There are only four APT laboratories in China but not a single one south of the Yangtze River. That means CityU’s APT Lab is pretty special for the study of nanostructures in advanced materials. And it is even more special because CityU’s APT technology produces data faster, cheaper and more efficiently than any other models. Professor C.T. Liu, IAS Senior Fellow and an expert in new materials, shared his insights on advanced materials.

Professor Park Nam-gyu from the School of Chemical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea delivered the latest installment of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) Distinguished Lecture Series at City University Hong Kong on 11 June. At the lecture, titled “Lead Halide Perovskite: Photovoltaics and Beyond”, Professor Park said a universal method and interfacial nano-engineering had been developed to eliminate hysteresis, which is the lag in response exhibited in a body when reacting to forces affecting it.

Since its founding in 2015, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), based at the City University of Hong Kong (CityU), has offered academics and students an innovative, intellectual platform to encourage and foster groundbreaking science research.

Professor Pierre-Louis Lions, Senior Fellow of HKIAS and Professor at the prestigious ColIège de France in Paris, will receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Science from the University of Chicago. The award ceremony will be held on 15 June 2019.

International experts and scholars explored One Health in relation to university–industry collaboration in medical technology and beyond at the 12th QS WorldClass conference hosted by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and QS Asia, a prestigious international institute.
