We are excited to release the latest issue of the PAIR Newsletter!

In Issue 16, we proudly introduce “Impact Stories”, a new article series dedicated to the work of PAIR researchers who are making a positive difference in the world.  Selected PolyU innovations for this issue include colour management technologies, novel fungus-based fat replacer, smart city index, and cooling clothes—research achievements that combinedly help improve our health, advance technologies and optimise living spaces.

This issue’s Feature Stories delve into pressing issues in two very different scientific fields: geographical information science and energy science.  Pioneering geographer Prof. Michael GOODCHILD discusses the continuing problem of “uncertainty” in modern-day maps and geospatial data, alongside the booming development of AI.  E-fuel developer Prof. ZHAO Tianshou explains how his innovation provides a “two birds one stone” strategy for the energy sector.

Furthermore, multiple PAIR constituent research units have established partnerships with industry and governments for influential collaborations in a variety of fields spanning sports science, healthcare, smart city, and sustainable agriculture and fisheries.
