Kai-Wen Yang has developed an innovative medical device that can perform minimal open reduction and internal fixation to unite the vertebral compression fracture.

Romanian Science Festival (RSF) is an initiative that aims to popularise STEM subjects among young people in Romania. We use sciences to set off their lifelong inquisitiveness and thrust for knowledge. That is why our motto is ‘Don’t get bored! Always be curious!’ We reach our goal firstly by providing…

Dr. Ijjas’ new cyclic theory shows that the observed properties of the universe are best explained by replacing the “big bang” with a “big bounce” – a smooth transition from contraction to expansion. Combining diverse tools from mathematical and numerical relativity, astronomy, and high energy physics, she further showed that,…

With the use of waste plastic strips from industries, shear reinforcement steel can be replaced with more environment-friendly materials, especially in smaller construction projects.

The nominating institution RWTH Aachen on the breakthrough: With the free and open source app phyphox many sensors (even present in old and cheap smartphones) become accessible for students and turns their smartphones in mobile physics labs. Phyphox offers tools and instructions from school to university level and from individual…

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…

Scientists drown in a flood of pseudo-digitalized PDF articles and research is seriously flawed: results cannot be reproduced, peer-review is defunct, there is increasing redundancy. Global challenges (e.g. COVID19 pandemic) require interdisciplinarity and integrating bits and pieces from different disciplines. The ORKG connects various ideas, approaches, methods and results in…

By utilizing nanoscale light sources as artificial photonic neurons, Matěj Hejda and his team aim to develop a novel, light-powered, high speed hardware with a brain-inspired architecture for energy-efficient AI computation.

Agnes Reiner convinced the jury and won the 1st place of the global Falling Walls Lab Finale 2017. Agnes presented her research on novel blood-based biomarkers for the early detection of ovarian cancer.
