SciCo was founded in 2008 and it consists of scientists, academics, educators, artists and people with an interest in everyday science. SciCo is the founder of all science…

It is a breakthrough for mathematics to have its own International Day (IDM) every year on March 14, proclaimed by UNESCO. It follows an open, participative approach to connect all through a central portal, an interactive event map, activities, calls, videos, etc. The first IDM “Mathematics is Everywhere” was held…

We used our more than 12 years of giving training in STEM subjects to 1000s of students in face to face setup and innovation labs around Egypt, and designed our online courses content to: keep the enrolled students engaged, give the sensation of hands-on experience using simulations, gamification and other…

Just four crops (maize, rice, wheat, and soybean) provide over 60% of the world’s food. This is a challenge now and a huge risk in the future. Can we be sure that, by themselves, a few “major” crops will nourish over 9 billion people on a warming planet? Our reliance…

Female Leadership in Science, Business and Society The Falling Walls Foundation and the Bayer Foundation invited to a mutual networking event in July 2021. The Female Science Talents Gathering offered all participants discussion formats that allow insightful connections with outstanding female leaders and scientists. We were happy to welcome three…

Capitalizing on smart thermobimetal’s natural tendency to curl as the temperature rises, DORIS SUNG’s refreshing aesthetic skillfully disguises its true purpose: to use no energy to save energy in buildings. With goals to self-shade, self-ventilate, self-assemble or self-propel, Sung’s projects defy standard categorization. With a keen understanding of computation, biology,…

Emily Hsue-Chi Shi is addressing the inefficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) commonly used in smartphone screens, focusing on the limitations posed by the non-emitting “dark” triplet state. Her solution involves designing molecules with a reduced singlet-triplet gap, facilitating thermal activation of electrons and maximising OLED efficiency for improved electroluminescence…

We argue that much of sharing online misinformation is due to people simply being distracted from thinking about whether news is accurate, rather than purposeful sharing of falsehoods. As a result, we show that subtly shifting users’ attention to accuracy increases the quality of the news that they share. Accuracy…
