The first phase of this project is to recycle the liquid cassava waste and collect the sugar waste from the sugar factory. The second phase will be to produce Bioethanol.

The nominating institution Empa about the breakthrough: Controlling the spread of COVID-19 is an urgent global challenge. Airborne respiratory droplets play a significant role in human-to-human transmission. Jing’s group quantifies the infection risk of COVID-19 by various transmission routes. He then develops highly accurate sensors for fast detection in the…

Air pollutants influence acute respiratory diseases. Personal exposure to particulate matter and trace gases is complex to investigate as the distribution of air pollutants can be heterogeneous. Official monitoring stations are sparse. Deployment of low-cost air quality sensors in a network of citizen scientists achieves physical closeness to the persons…

Tammy Ma: Breaking the Wall to Limitless Energy – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 Nuclear fission, while a potent source of energy, is not without its significant challenges. One of the primary issues lies in the radioactive waste generated during the process. Fission reactions produce long-lived radioactive isotopes that pose…
