On August 8th, Dr. Luo Wenjun, the head of the Multi functional Composite Materials and Structures Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, finished his breakfast and took a taxi from the campus in Clear Water Bay, Hong Kong to the West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station. The G5802 train arrived at Shenzhen Futian High Speed Railway Station in just 14 minutes. Subsequently, Luo Wenjun arrived at the Shenzhen Hong Kong Collaborative Innovation Research Institute of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology located in the Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone in Hetao, and began a day's work with colleagues in Shenzhen.

As a capable assistant to Professor Yang Jinglei, Dean of the Shenzhen Hong Kong Collaborative Innovation Research Institute at HKUST, Luo Wenjun travels once or twice a week from the school headquarters in Hong Kong to Hetao, Shenzhen. His purpose for coming today is to discuss the industrialization of self-cleaning nano coating technology with the Executive Director of the Research Institute, Gao Lingyun. "In the past three years, we have devoted ourselves to research in the school laboratory and made significant breakthroughs in basic theories. Now, we are conducting testing and verification at the Shenzhen Hong Kong Collaborative Innovation Research Institute in Hetao, and the results are very good!" Luo Wenjun excitedly told reporters.

In the green and sustainable open laboratory on the 40th floor of the research institute, which overlooks the Mai Po Nature Reserve in Hong Kong, the reporter saw this magical technology. With a gentle sprinkle of water, all the dirt on the photovoltaic panels will fall off without leaving any water stains. Luo Wenjun introduced, "This is because a super hydrophilic nano surface has been constructed and photocatalytic performance has been introduced. This technology can efficiently solve the problem of stubborn stains and residues of inorganic dust and organic matter, greatly reducing the cleaning cost of solar panels."

"Our Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Shenzhen Hong Kong Collaborative Innovation Research Institute was established in May 2020. Our mission is to rely on policy and geographical advantages, effectively gather scientific research forces and interdisciplinary teams from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, leverage the collaborative innovation advantages of the Shenzhen Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone, and promote the rapid development of scientific research, achievement transformation, and talent cultivation." Gao Lingyun introduced, "For example, the Energy Materials and Intelligent Systems Laboratory led by Professor Yang Jinglei is continuously introducing new material technologies related to research and development in Hong Kong for Guangdong Hong Kong cultivation. It is to bring advanced technologies developed in Hong Kong to Shenzhen's' pilot base 'for market-oriented cultivation, and then enter the market through various appropriate forms of technology transfer to create a' pre research and post production '." The technology industry ecosystem promotes the economic development of Hong Kong and Shenzhen through new products

The frequent linkage between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao is not only reflected in the collaborative development model of the science and technology industry of "Hong Kong and Macao universities - Hong Kong and Macao scientific research achievements - Pearl River Delta transformation", but also in the source innovation of accelerating core research and development.

At the Songshan Lake Science City in Dongguan, the first major scientific and technological infrastructure in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, China Spallation Neutron Source, has provided unprecedented convenience for numerous scientific research units in the bay area.

"Conducting experiments at home is so convenient!" With the support of the universal powder diffractometer of the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source, Professor Huang Mingxin from the University of Hong Kong no longer needs to apply for machine time from foreign Spallation Neutron Sources to verify the composition and structure of his research achievement "Super Steel", greatly improving the efficiency of the experiment.

At present, the China Spallation Neutron Source has completed 9 rounds of open operation, with over 4500 registered users worldwide and over 1000 scientific research projects completed. Among them, users in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area account for 1/4.

In addition, a number of major scientific and technological infrastructure such as the "Strong Current Heavy Ion Accelerator Device" and "Accelerator Driven Transmutation Research Device" in Huizhou, and the Jiangmen Neutrino Experimental Station, as well as the construction of major scientific facilities such as the cold spring ecosystem, hypersonic wind tunnels, and ocean drilling ships in the Nansha Science City of Guangzhou, are accelerating, forming a strong magnetic attraction effect and attracting a group of top scientific research talents, research and development platforms, and industrialization bases to gather in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.

In 2022, the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has arranged 10 Guangdong provincial laboratories, 30 State Key Laboratory, and 20 joint laboratories of Hong Kong and Macao, gathering many academicians and scientists at home and abroad and Hong Kong and Macao research institutions with international top level. In 2022, the number of high-tech enterprises in Guangdong reached 69000, more than doubling in five years, with the vast majority of enterprises concentrated in the Greater Bay Area.

Building an international science and technology innovation center with global influence is one of the important goals proposed in the Outline of the Development Plan for the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. In recent years, with the accelerated flow of innovative elements and the continuous deepening of collaborative innovation between Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, cities in the Greater Bay Area have learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses, forming a complete industrial chain in the field of scientific and technological innovation, and becoming a rising global innovation growth pole.

According to the Global Innovation Index report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, the "Shenzhen Hong Kong Guangzhou Innovation Cluster" ranked second in the global innovation index for three consecutive years in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

The special report "Shared Innovation - Accelerating Towards the Top Global Science and Technology Innovation Bay Area" released by the China Academy of Comprehensive Development predicts that by 2030, the scale of strategic emerging industries in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area will reach trillions of US dollars, the added value of advanced manufacturing will exceed 4 trillion yuan, and the scale of research and development investment will reach billions of US dollars, with intensity comparable to that of the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, which illuminates the path of innovation with the light of science and continuously gathers global wisdom, has shown its vitality and become a powerful engine for promoting high-quality economic development.

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
