Plants stretch toward sunlight in photosynthesis, their leaves curving to seize every beam. A CUHK team has harnessed this dance...
CURI, developed by CUHK, is a robot that learns tasks by observing humans. Equipped with an RGB-D camera and adaptable arms, CURI ensures precision and efficiency. The research team has used rubber pellets to simulate cooking tasks. Although CURI has not cooked real food, the potential for it to become a Michelin-star chef in the future is exciting. Imagine this Michelin-star chef can prepare perfectly seasoned dishes just for you!
In a world captivated by the allure of cutting-edge technologies, the siren call of innovation often beckons people towards the newest offerings. But sometimes a scientific trial comes along and shows that under certain circumstances, conventional method still holds its ground. In the case of IVF treatment, researchers from CUHK and Queen Mary University of London recently discovered that contemporary time-lapse imaging (TLI) systems for monitoring embryo development do not outperform conventional methods.
FengWu is not your typical weather forecaster. Forget the human touch – this AI-powered marvel is a game-changer in meteorology. Imagine a forecaster with vision so sharp, it’s like upgrading from a blurry old TV to the latest 8K ultra-high-definition screen. FengWu’s spatial accuracy are over seven times than current weather models. And it doesn’t just stop at tomorrow’s weather; FengWu can peer into the future with stunning accuracy, extending reliable forecasts up to an incredible 11.25 days. It’s not just forecasting the weather; it’s rewriting the rules of the game.
When we interact with the world around us, it might feel simple and instinctive – but it happens because of an incredibly complicated physical process. LIMER, a new technology from CUHK, has uncovered the role in that process of the endoplasmic reticulum, a key component of our cells. It’s a discovery that opens up an exciting possibility – potential treatments for the many diseases that can develop when our cells’ response mechanism goes awry.
CUHK has been a trailblazer on multiple fronts of late. Not only has the University taken a pivotal role in scientific exploration of Earth’s most remote and fascinating region, its poles, but it has also broken new ground with the appointment of Nobel laureate James J. Heckman as a Distinguished Professor-at-Large, as well as notching multiple award wins and a record high global institution ranking.
