【Star Innovator Dialogue: Bridging Futures in Unnoticed Details 💡 | Interview with Professor Zhiqin Chu】

While Newton questioned the fall of an apple, Professor Zhiqin Chu from Faculty of Engineering, HKU innovated the world-leading "flexible ultra-flat diamond films" technology from a simple shot of a scattered lab sample! 💎

“Why?” was all Professor Chu asked. His curiosity fueled the development of the innovative pliable, ultra-high thermal conductive diamond film. He challenged the common belief in diamonds’ hardness and brittleness, brought to life the breakthrough and founded DiamNEX, helping industries solve the bottleneck chip manufacturers face in heat dissipation. 🚀

"Scientific research doesn't require genius-level IQ. What truly matters is that you stay focus, resilient, and curious."

【創科人物誌：在細節裡看見新的可能 💡｜專訪褚智勤教授】
牛頓受掉下的蘋果啟發；香港大學工程學院褚智勤教授則從一張實驗樣品摔破的照片中，創造了全球領先的「超薄鑽石薄膜」技術！💎

憑藉一句簡單的「為甚麼」，好奇心便驅使褚教授打破大眾對鑽石向來堅硬且易碎的認知，研發出導熱能力極高，又如薄紙般柔韌的鑽石薄膜。教授更創立深科技企業 DiamNEX 將科研成果「落地」，助產業解決當前 AI 晶片的散熱瓶頸。🚀

「做科研未必需要天才般的智商，真正重要的是專注、韌性，以及對世界保持好奇。」
