超微細光纖傳感器　從體內監測身體狀況

理大光子技術研究院副院長、光子學講座教授、電機工程學系系主任譚華耀教授帶領研究團隊，成功開發嶄新的超微細光纖傳感器，可以植入人體，為手術及治療過程提供更準確的醫學監測資訊。 該傳感器名為「塑料邊孔光纖傳感器」，由先進光學塑料ZEONEX製成，研究團隊更在光纖內加入「邊孔」，以增加其敏感度。這款超微細光纖傳感器不但具備生物相容性，而且質地柔軟，可感應人體內極微細的壓力變化。 這款超微細光纖傳感器可細小至數微米，它對壓力的敏感度更比傳統的光纖傳感器高出20倍。此外，它不受濕度影響、不易折斷，並可抗化學腐蝕兼具生物相容性，未來將可更廣泛地應用於醫療領域當中。 「塑料邊孔光纖傳感器」的研究成果早前於美國光學學會的學術期刊《Optics Letters》中發表，而理大與其他大學合作的部分研究成果亦已獲得專利。 請按此以獲取更多資訊。

陳清焰教授的研究團隊能準確模擬客機艙内新冠的傳播和感染情況

跨國出版公司 Wiley在2022 年 1 月 20 日發布以下新聞稿，介紹陳教授團隊的近期工作。 團隊發表在 Indoor Air 期刊上的一項研究模擬 SARS-CoV-2（導致 COVID-19 的病毒）在從倫敦飛往河內的航班和從新加坡飛往杭州的另一架航班上的傳播。 研究人員在模擬感染者在機艙內咳嗽、說話和呼吸活動所產生的不同大小的飛沫擴散時發現，飛沫中所含的 SARS-CoV-2 病毒隨機艙空氣分佈而傳播，並被其他乘客吸入。 科學家們計算了每位乘客吸入的病毒拷貝數，以確定感染情況。他們的方法在第一例飛行中正確預測了 84% 的感染/未感染病例。該團隊還發現，佩戴口罩和減少乘客之間的交談頻率有助於降低第二例飛行的暴露風險。通訊作者、上海交通大學建築學院副教授兼副系主任賴達禕博士說:「很高興看到我們通過實驗數據驗證的模型，在預測 COVID-19 在客機客艙中的傳播方面，能夠達到如此高的準確度。此外，最重要的是，研究讓我們知道了戴口罩對減少傳播有重大影響。」 此研究已發表在 Indoor Air期刊，請按以下連結閱讀全文。 訪問已於多個平台刊登及上載，詳情請瀏覽以下網址: 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

(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.
