香港科技大学(科大)港澳海洋研究中心主任甘剑平教授研究团队于中国南海进行海洋模拟试验及观测，透过地球流体动力学理论，揭秘了南海的海洋三维运动特征。

香港科技大学（科大）的一个研究小组首次实现穿过完整的小鼠头骨在脑膜下方750微米这一前所未有的深度，对小鼠大脑皮层内的微小神经结构進行活体成像。这一研究能够以接近无创的方式在大脑皮层中进行高分辨成像，将进一步促进大脑科学的研究。

香港神经退行性疾病中心（Hong Kong Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases，简称HKCeND）由香港科技大学（科大）成立，其研究团队在阿尔兹海默症（AD）的早期诊断和治疗方面取得了重大突破，有望为疾病管理带来变革。

A research led by HKUST has revealed a novel mechanism that regulates secretion of sonic hedgehog (Shh), a key signaling molecular that plays an important role in cancer progression, in mammals, opening the door to novel therapeutic strategies for cancer induced by the hedgehog signaling pathway.

A research team led by scientists from the HKUST has revealed how secondary structure RNA elements control the cleavage activity of the DICER enzyme in both pre-miRNA and short-hairpin RNAs, improving the understanding of the DICER cleavage mechanism and providing a foundation for the design of accurate and efficient short-hairpin RNAs for gene-silencing. 

香港科技大学(科大)今天推出首个互动海洋环境影像化平台WavyOcean，覆盖包括粤港澳大湾区海域，整个中国海、以及西太平洋水域。平台将促进海洋研究工作，并为包括明日大屿等重要政策提供宝贵的数据，以使政策制订者能于海洋保育和社会发展之间取得平衡。

Researchers at the HKUST and the University of Chicago (UChicago) have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for logic operations using a kind of soft material called liquid crystal, paving the way for a completely novel way of performing computations with potential applications in robotics.

A research team led by LIFS Assoc. Prof. Tom CHEUNG has discovered the constructive role of a protein in driving the skeletal muscle stem cell activation to repair muscle following damage, laying the foundation for further study in the mechanisms of stem cell quiescence-to-activation transition and stem cell-based muscle regeneration.

粤语中有「我食盐多过你食米」一说。虽然言者未必有意听者亦无须太认真，但这句俗语却的确带出了「食盐」在我们日常生活中的重要性。而你又可有想过，守候在餐桌角落，重要却不起眼的食盐，竟然会与前沿物理研究及抽象数学理论扯上关系呢？

香港科技大学（科大）的研究人员发现一个新方法，利用粒子损耗这种在量子器材中通常需要避免的过程来控制量子态，有机会能为实现前所未有的量子态开闢新的途径。
