Thomas Gasser and Ferenc Krausz in conversation – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 What does it take to achieve a scientific breakthrough and how can it impact the world around us? On the last Summit Day Ferenc Krausz, 2023 Nobel Prize laureate in Physics, and Thomas Gasser, the recipient of…

The Tactile Universe is an outreach project at the University of Portsmouth’s Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation. We are developing accessible teaching resources and workshops to make current topics in astrophysics, traditionally a visual science, accessible to young people with vision impairments. By running training workshops for science communicators across…

We use machine learning to explore quantitative raw material data. Our algorithm delivers process information at unprecedented level of detail, which allows for improving production sustainability.   Tags: Artificial Intelligence, Circular Economy, Digitalisation, Energy, Engineering, Environment & Nature, Future /green cities, Renewable energies.

Aerosols are key elements of the atmosphere and the Earth system, influencing air quality, climate and human health in the Anthropocene. They scatter or absorb sunlight, serve as nuclei for clouds and precipitation, and adversely affect human health. In particular, human respiratory aerosols are involved in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2…

Dyllon Garth Randall developed a profit-making opportunity for wastewater treatment. Using his technology, salts can be filtered out of the water and subsequently sold on, meaning that the investment pays for itself.

Following the tracks of ancient civilizations, Jawaad Issoop’s project democratizes building as the solution uses the material that is excavated, and the system allows anyone to build to their own convenience.

The nominating institution EagleBurgmann on the breakthrough: With two product innovations a significant source of direct natural gas emission at gas compression can be eliminated: Leakage of the shaft seals and venting of the casings of centrifugal compressors. The saving potential sums up to more than 20 million t/a CO2e…

The project brings science film experiences to scientists, artists, children and the general public across the world. We have developed a process over the last four years that takes science from the lab and brings it to life with the power of film. Filmmaking events teach scientists, artists and children…
