SciAccess breaks barriers for disabled individuals in science through 4 key initiatives: 1) AstroAccess, where Disability Ambassadors conduct zero-gravity experiments aboard parabolic flights for accessible space exploration; 2) Zenith, connects blind students worldwide with space science mentors for leadership opportunities; 3) The SciAccess Conference, uniting global participants to advance disability…

Drawing inspiration from the electrocardiogram, Prof Chen created a conformable electrode as a ‘communication’ device with plants to deliver reliable electrical signals to and from plants. This innovation in plant electronics leads to the first plant-based robot that can perform delicate tasks with superior power efficiency (10,000 times less than…

Innovative materials called complex scattering media allow us to see objects even when hidden behind obstacles. Anwesh Bhattacharya is developing a new infrared camera that can break our invisibility for heat vision.

Food insecurity exists in more than 1.6 billion people (i.e., over 20% of the global population). The last UN Food Systems Summit emphasised that the world’s food system is irretrievably broken. Recent developments such as the war in Ukraine and State-responses to high food prices, alongside ongoing issues like pandemic-related…

My research sheds light on the materiality of cryptocurrencies, their communities, and markets. Locating a historically new money form, Data Money, it shows that cryptocurrencies draw on monetizing the right to send data privately on the public accounting blockchains. Employing an ethnographical study of one crypto community and a macro…

The aim of my project is to develop a quantum computing platform that natively operates on more than just zero and one in order to achieve more efficient and more powerful quantum computers.

Environmental sustainability is essential for improving health system functions, delivering better outcomes for patients, and contributing to larger social and economic benefits. Reducing both the carbon footprint and waste generation in the healthcare sector are examples of methods to achieve environmental sustainability – this escalating issue requires attention and action.…
