「科學為民」服務巡禮聯合政府多個部門及其他機構舉辦活動，目的是向市民介紹政府部門及相關機構的科學工作，以及如何應用科技提供公眾服務。在今年八月至十二月，「科學為民」會推出一連串以「科學向未來」為題的活動，包括論壇及講座、科學體驗活動、工作坊和參觀活動，歡迎公眾參與，了解科學如何提升我們的生活質素。

Digital Arc-less DC socket ensures greater safety, reliability and energy efficiency for DC power transmission, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications in smart buildings.

近年全球都致力減低碳排放，本港有科研機構研發出新的直流電電子系統，加強用電能源效益。
一般電力分為直流電和交流電，而由於交流電在使用上較安全，所以較為普及，一般入屋的就是交流電。
不過直流電的好處電壓穩定，如冷氣機等要長期用電的家庭電器，用直流電可更加節能。有科研機構就研發出可安全使用直流電的電子系統，並把入屋的交流電，全轉換成直流電，達致省電效果。
科研機構集成電路及系統副總監李天河指出：「由於我們現有的電源，也是交流電，所以便有一個交流(電)，變直流(電)的轉換，如果我們的電源，來到家中已經是直流電的話，便省卻了交流(電)轉直流(電)轉換，從而省卻了能源損耗。」
團隊說透過用中央轉換器，將交流電轉成直流電，可較現時方法節省百分之15的能源損耗。
要推廣直流電，第二步是為直流電研發專用的電子斷路器。
李天河稱：「我們做的電子斷路器，跟傳統的機械斷路器，內部結構就有很大分別，我們的電子斷路器裡面，它便是沒有機械，是全電子運作，所以是沒有機械動作，速度會比傳統斷路器快一百倍以上。 」
科研機構正在部分辦公室，檢視新系統的節能效果，並進行一系列模擬室外溫度和濕度測試，研究將系統安裝在室外的可能性。

ASTRI Deputy Director Dr. River Li was invited by RTHK radio to introduce the DC building technology and related DC power supply system.

The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) won Silver award in Innovations Geneva 2021 for Advanced Breaker for Energy Efficient DC Buildings technology.

The Innovation and technology industry is one of the key economic areas that the Hong Kong Government seeks to further develop. However, sci-tech innovation companies often face difficulties in financing and industrialization.
