This Winners Session presents the Top 10 breakthroughs in the Science and Innovation Management category. From Stanford University to the Max Delbrück Center, and from EPFL to CERN – every institution, and with it every society, faces challenges. How to share knowledge? How to improve the Peer Review Process? How…

The nominating institution SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory on the breakthrough: The Higgs boson is a unique particle endowing mass to all other particles. Giant digital cameras are needed to observe its precise properties and probe how the elementary building blocks of matter interact. At SLAC we are constructing the core…

Thomas Gasser and Ferenc Krausz in conversation – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 What does it take to achieve a scientific breakthrough and how can it impact the world around us? On the last Summit Day Ferenc Krausz, 2023 Nobel Prize laureate in Physics, and Thomas Gasser, the recipient of…

How a Global Parliament of Cities Can Establish a Sustainable Democracy With the growing recognition of cities as powerful engines of global cultural, social, and political innovation, urban studies and planning are the object of unprecedented attention, sourcing new findings from the most diverse fields of research. At the same…

The laboratory is working on new possibilities for processing medical images using neural networks. It is planned to create new neural network architectures to work on this task. Tags: Artificial Intelligence, Digital Health, Med-Tech.

Conventional accelerators require multiple football fields in length to reach very high particle energies (multi-billion eV). Laser-powered, plasma-based accelerators, where electrons surf on waves, can do this in just a few 10’s of cm. This plasma technology is at the brink of offering a profoundly different way in which we…

Ankita is working on nano-fiber filters that efficiently remove particles and enable good flow with the help of surface coating technology. These two functions are mutually exclusive in conventional filters.
