Innovative findings on high entropy alloys for functional and structural applications led by the research team from the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) Materials Cluster at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) were featured in prestigious scientific journals, Nature and Nature Materials.

A research team led by scientists from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has recently designed a structured thermal armor (STA) that achieves efficient liquid cooling even over 1,000°C, fundamentally solving a 266-year-old challenge presented by the Leidenfrost effect. This breakthrough can be applied in aero and space engines, as well as improve the safety and reliability of next-generation nuclear reactors.

A growing body of research by some of the most promising CityU early-career researchers at the intersection of fast-developing fields in fundamental science was presented at the 2021 Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) Rising Star Lecture Series.

As a part of its mission to promote diversity in academia and put an international spotlight on the next generation of academic leaders, in 2021 the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) established the HKIAS Rising Star Lecture Series. Between September and November, 15 promising scholars from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) had the opportunity to present their recent accomplishments in five diverse fields: mathematics, chemistry, physics, materials science, and life sciences. Not only is HKIAS giving these researchers a platform to talk about their work, it is also nurturing their careers by offering grants to fund their research projects at CityU.

Running from September to November, 15 short-listed promising scholars at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) presented their latest work in five Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) Rising Star Lectures, focusing on mathematics, chemistry, physics, materials science, and life sciences.

As an integral part of their mission of championing cross-disciplinary ideas and their real-world potential, the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS) at CityU recently presented its Rising Star Lectures in an inperson and online hybrid mode. The lecture series covered five major fields in basic science, covering Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science and Life Sciences, and featured 15 short-listed scholars from CityU who had gone through a rigorous selection process.

The HKIAS Rising Star Lecture—Life Sciences was held at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and online on 24 November 2021 (Wednesday). Three emerging biomedical scientists addressed how fundamental research in the life sciences could potentially bring hope for patients.

A three-volume set of “Mathematical Elasticity” by Professor Philippe G. Ciarlet, a Senior Fellow of Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study at City University of Hong Kong (CityU), will be published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) in 2022.
