Salah El Sadi wants to provide clean water for irrigation by using unique biofilters to purify water from nitrates and other contaminants without using any chemical additives or energy.

Using the XFEL at SLAC, we are constructing a compact X-ray laser oscillator that will open exciting new research opportunities in quantum optics, materials science, and ultra-precision metrology. Tags: Energy, Quantum Technologies.

Her scholarship changes the landscape of current thinking about what it means to be a “state” and to accept the role of “citizen.” It considers a set of institutional arrangements that not only embody an explicit set of values (the moral part) but also ensure, first, democratic practices that work…

Ent- is an immersive projection exploring the impacts of quantum computing through a perception-based experience. As the only artist in the world working directly with quantum computing & art, Heaney wrote her own code for IBM’s quantum computers to reveal unique signatures of entanglement & used these to create a…

Rewriting Social Sciences: How humanity’s destiny can be framed by shared heritages through oceanic connections How can we think of the world as composed of categories derived from particular spaces and lifeworlds, rather than a space with categories seen as universal? How do we move beyond contingent formations, like nations…

We used nanomaterials to demonstrate light-powered levitation of microflyers. For the first time, we devised macroscopic objects that can fly without any moving parts using photophoresis, or light-induced airflow. This new flight mechanism will enable 1) sunlight-powered meter-scale vehicles in the upper atmosphere collecting information about our changing climate and…

The fast growth of greenhouse emissions in developing countries is a serious cause of concern for the sustainability of the world climate system. Improved quality of life and the resulting consumer behavior changes of large parts of their populations are causing countries such as China, India and Indonesia to rapidly…

We are a non-profit, independent, creative digital science communication platform. We create social network based content that is entertaining, rigorous and informative. Our work focuses on making interesting what is important, science. We like to think of Shots de Ciencia as a machine that takes in scientific papers or other…

We’re a Peruvian nonprofit using participatory storytelling and community-based research to engage learners and educators in fishing villages. They gain insights into their changing social-ecological systems in a shifting climate and industrialized planet. Through “edutainment” workshops, programs, and festivals, we provide tools and spaces to foster encounters, establishing relations between…

Thomas Gasser: Breaking the Wall of Parkinson – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 Neuroscientist Thomas Gasser was awarded the Breakthrough Prize in Life Science in September 2023 for his groundbreaking research into genetic risk factors for Parkinson’s disease. He has been head of clinical research at the German Center for…
