HKUST 2005-2006 Annual Report
37
化學工程學系及機械工程學系研究員開創了一項新技術，將納
米碳管加入原始的高強纖維，從而大大提升超高分子量聚乙
烯塑料（UHMWPE）的防彈功能，可用於製造更有效及舒適的
防彈衣。
Researchers from the Departments of Chemical
Eng ineering and Mechanical Eng ineering have
produced a new technology that can greatly enhance
the ballistic-proof strength of ultra high molecular
weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber by adding carbon
nanotubes to pristine high-strength fiber. Uses include
more effective and comfortable bullet-proof vests.
2006年6月，享負盛名的“分子細胞神經生物學”Gordon Research Conference於科大
舉行，這是自2000年科大獲選為亞洲的永久會議地點以來，召開的第四次會議。2006年
會議整合了分子細胞神經生物學家均感興趣的科學原則，並鼓勵相關研究範疇的神經生
物學家互相交流。來自歐洲、北美洲及亞太區共172名傑出科學家、博士後研究人員及
學生出席了這次會議，其中三場特別講座，分別由美國國家衛生研究院的
Story Landis
教授
、麻省理工學院的
H Robert Horvitz教授
及Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center的
Linda Buck教授
主講。Horvitz教授及Buck教授分別是2002年及2004年的諾貝爾生理及醫學
獎得主。
The prestigious Gordon Research Conference on “Molecular and Cellular Neurobiology”
was held in June 2006. It was the fourth GRC held at HKUST, which has been chosen as a
permanent conference site in Asia since 2000. The 2006 Conference integrated scientific
principles that are of general interest to molecular and cellular neurobiologists and encouraged
interactions between neurobiologists from different but related disciplines. A total of 172
leading scientists, postdoctoral fellows and students from Europe, North America and the Asia-
Pacific region participated in this GRC, which featured three special lectures by
Professor Story
Landis
from National Institute of Health,
Professor H Robert Horvitz
from MIT, and
Professor
Linda Buck
from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Professor Horvitz and Professor
Buck are Nobel Laureates in Physiology and Medicine in 2002 and 2004 respectively.

Professor Ross Murch
, Department of Electronic and
Computer Engineering, has developed compact Radio
Frequency Identification antennas for use in tags. The
antennas use an asymmetrical design while still maintaining
differential feeding.
