Researchers from Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering under the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and the Centre for Advanced Semiconductors and Integrated Circuits (CASIC), have achieved a major breakthrough in cryogenic electronics. The team have developed a programmable neuromorphic hardware platform that operates near absolute zero, providing a potential solution for scaling up quantum computers and enabling deep-space exploration.

Two newly identified minerals—one from a deep Earth diamond—offer rare insights into the planet’s interior and honour UBC researchers and their legacies.

Critical Path Institute today announced the appointment of Milad Alucozai, DrPH, MPH, M.Sc., to its Board of Directors. Dr. Alucozai is a longtime leader in the U.S. biotechnology and startup community who has worked as a founder, investor, operator, and community builder, and is the creator of the Bio-Industrial Technology Stack framework, which reframes biology as a geopolitical and industrial asset. A neuroscientist and startup investor, he bridges computational biology, machine learning, and AI-driven drug development. His appointment reflects the organization’s commitment to integrating emerging biotechnology and human-relevant research models into its global mission of accelerating safer, more effective treatments.
