Superheroes against Superbugs (SaS) initiative partners with young children to raise awareness of antibiotic resistance (ABR; a subset of Antimicrobial resistance or AMR) to promote community dialogue and action. The program uses Grassroots comics, a simple, cost-effective engagement tool that enables children, irrespective of their artistic skills, to develop their…

The nominating institution University of Cambridge on the breakthrough: An IoT-based system for continuous, remote, autonomous, and real-time ambulatory healthcare monitoring and recommendation system has been developed for nations with stressed healthcare resources. The AmbuSens system, which evolved into EpiOne, monitors patients in transit between rural healthcare units to specialty…

This Round Table will mark the global launch of the report ‘Confidence in Research’ conducted by Economist Impact and supported by Elsevier. Digitalization has impacted not only the practice and dissemination of scientific knowledge, but also the credibility of how scientific information is judged. Putting scientific research at the forefront,…

Experts in quantum logic spectroscopy and highly charged ions have teamed up for the first high resolution coherent laser spectroscopy of a highly charged ion. This breakthrough, which has pushed resolution by eight orders of magnitude, enables proposed sensitive tests of fundamental constants and interactions, novel dark matter searches, as…
