An annual mega event for the scientific community, the Future Science Prize Award Ceremony, was successfully held on 3 November at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Three grand prizes (Life Science Prize, Physical Science Prize, and Mathematics and Computer Science Prize) were awarded to four scientists from Mainland China respectively: Professor DENG Hongkui, Professor ZHANG Tao, Professor LI Yadong, and Professor SUN Binyong.
As in previous years, the Award Ceremony came with the Future Science Prize Week (30 October to 3 November). The 5-day Prize Week gathered elites in the scientific community from around the world and included events such as the Science Symposiums, Science and Technology Forum, and Asian Young Scientist Fellowship Annual Conference. The highlight of the events was a speech on “Acid Catalysis” by Professor Benjamin LIST, the Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 2021.
In order to popularise science at all levels and inspire young people, the organiser specially held the “Dialogue with the Youth” seminar, in which the four award-winning scientists had close interaction with Hong Kong secondary students from different schools. Their sharing of personal learning experiences and scientific research journeys brought the Prize Week to a perfect close.

Neutrinos are subatomic particles that bombard the Earth at nearly the speed of light. There are 100 trillion neutrinos passing through our bodies every second. However, they are too small to be seen and detected, and rarely interact with matter at all.
In this episode, Mr. Adrian Hoi-chun PO, the Hari Harilela Assistant Professor of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, is invited to introduce Physicist Professor Kam-Biu LUK.
Professor Kam-Biu LUK has always been committed to the research on particle physics. He had cooperated with the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in precisely measuring the disappearance rate of neutrinos arising from oscillation. As a result, a new mode of neutrino oscillation was discovered, which meant finding traces of neutrinos. Ever since the Big Bang, the whole space has been flooded with neutrinos. The research on neutrinos helps to solve the age-old mystery of the creation of Universe.
