Tianqi Huang is addressing the unsustainable and energy-intensive methods of pond and lake water treatment by proposing the use of a PEM Ozone water generator in ecological restoration. This solution, demonstrated in projects in China, offers advantages in cost, energy consumption, and long-term sustainability compared to traditional methods like MBR…

The artwork combines mixed reality, 3D printing, sound, photography and film, to lead the audience through the journey of organotypic artificial skin cells, during their short, precious, three weeks long ‘in-vitro’ life. The piece follows the cells from operating theatre, where they are taken from donors via tummy tucks, breast…

The nominating institution Nanyang Technological University on the breakthrough: Significant progress has been made in developing bioinspired sensors and actuators based on synthetic materials, although there remains a critical need to incorporate cost-effective and ecofriendly materials. Naturally abundant pollen grains were used as a material template to produce a paper-like…

In this Falling Walls Breakthrough Conversation, digital participants had the chance to engage in a live conversation with Ting Xu. She talked about her role as Professor of Chemistry and Materials Science and Engineering at Berkeley University, her groundbreaking work on accelerating biodegradation of plastics and her hopes for the…

Agnieszka Zuchowska is developing a novel in vitro tool that will largely reproduce the features of the in vivo environment, and thus increase the reliability of the results obtained in preclinical studies.
