【 #探索新視野2026 探尋腸道微生物菌群】

我們的腸道是微生物菌群高度聚集的區域，含有無數神經細胞和免疫細胞，是身體的消化、免疫與代謝中樞，其多樣性與我們的身心健康息息相關。「探索新視野」很高興首次與香港微生物菌群創新中心 Microbiota I-Center (MagIC）合作，帶領余振強紀念第二中學的同學參觀其中心，了解中心如何以創新的科研方法，探索人體腸道微生物菌群相關的生物標記，和研發以微生物菌群為基礎的藥物和治療方案，改善人類健康。參觀期間，同學更獲得寶貴而難得的機會，進入中心的動物研究設施，並一探各種精密儀器的運作，了解它們如何協助我們更深入地認識人體微生態。

我們非常感謝MagIC對「探索新視野」的支持，讓同學走出課室，親身體驗科研最前線，拓寬他們的科學視野，開啟了他們的科學探索之路。

【 Discovering The Wonders of the Gut Microbiome】

The human gut is a densely populated hub for microbiotas, and a central pillar of our digestion, immune system, and metabolism, where their composition and diversity are intricately linked to our overall health. “Exploring New Horizons” is thrilled to collaborate for the first time with the Microbiota I-Center (MagIC), leading students from Yu Chun Keung Memorial College No. 2 on a visit to its research centre, to understand how MagIC utilises innovative methods to develop microbial biomarkers and precision medicine treatments related to the human gut microbiome for improving human health.

During the visit, students gained a rare and valuable opportunity to enter the centre’s animal research facility, and observed various sophisticated research instruments, and gained a deeper understanding of how these technologies assist in enriching our knowledge of human microbes.

We are deeply grateful to MagIC for their support. This experience allowed students step out of the classroom and understand the forefront of scientific research, broadening their horizons and inspiring them to embark their future journeys in science!

【 #大師啟迪：探秘銀河中心的璀璨星芒🌌】

「如果你能親赴銀河系的中心，你會驚訝於那裡的光輝璀璨。」

2008年邵逸夫天文學獎及2020年諾貝爾物理學獎得主萊因哈德·根舍教授（Prof Reinhard Genzel）的卓越成就，正是解開了這個璀璨核心的奧秘。

他與團隊透過近三十年的近紅外線高解像度天體觀測，精確追踪銀河系中心人馬座A*（Sagittarius A*）周邊恆星的軌道，成功證實該處存在一個超大質量緻密天體（Supermassive Compact Object），為愛因斯坦廣義相對論所預言的超大質量黑洞提供了迄今最無可置疑的實證。

這份對未知宇宙的探索熱忱，正與香港桂冠論壇「聯繫當代與新一代科研領袖」的使命完美契合。論壇致力於構建跨世代、跨文化、跨學科的國際交流平台，期盼透過世界級學術研討會，促進青年科學家與頂尖大師的深度對談，讓思想在交流中互相激勵，拓展認知的邊界，把探索科學的火花延續下去。

【 ：Exploring the Radiant Core of Our Galaxy🌌】

"If you were to travel to the centre of our galaxy, you would be surprised by how bright it is there."

The crowning achievement of Prof Reinhard Genzel, 2008 Shaw Laureate in Astronomy and 2020 Nobel Laureate in Physics, lies precisely in unravelling the secrets of this radiant core.

Through nearly three decades of high-resolution near-infrared astronomical observations, Prof Genzel and his team meticulously tracked the orbits of stars surrounding Sagittarius A* at the Galactic Centre, where the stellar density is millions of times greater than other zones. Their pioneering work provided the most definitive empirical evidence to date for the existence of a supermassive black hole, as predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

This fervour for exploring the unknown cosmic frontier resonates perfectly with the mission of the Hong Kong Laureate Forum, which is to connect contemporary and next-generation scientific leaders. By fostering cross-generational, cross-cultural, and cross-disciplinary interactions through this world-class academic symposium, we are committed to facilitating profound dialogues between young scientists and visionary masters, while inspiring global youth to push the frontiers of cognition and carry forward the spark of scientific exploration.

