Our project involves installation of mobile breastfeeding booths in public places. The booths are unique, private, clean and gives mothers a comfortable place to breastfeed. We aim to increase EBF levels.

Tonico Deodato’s project investigates the influence of social motivation on the social impairments present in children with ASD through observation of their helping and cooperative behavioural tendencies.

For refugees around the world, the options to earn an income are often severely limited. Without a work permit, they are often stuck in limbo, displaced and with little money to spare. Yet they have innate talents within them in the form of their language, their story and culture. Aline…

To put the Solar System’s terrestrial planets in context, the detection and characterization of low-mass exoplanets is important but challenging. The Dispersed Matter Planet Project targets stars with anomalously low Ca II H and K chromospheric emission, indicative of circumstellar absorbing gas. Tags: Space & the Universe

The nominating institution SLAC Stanford on the breakthrough: The advent of the high-temperature superconducting materials in 1986 has motivated the enduring search for novel systems that one day may carry lossless electricity at room temperature. Using a novel Jenga building block approach, we have discovered a superconducting nickel oxide. This…

In this Falling Walls Breakthrough Conversation with Hemai Parthasarathy, digital participants had the chance to discuss and ask questions. The interview series provided an intense personal atmosphere, in which high-level guests, speakers and panelists of the Falling Walls Science Summit 2021 focused on their individual research, career paths and experiences.…

According to Sarah Martell, hydrogen is a promising clean fuel source to replace fossil fuels. Although hydrogen fuel is considered clean and sustainable, common production methods are unsustainable and emit CO2. Her solution is to synthesize a material called porous silicon nanoparticles derived from abundant starting materials. By simply adding…

My project harnessed the power contained in macromolecules; these proteins capture carbon dioxide and produce 10 million molecules of carbonates, fuels, and energy in as little as a second.

Digitalisation reduces carbon emissions to a great extent in many sectors and therefore helps to protect the environment. Simultaneously, the increasing use of digital technologies requires an immense amount of energy. To promote a resource-efficient economy, we need to consider energy efficiency and sustainability as core elements – not only…
