Entering its ninth year, the Future Science Prize, an annual mega event for the scientific community, will be held in Hong Kong again this year.
ZHANG Tao, a researcher at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and LI Yadong, a professor at Tsinghua University, are jointly awarded the Physical Science Prize this year for their contribution to the research and development of Single-Atom Catalysis.
Catalysis is the use of catalysts to speed up chemical reactions. Professor ZHANG discovered the synthesis, characterisation, and catalytic properties of a single-atom Pt catalyst embedded in an FeOx substrate. Professor LI systematically advanced the deterministic and controlled synthesis of single-atom catalysts with structurally-defined morphology and coordination environment of the metal centre. Their research has important implications for future physical and biological research, and industrial manufacturing.

Episode 1: Cell Reprogramming – DENG Hongkui
The significance of science prizes lies not only in the recognition of the outstanding scientific research achievements of scientists, but also in the provision of a platform for mutual stimulation and inspiration, as well as promotion of the research achievements through popular science at all levels.
Entering its ninth year, the Future Science Prize, an annual mega event for the scientific community, will be held in Hong Kong again this year. DENG Hongkui, the Boya Chair Professor of Peking University and Leading Scientist of Changping Laboratory, is awarded the Life Science Prize this year. Professor DENG is dedicated to the research on stem cells and regenerative medicine. His “cell reprogramming” technology has pathbreaking implications for the treatment of chronic illnesses.
