Ambrish Kumar is tackling the high cost of green hydrogen, currently at $5/kg, by introducing advanced nanotech electrolyzers with top-tier electrical efficiency. These compact electrolyzers significantly reduce operational costs and plant footprint, promoting the adoption of green hydrogen and aligning with UN SDGs and net-zero goals.

Only 5-10% of blind people have access to education as their education is very expensive and only limited resources are available. The Digital Braille Display System (Braille tablet) can replicate any text, graphical diagram or map to standard Braille, and provides unlimited content available (online & offline) at low cost.

The nominating institution National University of Singapore on the breakthrough: Static charge is ubiquitous, and causes a lot of problems. It reduces the efficiency of manufacturing processes, damages equipment, causes explosions, and allows particles to stick onto surfaces easily (e.g., dust on screens). As such, it influences almost all types…

Food insecurity exists in more than 1.6 billion people (i.e., over 20% of the global population). The last UN Food Systems Summit emphasised that the world’s food system is irretrievably broken. Recent developments such as the war in Ukraine and State-responses to high food prices, alongside ongoing issues like pandemic-related…

Fusion is a nuclear reaction that combines two light nuclei, producing energy; fusion reactions power stars like our sun. Producing energy from fusion would provide a carbon-free, clean, safe, and abundant source of electricity. Net energy production from fusion requires that the reactions occur in a ‘plasma’ hotter than the…

Climate Action Future – Falling Walls Circle Plenary Table 2023 With climate change being the most pressing challenge of our time, securing a sustainable future depends on aligning core human needs with sustainable climate solutions. Despite growing awareness and international commitments, progress in climate action has been inadequate and slow,…

How Deep Learning Can Give Birth to General Artificial Intelligence From chessbots to chatbots and from search algorithms to industrial assembly machines – humanity has arrived at the age of machine intelligence; or at least machine work, if we take seriously a definition of intelligence as “the abilities to learn…

How tiny wireless robots can be used for non-invasive, precise, and safe medical diagnosis and treatment Robot technology is already abundant in the medical domain, ranging from assistance in surgery to complex prosthetics. However, using tiny robots inside the body is still a fairly novel thing to do. Inspired by…

The world today is facing the greatest threat to our continuous survival as humanity. Last year was Code Red for Humanity, as the IPCC called it. The UN juxtaposes the three greatest threats facing the Globe and calls them The Triple Planetary Crisis – Climate Change, Pollution and Biodiversity loss.…
