This is a podcast where I get to talk with various people (Africans) in the STEM field. They talk passionately about the research and projects and how it is contributing to society. Also, I allow them to provide me with a back story of who they are and why they…

To attain the full potential promised by quantum technologies, joint efforts to cross borders between countries, continents, science and industry is an absolute necessity. In this Round Table talk, the status, future development and the applications of quantum technologies will be discussed with scientists, managers and international officials. The event…

Following over 20 years of intensive, collaborative development work, European companies and research institutes have created a revolutionary new manufacturing technology for mass-producing powerful micro-chips: EUV lithography. Because EUV light is absorbed even by air, ZEISS SMT created an optical system for the EUV lithography machine that consists of the…

‘Canticum Megapterae’ is a collaborative electronic music album inspired by the beauty and structure of humpback whale songs, and aiming at raising awareness of other intelligent species. By combining science and art, the project’s purpose is to break the walls between different disciplines, and between human and animal cultures. The…

Retinal prostheses hold the potential to revert blindness in profoundly blind people. However, devices should provide visual perception at high resolution and, most importantly, over a wide visual angle to be valuable in everyday activities. To solve this technological challenge, we have developed and validated a photovoltaic wide-field retinal implant…

BIOLILOLAB is a lab focused on projects on prototyping and deprototyping biomaterials in the liquid, solid and gaseous states. In a short way, an autonomous lab guided by the experiment. BIOLILOLAB is a small independent lab with a fridge, incubators, spectrophotometer and the basic glassware necessary for biology experiments. BIOLILOLAB…

We provide evidence that reducing the distribution of drugs (e.g diclofenac) with proven CV risk in the heart using nanoparticles will reduce their CV complications without compromising the efficacy.   Tags: Bio-Tech, Med-Tech, Health Sciences.

HOW IMMUNISATION AND MALARIA CONTROL ARE SAVING SENEGAL’S NEW GENERATIONS According to The Economist, child mortality in Senegal has dropped fourty percent in just five years from 2005 to 2010, one of fastest reductions the world has ever witnessed. The country had falls of more than eight percent a year…

Edwin Rodríguez is addressing the environmental impact of human activities in the face of climate change by introducing an innovative environmental analysis service for surface waters. This solution aims to provide crucial insights into the presence of contaminants, including emerging ones, through a simplified sampling and analysis process, enabling a…

Carlos Abad is addressing the challenge faced by people with reduced mobility by developing a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology that utilises bioelectrical signals from the brain to control electromechanical actuator elements. The project successfully implemented BCI sensors to control a wheelchair, with predetermined thoughts and a mobile application assisting in…
