Breaking the Wall to Quantum Gravity Evelina Domnitch, Dmitry Gelfand Art & Science Breaking the Wall to Quantum Gravity Two corotating vortices, joined together by a slender vortical bridge, drift through an enormous aquarium. Shining through the water’s surface, an expanded laser beam transforms the vortex pair into a moving lens that upwardly projects two black holes encircled by shimmering halos. Vortices may collide with one another (as in… Watch Video Share

Malaria Control: How to Stop Malaria Transmission with a Microsporidian Symbiont Jeremy Herren Global Call Winner Life Sciences Malaria Control: How to Stop Malaria Transmission with a Microsporidian Symbiont I have been developing a self-regenerating system of symbiotic microbe-based malaria control. My team recently demonstrated that a Microsporidian symbiont completely blocks the transmission of the malaria parasite by Anopheles mosquitoes. This symbiotic microbe can be disseminated through insect populations and by virtue of sexual and vertical transmission (mother to… Watch Video Share
