SCI & TECHOct 9Spirit of Hong Kong Awards: firm uses 3D-printed tiles to restore coral reefsIn 2014, a University of Hong Kong research team watched two years of reef restoration work collapse in Sai Kung. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department had asked the researchers to speed up coral recovery. Cement structures were placed on the seabed and coral began to grow. But as the colonies became larger, they became unstable. “They have no roots,” said Vriko Yu Pik-fan, then a doctoral student on the project. “The bigger they got, the less stable they were.” That failure...South China Morning Post

SCI & TECHOct 8Well-preserved fossil tells how mammals learned to swallow during the time of dinosaursEen goed bewaard fossiel van 165 miljoen jaar oud toont wetenschappers hoe zoogdieren ten tijde van de dino's een nieuwe manier van slikken ontwikkelden. De vondst is zo goed bewaard gebleven dat de omtrek van het dier duidelijk te zien is en zelfs afdrukken van zijn huid en vacht herkenbaar zijn. Het fossiel werd enkele jaren geleden in China gevonden. Het gaat om een dier dat op een kruising tussen een bever en een vogelbekdier leek, met de platte, geschubde staart van een bever en de krachtige zwempoten van het vogelbekdier. Met zijn gewicht van 1 à 2 kilo en lengte van 50 centimeter was heNOS Buitenland
