An Updated Library Catalog The New PowerSearch
PowerSearch got a new look and new functions this summer. Not only at HKUST, but at all 8 UGC-funded university libraries (known as JULAC) as well. We have all moved onto one single online platform for you to find, access, retrieve, and request resources from the 8 UGC libraries.

香港科技大学研发新型显微镜 可拍摄活细胞立体影像 开辟细胞生物学研究新时代
香港科技大学(科大)一支科研团队研发出新一代显微镜,不但能为活细胞拍出立体影像,并且所拍摄的画面质素亦更高,大大扩阔了细胞生物学可研究的范围及提升准确性。
虽然现存的共聚焦显微镜也可拍摄出立体生物细胞图像,但是由于其照射在细胞样本上的激光,较盛夏的阳光还要强100万倍,其强烈的曝光量往往破坏细胞的活力,并将之杀死,细胞生物学研究因而一直受到限制。
由科大杜胜望教授及雷明德教授团队所研发的新型线性贝塞尔光片(LBS)显微镜,其光毒性则仅有目前共聚焦显微镜的千分之一,从而大大延长了被观测细胞的寿命,让科学家得以进行更仔细的观察。光毒性是一种由光引起的敏感性,可导致分子变化。

Turning a Joke into an Award-winning Innovation
If you’ve ever struggled with trying to pick up tofu with chopsticks, think how difficult it must be for the steely grip of a mechanical robot. But thanks to some great teamwork and a lot of persistence, that’s exactly the challenge recently solved by five Mechanical Engineering stu
