科技前瞻 － 創新材料石墨烯 Wonder Materials – Graphene and Beyond

有甚麼東西是肉眼看不見、比頭髮還幼細，然而

比鋼鐵堅韌200倍？答案就是石墨烯。石墨烯是一種平面形態的碳，它的重量非常輕、導電性超

高，而且非常堅硬。在2004年，曼徹斯特大學的安德烈‧蓋姆教授與康斯坦丁‧諾沃謝洛夫教授

在研究上有了新突破，他們成功地分離出世界上

第一種來自石墨的二維材料，更藉此科學成就獲

得2010年的諾貝爾物理學獎。這種神奇的材料相信可為電子、醫藥、能源、海水化淡等各種不同

的工業帶來重大的變革。

這展覽誠邀你參與一次有趣的科研旅程，從過

去、現在和到想像的未來認識石墨烯。展覽將展

出超過100多件來自科學家、倫敦自然歷史博物館及倫敦科學博物館收藏的展品和原子模型，以及多組互動展品和短片，讓你認識首次分離出石墨烯的古怪方法、石墨烯的特性、最新的研究與應用，以及市

場上各種最新的石墨烯產品。

展期：2017年12月15日至2018年4月18日地點：香港科學館特備展覽廳

What is invisible to the human eye, thinner than a human hair and 200 times tougher than steel? Graphene. Graphene is a planar form of carbon with unique and exceptional properties: it is super lightweight, highly conductive and ultra-strong. It is the world’s first two-dimensional material isolated from graphite. The breakthrough was led by Prof. Andre Geim and Prof. Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester in 2004. Their pioneering work led to their being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. This wonder material could revolutionise electronics, medicine, energy and desalination, as well as a wide range of industries.

The exhibition takes you on a scientific journey of discovery through the past and present, and into the imagined future of graphene. It features over 100 objects and atomic models from scientists, collections of the Natural History Museum and London Science Museum, and interactive exhibits and video programmes. You can discover the curious method that led to the isolation of graphene for the first time, learn more about the unique properties of graphene and cutting edge research projects, and encounter both pioneering products incorporating graphene that are currently on the market and potential applications of graphene.

2017青苗科學家研習活動 Young Scientists Study Tour 2017

由香港科學館、香港中文大學理學院及教育局合辦

的「2017青苗科學家研習活動」已於8月15日至24日舉行。一行20名中學生及3位老師親身前往美國威爾遜山天文台（Mount Wilson Observatory）、加州理工學院（California Institute of Technology, Caltech）、美國太空總署噴氣推進實驗室（Jet Propulsion Laboratory），阿利桑那州的大峽谷國家公園（Grand Canyon National Park），以及到密蘇里州聖路易斯觀測日全食。透過參觀及天文觀測活動，學生體驗到地球科學與

天體物理學的研究過程及認識到科研成果的實際

應用範疇。學生更與加州理工學院的研究員會

面，了解他們在當地的生活狀況及在科學探索道

路上的軼事。能夠參與是次研習活動的同學都是

透過「2017科普快遞科學演示比賽」選出來的。如果你的學生想有一個充實的學習體驗，就不要

錯過「2018科普快遞科學演示比賽」了！有關詳情請留意稍後公佈。

Jointly organised by the Hong Kong Science Museum, the Faculty of Science of The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Education Bureau, the Young Scientists Study Tour 2017 was conducted from 15 to 24 August. A group of 20 students and three teachers visited the Mount Wilson Observatory, California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA) in California; Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona; and observed the total solar eclipse in St. Louis, Missouri in the USA. Through visits to various research facilities and participation in astronomical observations, students learned about the researches in earth sciences and astrophysics as well as their practical applications. The students also met with Caltech researchers who have shared their daily life experiences and anecdotes about their scientific research. Students of the study tour were selected from the SciPOP Science Presentation Contest 2017. If your students are looking for an enriching learning experience, don’t miss the SciPOP Science Presentation Contest 2018! Details will be released soon.
