In the 1930s, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a “New Deal” policy to overcome the Great Depression. Less than 100 years later, the world is facing an even more global challenge: the climate crisis. In this Falling Walls Plenary Table, our international panelists ask whether this requires an equally…

The science of climate change is generally communicated through screen-based visualisations, graphs and other technical forms. However, we know from research that people respond poorly to information-heavy diagrams, seeing little connection between the abstract data values they represent and the ‘natural values’ of the ‘subjective climate’ they experience. Our encounters…

How a Nanotech Toolbox Can Revolutionise Medicine and Energy Storage The sheet of paper this text is printed on is about 100,000 nanometers thick and one hair on your head is about 50,000 nanometers wide. In our everyday experience, these are some of the smallest objects we are able to…

This collaboration between 3 curators explores the highly topical due to the pandemic societal issues raised by technology’s increasing engagement with human emotions. Drawing on the latest in neuro & cognitive sciences, and the complex relationship between mind & body, 20 international artists & 3 new commissions were selected to…

The mission of OzGrav is to capitalise on the historic first detections of gravitational waves to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped spacetime, and to inspire the next generation of Australian scientists and engineers through this new window on the Universe. The Centre brings together the Australian…

Launching October 2020, Drew Berry’s latest animations explore molecular mechanisms that power your cells, converting food and air into the flow of chemical energy that makes your body be alive. Upon a foundation of research and scientific data, Drew Berry animations reveal vast landscapes at scales of time and composition,…

By utilizing nanoscale light sources as artificial photonic neurons, Matěj Hejda and his team aim to develop a novel, light-powered, high speed hardware with a brain-inspired architecture for energy-efficient AI computation.

The project would significantly contribute to retrospective and prospective clinicopathology of cancer diagnosis and establishment of a novel field in medical science based on 3D histopathology.

To measure the magnetic moment of the muon to unprecedented precision in the search for new fundamental particles and forces that may contribute to the muon’s internal magnetism. By producing copious numbers of subatomic muon particles in a powerful accelerator, a precise measurement of the muon spin precession and the…
