Maxim Nikitin of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology was awarded the 2nd place in the global Falling Walls Lab Finale 2016. Maxim presented biocomputing nanoparticles which can autonomously analyse data and draw different therapeutic and diagnostic conclusions from them and, using that information, individually adapt drug delivery to…

Ocean Solutions for the Climate Crisis – Falling Walls Circle Round Table 2023 This panel discussion will focus on ocean-centred climate change mitigation and adaptation solutions. The potential of the ocean for accelerating decarbonisation merits prioritisation in the global climate-change discourse. The ocean presents substantial climate mitigation and carbon storage…

He is an antibiotics researcher who not only promises new antibiotics, but also to make existing antibiotics more efficient. The potential should be peer reviewed. Not particularly novel in its methods, all the big ones use ‘AI’ to find new molecules. Standard problems of antimicrobiotical research apply to his team…

Training Scientists for the Future – Is the PhD still up to date? – Falling Walls Circle Round Table 2023 The PhD is the foundation of the academic enterprise, the first piece of original work done by a researcher. With the significant changes seen within science and the expectations broader…

The challenge International development has traditionally followed a top-down approach to technological development and community empowerment interventions for people staying in rural communities. This approach has led to many human, technological and economic development challenges rather than solutions for rural communities, marginalised communities, and underdeveloped populations of the developing world…

Water is a clean source of energy that be used as a fuel for a hydrogen-powered, self-manufacturing hydrogen-cell car that does not need expensive hydrogen fuel stations.

Round Table: Planetary Boundary Science: Advancing Science to Save the Planet – Falling Walls Circle Round Table 2023 Recent research has shown that the interdependence of Earth system stability and resilience, along with human well-being, is paramount for establishing safe and just Earth system boundaries. In this roundtable discussion, leading…

Zhu is a pioneer in bringing AI and data science together with earth observation for retrieving valuable geoinformation from satellite remote sensing and other data sources. Her big geodata analytics algorithms enable breakthroughs in geoscientific and environmental research. Her current endeavor is the fusion of petabytes of data from satellites…

Ahmed Albagdady encourages the shift towards automation by utilizing the well-established 3D printers’ movement mechanism to provide small & medium-sized industries with affordable and customisable 3D stages with minimal skilled labour requirements.

Quantum computers require robust quantum states, but these states are extremely fragile and hard to find. Bo Peng’s research addresses this challenge by finding alternative quasiparticles with robust quantum states using computer simulations. He proposes that atomic vibrations (phonons) can perform quantum operations.
