A research team led by scientists from the HKUST has revealed how secondary structure RNA elements control the cleavage activity of the DICER enzyme in both pre-miRNA and short-hairpin RNAs, improving the understanding of the DICER cleavage mechanism and providing a foundation for the design of accurate and efficient short-hairpin RNAs for gene-silencing.
香港科技大学(科大)今天推出首个互动海洋环境影像化平台WavyOcean,覆盖包括粤港澳大湾区海域,整个中国海、以及西太平洋水域。平台将促进海洋研究工作,并为包括明日大屿等重要政策提供宝贵的数据,以使政策制订者能于海洋保育和社会发展之间取得平衡。
Researchers at the HKUST and the University of Chicago (UChicago) have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for logic operations using a kind of soft material called liquid crystal, paving the way for a completely novel way of performing computations with potential applications in robotics.
A research team led by LIFS Assoc. Prof. Tom CHEUNG has discovered the constructive role of a protein in driving the skeletal muscle stem cell activation to repair muscle following damage, laying the foundation for further study in the mechanisms of stem cell quiescence-to-activation transition and stem cell-based muscle regeneration.
粤语中有「我食盐多过你食米」一说。虽然言者未必有意听者亦无须太认真,但这句俗语却的确带出了「食盐」在我们日常生活中的重要性。而你又可有想过,守候在餐桌角落,重要却不起眼的食盐,竟然会与前沿物理研究及抽象数学理论扯上关系呢?
香港科技大学(科大)的研究人员发现一个新方法,利用粒子损耗这种在量子器材中通常需要避免的过程来控制量子态,有机会能为实现前所未有的量子态开闢新的途径。
香港科技大学(科大)与香港浸会大学(浸大)的研究人员联手首次破译一种广泛分布于西北太平洋热液区与冷泉区的深海帽贝的迁徙历史、遗传结构,以及群体连...
香港科技大学(科大)及香港理工大学(理大)研究人员开发了体外囊泡重组实验,并通过结合该实验途径及定量质谱分析,发现了囊泡中受特定因子调控被装入囊泡的特定货物蛋白,和介导囊泡运输的新的调控蛋白...
A team of researchers from HKUST has developed an inexpensive, lightweight, and non-toxic (lead-free) photo-battery...
Scientists from HKUST have recently discovered a non-classical nucleation process that can greatly facilitate ice formation on foreign surfaces. This finding lays the foundation to predict and control crystallization processes...
