The mission of OzGrav is to capitalise on the historic first detections of gravitational waves to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped spacetime, and to inspire the next generation of Australian scientists and engineers through this new window on the Universe. The Centre brings together the Australian…

Paradigm is inspired by ideas of science and is a metaphor for potential; the potential to grow, take risks, and be bold and brave. These are all qualities which are necessary for scientific progress and reflect the ambition and intention of the Crick Institute. I chose weathered steel as the…

With senseBox one can build, create and easily code stationary or mobile devices equipped with sensors for environmental phenomena like temperature, air quality or light pollution. The devices are connected to the internet and submit the measurements to the IoT-platform openSenseMap. The project is a breakthrough because it empowers children,…

In this Falling Walls Breakthrough Conversation, digital participants had the chance to engage in a live conversation with Sheila Jasanoff. She talked about her role as Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies at the Harvard Kennedy School, the ethics of genome editing and the importance of doing interdisciplinary research.…

To combat hearing loss associated with using earphones, Victoria Kolesnikova proposes using special apps to control and limit sound impact.

Using silver and natural plant polyphenols (the molecules behind hard-to-remove wine stains), JJ Richardson creates antimicrobial coatings that stick to any surface and neutralize viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Richardson’s universally adherent antimicrobial coatings can be sprayed on by non-experts in the home or hospital, are so thin you can’t see…

Cancer is the leading cause of death in high-income countries. Over 9.6 million people die every year from cancer. This disease is also present in other species across the tree of life. I have mapped 1098 species on the map of Earth, according to their habitat and diet, and have…

We contribute to the project with our simulated moving bed technology to separate sugars and sugar alcohols from the mixed sugar streams.

Hip Pro+ consists of a combination of electronic hardware and sensors that analyse movements up to 1,000 times per second, helping reduce the risks posed by hip injuries.