【 Decoding the Science Behind Liver Cancer】

Students from Heung To Secondary School (Tseung Kwan O) recently visited Prof Carmen Wong’s Cancer Biology Lab at the Department of Pathology of The University of Hong Kong, as part of the “Exploring New Horizons” programme. Liver cancer remains a critical global health challenge. Prof Wong offered an insightful introduction to the lab’s research interests, focusing on the analysis of the causes of liver cancer and the mechanism behind cancer cell growth. Under the guidance of Prof Wong and her research team, students observed the morphology and characteristics of liver cancer cells firsthand through microscopes, and learned how scientists cultivate specific cells to clarify pathology and formulate innovative treatment strategies.

Our sincere thanks go to Prof Wong and her team for their longstanding support, providing students with a unique opportunity to experience the fascination of scientific discovery and acquire invaluable knowledge in the field of cancer research!

【 Becoming an “Infectious Disease Detective”】

A collaboration between Exploring New Horizons and the C2i - Centre for Immunology & Infection led students from Lok Sin Tong Yu Kan Hing Secondary School on a unique scientific journey. C2i is dedicated to advancing research in infectious agents and related immune responses, as well as developing surveillance strategies for mosquito-borne viruses in the community. During this visit, students transformed into “Infectious Disease Detectives” through specially designed activities. They learned about mosquito-borne diseases through hands-on experiments such as cell cultures, mosquito identification, and virus detection. These activities helped diagnose details of a virtual case, providing an engaging and informative experience.

We thank the C2i research team for the enriching arrangements, where students were able to explore immunology and infection science in a fun and interactive way!

【 #科學熱話 「不可能」的大氣層 🔭】

天文學家近期利用恆星掩星（stellar occultation）觀測技術，在冥族小天體（plutino） (612533) 2002 XV93 發現了極為稀薄的大氣層。

這顆天體直徑僅約 500 公里，理論上其重力不足以長期束縛大氣。然而觀測結果顯示，光變曲線（light curve）在掩星前後均出現漸暗和漸亮的趨勢，表明該天體確實擁有大氣層，並在星光穿透時產生折射現象。經進一步模型計算，科學家推測該大氣層壓力僅約 100 至 200 納巴，可能是由冰火山（cryovolcanism）活動或近期彗星撞擊所釋放的揮發性物質維持。

此發現不僅展現出現代觀測技術在探測遙遠微弱天文現象的卓越靈敏度，更挑戰了「僅大型行星能保有大氣」的傳統模型，並為研究柯伊伯帶天體作為太陽系早期演化的「化石紀錄」提供了全新維度。

【 The “Impossible” Atmosphere🔭】

Astronomers have identified a tenuous atmosphere on (612533) 2002 XV93, a plutino located in the Kuiper Belt, using high-precision stellar occultation data.

Spanning only 500km in diameter, this small object defies standard volatile-retention models, as its weak gravity should theoretically preclude atmospheric stability. The recorded light curve before and after occultation exhibited gradual dimming and brightening, suggesting the presence of an atmosphere that refracted the transiting starlight. Subsequent modelling indicated an atmospheric pressure of 100 to 200 nanobars, which scientists propose could be sustained by cryovolcanic activity or a recent bolide impact.

This discovery not only demonstrates the cutting-edge sensitivity of indirect detection methods, but also, perhaps more importantly, necessitates a revision of planetary atmospheric formation theories when exploring Kuiper Belt worlds as primordial remnants of our Solar System.

【 Discovering the Path of Biomedical Research】

Exploring New Horizons recently brought students and teacher from the Bishop Hall Jubilee School to visit the HKU-Pasteur Research Pole. During the visit, students had the unique opportunity to tour the laboratories and engage directly with researchers to gain a deeper understanding of cutting-edge scientific work. The centre also specially arranged three lab demonstrations: observing cell lines through microscope to understand their vital role in research; identifying immune cells in human blood through Flow Cytometry; and exploring bacterial culturing within biosafety cabinets alongside an introduction to DNA sequencing.

Our thanks go to Dr Wuji Zhang and to the research team of the HKU-Pasteur Research Pole for their detailed introductions and arrangements. The experience allowed students to understand how fundamental research translates into real-world impact with the fields of infectious diseases and global public health. It was truly a rewarding visit for enlightening students’ path of biomedical research!
