How Gravitational Waves Let Us Hear the Sound of Space For centuries we’ve only possessed one sense to explore space: our eyes. Everything we know about the universe is based on things we observed gazing at the stars. Using powerful telescopes and ever-more sophisticated technology, we have managed to map…

The nominating institution University of Zurich on the breakthrough: Neuromorphic and quantum computers will revolutionize the way we perform calculations. Both concepts require new hardware foundations, creating a demand for quantum materials with exotic properties. In particular, systems with topological effects — described using tools from the name-bearing field of…

Marie Louise Conradsen is Head of Open Science at Aarhus University (Denmark). Since 2016, she has led the university’s use of “open innovation in science” as a new model for IP-free industry collaboration – within several research areas incl. material sciences, food, drug discovery and carbon capture. The Open Discovery…

“Julich-Brain” is the first 3D-atlas of the human brain that reflects the variability of the brain’s structure on the micro-level. It features close to 250 areas, more than 24000 brain sections were digitized, assembled in 3D and mapped. Big Data workflows and algorithms to detect areas helped assemble a never…

Municipal waste, which includes domestic rubbish (garbage) and some industrial and building waste, is usually consigned to landfills. These may vary from holes in the ground to engineered sites designed to protect the environment from pollution by run-off waters and leachates. Zahrat Al-Finjan landfill is located in Jenin Governorate. It.…

Evan Eichler is a Professor of Genome Sciences and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. He is a leader in characterizing normal and disease-causing structural variation in the human genome with a specific focus on finishing complex regions that carry genes. His lab demonstrated that such dynamic regions both predispose the…

Klemens presented his work on “Breaking the Wall of Infection Diagnostics”. He revolutionised infection diagnostics with a simple yet impressive idea on detecting bacteria in blood. He developed an innovative way for specific and rapid pathogen concentration to fundamentally change sensitive and automated pathogen detection at a very low cost.

I built a web app that allows people to help survey the trees in the cities, identify their species, keep track of their growth and help scientists to understand how trees react to climate change. With a simple formula, we calculate an approximate value of their Carbon fixation and he…
