Ready to take a deep dive into the Top 10 breakthroughs in the Physical Sciences category? This Winners Session will take you from the bottom of the ocean all the way to outer space to explore the most remote living environments. Learn about new ways to observe climate-related changes on…

Scientists drown in a flood of pseudo-digitalized PDF articles and research is seriously flawed: results cannot be reproduced, peer-review is defunct, there is increasing redundancy. Global challenges (e.g. COVID19 pandemic) require interdisciplinarity and integrating bits and pieces from different disciplines. The ORKG connects various ideas, approaches, methods and results in…

Using the XFEL at SLAC, we are constructing a compact X-ray laser oscillator that will open exciting new research opportunities in quantum optics, materials science, and ultra-precision metrology. Tags: Energy, Quantum Technologies.

Saeka Uchino has tried to establish an effective strategy to improve the immune function of breast milk in both quantity and quality by characterizing the IgA-producing cell lines that she succeeded to establish.

The nominating institution Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research on the breakthrough: In February, SORMAS was extended by a module for the control of COVID-19. Since then, it supports international health authorities in risk assessment and disease control. SORMAS is already used in Ghana and Nigeria, and the governments of 8…

The nominating institution DAAD on the breakthrough: Treating your vagus nerve can help to break walls between people. It controls how our heart is beating, and is responsible for many phenomena ensuring a positive social functioning. Laborde started his research career because of the headbutt of Zidane in 2006, willing…

Quantum teleportation allows a “disembodied” transmission of unknown quantum states between distant quantum systems. Yet, all teleportation experiments to date were limited to a two-dimensional subspace of quantized multiple levels of the quantum systems. Here, Manuel Erhard and colleagues propose a scheme for teleportation of arbitrarily high-dimensional photonic quantum states…

Xiyue Zhang argues that we need to improve osseointegration in patients with osteoporotic fractures after implantation of fixation screws and reduce the risk of secondary fractures and screw loosening. Using a TiCu alloy can enhance the fixation stability and accelerate osteointegration, thus reducing the risk of aseptic loosening during the…

Msawenkosi Mkhize is addressing the growing concern of water scarcity exacerbated by factors like climate change and population growth. His solution involves the use of IoT technology to automate the recycling of greywater, reducing costs, waste, and potential toxic exposure while allowing remote monitoring and control of the process.

The MetaGait rehabilitation device, with its innovative combination of hardware (walk stimulation device) and software (virtual reality games), makes rehabilitation less stressful and more effective.
