Drawing Operations 1&2 and Omnia per Omnia trace an evolving process of making with robotic units and AI technologies. The evolution forms the basis of human and machine collaboration. By working with machines as collaborators, the drawing and painting artifacts exist as both works of art and research.

The recent paradigm shift in cerebellar neuroscience calls for the introduction of mundane technologies to fully unravel the role of the cerebellum in disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or ataxia. A novel approach comprising of optical (fNIRS) and electrophysiological (EEG) measurements can be used as a flexible diagnostic and monitoring tool…

The nominating institution EPFL on the breakthrough: Safe and affordable housing and infrastructure are key to sustainable global development and rely on construction materials such as cement. Cement production is responsible for ~8% of global CO2 emission. Limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) allows up to 50% reduction of CO2 emission…

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…

C-DELTA is a breakthrough in creating a platform for large scale training on digital education for students and teachers around the world for free. It is about how to make digital learning more efficient for individuals and the society by recognising digital identity and footprints online, creating and sharing digital…

In the current study, we used bioinspiration educational programs for adults, taking place at the zoo as part of lifelong learning. Bioinspiration is an interdisciplinary methodology in which biological principles are applied to human challenges with a sustainable development emphasis, through innovative design. We used hands-on activities with wildlife to…

Life is built from proteins, like the cells in our skin, hair, eyes, and also viruses. We have developed am approach to exploit the quantum properties of proteins to translate them to sound, and use it to better understand biomaterials, and treat diseases. Based on the similarities between the structure…

In 2015, Europe’s governments were, for the lack of a better word, overwhelmed by the influx of over 1 million refugees. The affected countries squabbled over a unified response and ultimately failed in organising a joint effort to manage what was termed the worst refugee crisis since the Second World…

Aldo Steinfeld (PhD University of Minnesota, 1989) is a full professor at the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich, where he holds the professorship for renewable energy sources. From 2004-2014, he headed the Solar Engineering Laboratory at the Paul Scherrer Institute. At ETH, he was head of…
