There are only four APT laboratories in China but not a single one south of the Yangtze River. That means CityU’s APT Lab is pretty special for the study of nanostructures in advanced materials. And it is even more special because CityU’s APT technology produces data faster, cheaper and more efficiently than any other models. Professor C.T. Liu, IAS Senior Fellow and an expert in new materials, shared his insights on advanced materials.

IAS Senior Fellow Professor Liu Chain-tsuan was invited to share his views and insights on the correlation of materials, civilization, and technology innovation at Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre in 2016.

為匯聚世界各地的研究人才，推動創新研究，香港城市大學成立高等研究院（LAS），並在昨日舉行開幕典禮。高等研究院將結合科學、技術及人文學術的研究專家，並促進全球的研究聯繫以解決全球問題，成立初期將主力研究健康一元化、數碼化城市及智能城市這三大跨學科主題。

隨着創新及科技局正式成立，將進一步帶動本地科研文化。城市大學昨成立高等研究院，邀請來自世界各地的化學、數學、工程界的頂尖專家組成研究團隊，盼融合不同範疇的專業知識，針對三大跨學科主題，包括健康一元化、數碼化社會及智能城市，進行創新研究。研究院希望可通過籌款吸納資金，舉辦國際研討會及工作坊。

香港城市大學（城大）成立高等研究院，標誌學術研究發展邁進新階段。高等研究院將積極推動創新研究，回應現今全球面對的重要難題。
