Prof. SHAO Minhua, Professor from HKUST’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering and the Director of HKUST Energy Institute, holds the prototype of the new hydrogen fuel cell.
A research team led by Prof. Jonathan Eugene HALPERT, Assistant Professor from the Department of Chemistry at HKUST, develops an an inexpensive, lightweight, and lead-free photo-battery that has dual functions in harvesting solar energy and storing energy on a single device.
The team has successfully made the prototype of the “super human eye” – an artificial visual system that uses a spherical biomimetic electrochemical eye with hemispherical retina made of a high-density perovskite nanowire array.
