PolyU-developed platform to facilitate secondary school students doing experiment out of classroom

RTHK radio programme, 敎學有心人, featured the “AP Sensor” developed by Dr Jim Kwok-lung and Dr Choy Siu-hong from the Department of Applied Physics, PolyU. “AP Sensor” is a remote experiment platform that allows users to do Physics experiments with the built-in sensors in their mobile phones. The project aims to encourage secondary school students to make observations on the daily environment by using their mobile phones via this specially designed APP.  So far, 20 secondary schools have joined the programme and are using the platform.  The radio programme is available online: http://trsurl.com/s/20ZV

Innovation GPS 創科導航 - Prof Daniel S.P. LAU

Professor Daniel Lau, Head of PolyU’s Department of Applied Physics (AP), was interviewed in a tech-focused TVB programme “Innovation GPS” (創科導航), on the features, applications and developments of graphene -- a superior material having been widely used in various aspects of science, technology and business sectors. The semitransparent perovskite solar cells with graphene electrodes developed by AP research team in 2015 was cited as an example of graphene application. PolyU researchers is further developing another two-dimensional material black phosphorus (BP). They found that lithium battery with BP can be recharged for 1,000 times, five times more than the existing battery. TVB “Innovation GPS (創科導航)” (in Chinese): https://goo.gl/ytbySv
