research funding from the Research Grants Council (RGC) in Hong Kong. This is the first time that major funding has been allocated by the RGC for an art-tech project.

A study led by Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has revealed that different degrees of exposure to a common industrial chemical called bisphenol S (BPS) are associated with the growth and deterioration of breast tumours in mice.

BPS is used in paper products and plastic food and drink containers. It was introduced to replace bisphenol A (BPA), which has previously been linked to metabolic disease and an increased risk of breast cancer.

In the next in a series of student surveys, THE Consulting asked students about the importance of sustainability and how green goals can be achieved
