As smarter, faster, and cheaper industrial robots are at the verge of revolutionising manufacturing worldwide, it seems we are ready to entrust them with more diverse tasks, ranging from collaboratively assembling products with people to providing front-of-house customer service. Already today, hospitals, hotels, and logistics companies use robots to provide…

Native Scientist connects children and scientists across Europe using a new concept integrating science and language learning (STEM+LANG). Our educational and empowerment programme targets migrant children who are twice as likely to underachieve in science than non-migrants. In school workshops using a speed-dating format, the project brings together 20 children…

The key to understanding the interplay between cancer and the immune system is quantifying the spatial biology and co-expression patterns of critical cell types. We used lessons from astronomy (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) to efficiently map tumor pathology tissues with high-fidelity, single-cell resolution using multispectral microscopy. The resultant AstroPath platform…

We developed a catheter delivery system based on a balloon catheter with integrated microneedles on top of it, enabling localized delivery of therapeutics into targeted blood vessel walls. Tags: Bio-Tech, Engineering, Med-Tech, Mobile Health.

Piero Beraun is addressing the environmental and health concerns associated with synthetic inks in the textile industry by proposing an industrial-scale extraction of pigments from macroalgae. This environmentally friendly solution involves using seaweed as a sustainable resource for fabric dye, offering an alternative to the polluting synthetic inks currently prevalent…
