Breaking the Wall of Mutualism Jordi Bascompte Life Sciences Breaking the Wall of Mutualism The nominating institute University of Zurich on the breakthrough: While mutualism was already acknowledged by Darwin, almost all studies have focused on highly specialized, one-on-one interactions. This misses the fact that mutualism shapes networks of interdependencies involving dozens of species. Bascompte’s work fills this gap by showing that the structure… Watch Video Share

Retinal Prostheses: Reverting Blindness through Neurotechnology Diego Ghezzi Engineering & Technology Global Call Winner Retinal Prostheses: Reverting Blindness through Neurotechnology Retinal prostheses hold the potential to revert blindness in profoundly blind people. However, devices should provide visual perception at high resolution and, most importantly, over a wide visual angle to be valuable in everyday activities. To solve this technological challenge, we have developed and validated a photovoltaic wide-field retinal implant… Watch Video Share
