基本情况:
香港大学-中国科学院新材料合成和检测联合实验室是 1997年中国科学院和香港大学(化学系和物理系)成立的一个开放实验室﹐其宗旨是在提供一个地方在香港大学﹐给中科院的科研人员在香港做学术交流和进行新材料的研究﹐最终目的是在提高香港和中国内地在发展新材料上有突破性的研究和培养年青科学家﹐成立早期只是一个虚拟中心﹐由港大唐叔贤教授(院士)为首任主任(Director)。一开始科研是鼓励国内中科院科研机构，中科院院士，和中国合肥科技大学来港大做学术交流研究。
支志明院士(化学系)在2001年接任为主任(Director)， 港大提供了240平方米的地方成立一个真正的开放实验室；并提供了很大的资源来购买了一系列的先进仪器 (见资源和设备清单)，实验室经装修在2001年末完成，在2002年正式启用(装修费用和仪器设备共超过7佰万港币)。
