To attain the full potential promised by quantum technologies, joint efforts to cross borders between countries, continents, science and industry is an absolute necessity. In this Round Table talk, the status, future development and the applications of quantum technologies will be discussed with scientists, managers and international officials. The event…

To solve the plastic waste problem, Koffi Alain Fabrice Kouamé has set up a process called plastic pyrolysis that turns plastic waste into fuel. The resulting fuel has been used by drivers and it is judged to be very effective.

Ahmed Albagdady encourages the shift towards automation by utilizing the well-established 3D printers’ movement mechanism to provide small & medium-sized industries with affordable and customisable 3D stages with minimal skilled labour requirements.

Li-ion batteries are currently the most potent and widely used energy storage concept. To render the use of Li-Ion Batteries sustainable, suitable recycling concepts are urgently needed.

Following the tracks of ancient civilizations, Jawaad Issoop’s project democratizes building as the solution uses the material that is excavated, and the system allows anyone to build to their own convenience.

How the Study of Ancient DNA Traces Human Origins In the early years of his career as a scientist, Svante Pääbo changed the course of his studies from molecular biology to evolutionary genetics – and at the same time the course of the latter scientific field itself. By drying a…

The world has clear goals on reducing CO2 emissions to limit catastrophic climate change. But society needs chemicals – fuels, fertilizers, precursors for plastics and pharmaceuticals – where do these come from if we must reduce and eventual stop fossil fuel use? With easy availability of low-cost renewable electricity comes…

Maliha Sharmin is addressing the challenge of developing a dengue vaccine that effectively targets all four antigenically distinct serotypes of the virus. Her proposed solution involves investigating the role of specific miRNAs in dengue virus replication and exploring the potential use of antisense oligonucleotides targeting these miRNAs as a promising…

We have developed an open platform for remote control of scientific equipment with live video for desktop and mobile devices. Supporting material guides the students through the lab at various levels, up to graduate students. The platform currently focuses on plasma physics but can be easily adapted for other fields.…

How embracing Disorder in nanotechnology may lead to Quantum Machines While most of us are just trying to keep up with the latest marvels of the digital age, like talking smart phones and robotic vacuum cleaners, some are focused instead on finding ways to reinvent computing altogether. One of the…
