【Prof. Christopher Chao encouraged students to cultivate the ability to innovate across disciplines】 PolyU hosted the regional qualifier for the remote-control underwater vehicle tournament on Tuesday, where nearly 500 primary and secondary school students were required to build an underwater vehicle in the shape of a seaperch, and remotely control the vehicle to capture and transport floating objects. Prof. Christopher Chao, Vice-President (Research and Innovation) and Director of PReCIT, said at the event that he hoped students could gain an in-depth understanding of cutting-edge marine technology, master scientific research methods, and cultivate the ability to innovate across disciplines.

Did you know that today is #NationalBunsenBurnerDay? The Bunsen Burner we all loved in science class remains a fundamental component of scientific education. STEM education plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our workforce and economy. In life sciences, STEM expertise leads to groundbreaking products and techniques that enhance lives and safeguard our environment. We eagerly anticipate the bright future ahead for all of our budding scientists! History: Born in Germany in 1811, Robert Bunsen demonstrated his innovative spirit from a young age. His remarkable achievements, including discovering an antidote to arsenic poisoning, set the stage for his most enduring invention – the Bunsen burner. Embarking on this endeavor in 1852 at the University of Heidelberg, Bunsen revolutionized laboratory burners by designing a versatile gas-burning apparatus that produced flames of varying colors and intensities based on airflow. Despite its simplicity, his design gained worldwide acclaim and remains a cornerstone of scientific experimentation, underscoring the universal significance of National Bunsen Burner Day. #GilbaneBuildsLifeScienceFacilities #STEM #BuildingTheFuture

UK plans are underway for the world’s most advanced dark matter detector that could be hosted at the UK’s deep underground science facility at Boulby mine. UK researchers have begun designing a new device to detect the elusive dark matter particles thought to make up more than 85% of the content of the Universe. A preliminary award of £8 million from the UK Research and Innovation (#UKRI) Infrastructure Fund will support a consortium of UK universities, led by Imperial College London. The consortium will work with the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Boulby Underground Laboratory over the next three and a half years. As part of the world-leading Xenon Lux-Zeplin Darwin (#XLZD) Consortium for dark matter research, the team will develop initial plans and design components for the world’s largest and most advanced dark matter detector. Once completed, this international experiment could be hosted at the UK’s deep underground science facility at Boulby mine in the north-east of England.
