HKUST Develops Self-Sustaining Seawater-to-Hydrogen System
A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), in collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU) and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), has developed a sustainable integrated seawater-to-hydrogen system that can produce hydrogen directly from seawater while converting waste heat from electrolysis into a resource for producing the purified water required for hydrogen production. By integrating hydrogen production, water generation, and thermal management into a single system, the technology could help reduce the reliance of green hydrogen production on freshwater resources and offer a new approach for sustainable hydrogen development in water-scarce regions. The study was led by Prof. SHANG Chii, Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at HKUST, and Dr. Gabriela Scheibel CASSOL, a postdoctoral fellow in the same department and an HKUST PhD graduate in Environmental Engineering. The research team also included Prof. Paul WESTERHOFF of Arizona State University and corresponding author Dr. SONG Yinghao, a postdoctoral fellow at PolyU and HKUST PhD graduate in Civil Engineering. The research was published in Nature Communications, titled "Thermally symbiotic integration of osmotic membrane distillation and electrolysis for direct seawater hydrogen production." Innovative Thermal Symbiosis Design Enhances Resource Efficiency Renewable hydrogen could play...

The joke is that all the HK protests are peaceful until the cops show up. Think that’s an exaggeration as during the most intense days of the PolyU siege, HK was a city in revolt, with people creating chaos everywhere to draw the cops away from the university. Not peaceful, but justifiable
It was the police who had the truncheons and wore the spiked gloves when hitting, attacking people.
Most protestors were weapon-less. Even during the university sieges later in the year, when things got VERY horrifying, when some protestors were shown using bows and arrows and such...

So many HKers became radicalised in 2019-2020 - remember the middle-aged middle-class dad trying to make his way to PolyU to save their child who told NYT ‘Molotov cocktails are good, actually’? Heck, even my dad was like ‘if the tanks roll in, I’ll be in front of them’…

A sweet one from during the PolyU siege. It shows the valiants helping a tourist with a large suitcase make her way through the barricades as the sound of the police firing tear gas continues in the background. While all of that is going on, she shouts to the front line - you guys add oil!

This is from the siege of PolyU in November. Unclear about the date because with videos like these, you don't ask too many questions. It shows students escaping the campus that was being bombarded by the police by abseiling from a bridge, with volunteer motorcycles waiting below to speed them away
