The rising traffic density and heavier loads on the city’s vast network of bridges and highways have posed challenges to establishing an efficient and reliable inspection system for road safety. Researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have developed an innovative intelligent model with a multi-tier design to advance the inspection and evaluation process for surface and subsurface defect detection and safety for concrete bridges, contributing to a more sustainable public infrastructure.  

Antibiotic resistance is quietly spreading worldwide. According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) latest Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) report, one in six common bacterial infections worldwide could no longer be treated effectively with antibiotics in 2023, especially in areas with weaker health systems.

Targeted high-throughput sequencing technology can provide crucial support for infection prevention and guide precision treatment—helping to reduce antibiotic resistance that often arises from limited diagnostic capacity.

A research team led by Senior Researcher Hyuk Lee at the AX Convergence Research Center, Virtual Engineering Platform Research Division, Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu), under the National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST, Chairman Young-Shik Kim), has developed an autonomous initial suppression firefighting system specialized for shipboard oil fires and successfully completed real-ship trials on an actual vessel.
