超微细光纤传感器　从体内监测身体状况

理大光子技术研究院副院长、光子学讲座教授、电机工程学系系主任谭华耀教授带领研究团队，成功开发崭新的超威细光纤传感器，可以植入人体，为手术及治疗过程提供更准确的医学监测信息。 该传感器名为「塑料边孔光纤传感器」，由先进光学塑料ZEONEX制成，研究团队更在光纤内加入「边孔」，以增加其敏感度。这款超威细光纤传感器不但具备生物兼容性，而且质地柔软，可感应人体内极微细的压力变化。 这款超威细光纤传感器可细小至数微米，它对压力的敏感度更比传统的光纤传感器高出20倍。此外，它不受湿度影响、不易折断，并可抗化学腐蚀兼具生物兼容性，未来将可更广泛地应用于医疗领域当中。 「塑料边孔光纤传感器」的研究成果早前于美国光学学会的学术期刊《Optics Letters》中发表，而理大与其他大学合作的部分研究成果亦已获得专利。 请按此以获取更多信息。

陈清焰教授的研究团队能准确模拟客机舱内新冠的传播和感染情况

跨国出版公司 Wiley在2022 年 1 月 20 日发布以下新闻稿，介绍陈教授团队的近期工作。 团队发表在 Indoor Air 期刊上的一项研究模拟 SARS-CoV-2（导致 COVID-19 的病毒）在从伦敦飞往河内的航班和从新加坡飞往杭州的另一架航班上的传播。 研究人员在模拟感染者在机舱内咳嗽、说话和呼吸活动所产生的不同大小的飞沫扩散时发现，飞沫中所含的 SARS-CoV-2 病毒随机舱空气分佈而传播，并被其他乘客吸入。 科学家们计算了每位乘客吸入的病毒拷贝数，以确定感染情况。他们的方法在第一例飞行中正确预测了 84% 的感染/未感染病例。该团队还发现，佩戴口罩和减少乘客之间的交谈频率有助于降低第二例飞行的暴露风险。通讯作者、上海交通大学建筑学院副教授兼副系主任赖达禕博士说:「很高兴看到我们通过实验数据验证的模型，在预测 COVID-19 在客机客舱中的传播方面，能够达到如此高的准确度。此外，最重要的是，研究让我们知道了戴口罩对减少传播有重大影响。」 此研究已发表在 Indoor Air期刊，请按以下连结阅读全文。 访问已于多个平台刊登及上载，详情请浏览以下网址: Science Daily Daily Mail EurekAlert Archyde The Jerusalem Post News Wise Eminetra Canarian Weekly News Medical Life Sciences Medical Xpress Opera News SC Online News

碳中和资源工程研究中心成立仪式 (只有英文版本)

(只有英文版本) The PolyU Academy for Interdisciplinary Research (PAIR) was proud to celebrate the inauguration of the Research Centre for Resources Engineering towards Carbon Neutrality (RCRE) on 14 January 2022 on the PolyU campus. Over 100 guests from the Hong Kong Government, PolyU, the industry and the Centre’s research partners attended physically or online and witnessed this new page. Under PAIR’s leadership, RCRE will become the effective platform aligning people of similar interests to work together in the very important interdisciplinary research field of how to make good use of resource engineering to achieve carbon neutrality. “Our campus is working hard on achieving the goal of carbon neutrality before 2050. RCRE fits very well into this arena and its research work will add great value to helping not only PolyU but the whole community to achieve this target that can benefit our society in a meaningful way,” said PolyU’s Vice President (Research and Innovation) Professor Christopher Chao at the inauguration ceremony. Speaking at the same occasion, Professor Jin-Guang Teng, President of PolyU, stated that PolyU now has the largest research team and facilities among all the universities in Hong Kong focusing on resources engineering towards carbon neutrality, and has established a strong track record and recognised reputation in the waste management research community. PolyU will advance further with the establishment of RCRE for the good of the society. Attending the ceremony online, Mr Wong Kam-sing, Secretary for the Environment, commended PolyU for its contribution and efforts to pool its interdisciplinary talents and facilities to advance the development of decarbonisation technologies and related policy study. The ceremony also featured a fruitful scientific exchange by different PolyU and overseas researchers who presented on a kaleidoscope of topics. Poster presentations on current projects conducted by PolyU researchers were also staged and attracted the attention of all the attending guests at the spot.
