Working at the intersection of technology, art and design, Jiabao Li creates new ways for humans to perceive the world. “TransVision” questions the habitual ways in which we interpret the visual world intervened by digital media through three perceptual machines. In “Glacier’s Lament”, she collaborated with glaciologists to turn esoteric…

The nominating institute University of Malta on the breakthrough: Schembri-Wismayer and Jasra’s method for rapidly producing pluripotent stem cells uses small-molecule inducers without a feeder layer, resulting in reduced risk and much greater clinical use potential. This is a major improvement over other methods currently on the market. Safe and…

Extending high-precision measurements towards isotopes of the heaviest elements is challenging as these are only available on an atom-at-a-time level. This demands extremely efficient and sensitive tailored ion trap and laser spectroscopy approaches at large-scale accelerators featuring highest stability for measurement times up to days. This will improve our understanding…

Our curriculum and science engagements make learning science a fun, hands-on and relevant experience for 3 – 14 year olds. These are offered all-year round through our science clubs running both inside and outside schools. We also train young scientists to be great science communicators through our fellowship program. During…

How Technology and Innovation Will Invent a New Future of Old Age Since 1900, the industrialised world has gained nearly 30 extra years of longevity. Ageing has become a disruptive force in many countries and economies, not only because there are more walkers and wheelchairs than baby buggies in some…

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,…

Over the last 30 years, a large body of scholarship has shown that high-quality practices in social and emotional learning can make a substantial difference in children’s educational experiences, and may serve as a powerful lever for transforming children’s learning and positive behavior at scale. Specifically, research indicates that preparing…

Several studies attempt to unravel the causes of excitatory/inhibitory imbalance in schizophrenia. The pitfall is the loose control of the exact target cells keeping an excessive level of abstraction. Enrico Patrono argues that implementing microfluidic chips called Brain-on-a-Chip, an innovative in-vitro-silico model for neural circuits allows high temporal and spatial…
