Six Nobel Prize winners dropped truth bombs about curiosity-driven research at Hong Kong University's "Nobel Heroes Forum" this week, proving that geeking out over atoms and molecules can literally change the world. 💥
Marking the 75th anniversary of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, the event saw physics legend Ferenc Krausz praise Hong Kong's academic ecosystem: "This city isn't just about finance – we're building quantum bridges between global minds!" 🌉
2023 physics laureate Krausz and graphene pioneer Konstantin Novoselov (2010 winner) schooled young researchers on breaking boundaries, while chemistry Nobelist Kurt Wuthrich dropped the ultimate mic drop: "Fail spectacularly, then fail better – that's how you level up in science." 🎤⬇️
HKU President Zhang Xiang emphasized the forum's 2026 relevance: "From AI to climate tech, today's 'useless' discoveries become tomorrow's life-saving apps." The event comes as Asian R&D spending hits record highs, with Hong Kong positioning itself as a global science hub. 🚀
