I plead for a design turn within the social sciences, in order to foster the renewal of empirical methods from an analytical towards a co-productive synthetic approach of knowledge production.

A platform for high-quality journal-independent peer-review in the life sciences. Review Commons was created by EMBO and ASAPbio to provide expert peer review of preprints before they are submitted to a journal. The process is handled by professional scientific editors, who ensure that reviewers are qualified and have no conflicts…

Gerhard Widmer talked about what makes music come alive, what it means for a computer to learn fundamental principles of expressive (piano) performance, and how, by using this learned knowledge, it can contribute to expressive music making – not as a replacement for human pianists, but as a musical companion.

Christoph Lotz argues that the development of innovative systems for additive manufacturing techniques combined with in situ resource utilization are a promising solution for permanently going to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

A key challenge on the road towards a functional quantum computer is to integrate the individually demonstrated components into a functional and scalable device. I have pioneered the realization of fully chip-integrated quantum gates with trapped ions and have recently demonstrated a high-fidelity self-contained computation register that is both resource-efficient…

Tapping into the power of art as a conduit for change, artists around the world are to an ever-greater extent using their work to weigh in on some of the most pressing political and social issues of our times – be it extremism, the refugee crisis or the effects of…

Taking third place was Srilahari Namani of India. She presented a computer-aided method to rapidly identify different species of mosquitos which can be used locally to prevent diseases transmitted by mosquitos.

Background and Aim In Japan, it has been noted that interest in science declines as the school year progresses. According to the 2019 TIMSS results, the percentage of elementary and middle school students who say “studying science is fun” declined as they reached middle school, falling below the international average…

The nominating institution SLAC Stanford on the breakthrough: A critical challenge in understanding function in the human brain is lack of access to human brain tissue for investigation by imaging, recording, and stimulation. We developed innovative technologies that allow us to instruct stem cells to become 3D cellular structures resembling…

Common lecture recording techniques include voiceover and picture-in-picture. These approaches separate the lecturer from the content. The live composite video lecture technique avoids that by layering slide content directly over the video in real-time. This allows the lecturer to monitor slide content and interact with it as if it were…
