Crowned as the “Father of Fibre Optics”, “Father of Fibre Optic Communication” and “Godfather of Broadband”, the 2009 “Nobel Laureate in Physics, Charles Kuen KAO is generally regarded as one of the most significant and influential contributors to engineering in modern times. His “groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibres for optical communication” was instrumental to the explosive development of the age of the Internet..…
If you have done star-gazing, you probably would have enjoyed and admired the majestic arrangements of stars into galaxies. Our Sun is a typical star in the Milky Way, our home galaxy, a typical galaxy in the universe. The hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe group into galaxy clusters, forming even larger structures. Other than stars, what constitutes a galaxy? How did galaxies and galaxy clusters form? How did these structures emerge from the almost perfectly uniform distribution in the early universe? ..…
「老化」是个神秘的过程，而且引发了我们许多疑问。为何生物会老化？为何我们死亡的年龄又各有不同？老化背后又蕴藏著什么机制？科学家观察到，一组实验室小鼠即使基因相同，每只寿命却各有不同，令人啧啧称奇…..
「老化」是個神秘的過程，而且引發了我們許多疑問。為何生物會老化？為何我們死亡的年齡又各有不同？老化背後又蘊藏著什麼機制？科學家觀察到，一組實驗室小鼠即使基因相同，每隻壽命卻各有不同，令人嘖嘖稱奇…..
The concept of ageing is a mysterious process and raises many questions. Why do organisms age? Why do we die at different ages? What are the mechanisms that underlie ageing? This is especially intriguing when scientists observe varying lifespans of one laboratory mice strain, consisting of genetically identical individuals……
