Ten years ago, Professor Arno Rauschenbeutel was the first to couple laser-trapped atoms with light in glass fibers that are 100 times thinner than a human hair. This achievement was a door opener for the field on quantum nanophotonics. There, one studies the interaction of atoms, molecules, or artificial atoms…

As smarter, faster, and cheaper industrial robots are at the verge of revolutionising manufacturing worldwide, it seems we are ready to entrust them with more diverse tasks, ranging from collaboratively assembling products with people to providing front-of-house customer service. Already today, hospitals, hotels, and logistics companies use robots to provide…

Volkan Sezgin addresses the ways in which to shape old fashioned, non-digital trade diplomacy, suggesting that trade diplomacy should be based on digital trade fairs and conferences and that trade agreements, which lie in the heart of trade diplomacy, should focus on getting digital aspects into action.

The nominating institution KIT on the breakthrough: Electronic signal processing suffers from limited bandwidth. This wall can be teared down by combining electronics with photonic circuits and with optical frequency combs as ultra-precise clocks. This approach unlocks a wealth of applications – from ultra-fast data communications to material analysis via…

Planckton is a scientific written and video blog. The goal is to simplify, popularize and explain various scientific topics that are hard to understand for your average person. We focus on more complex topics and new advances in science which are hardly covered by any popular media.   Tags: Citizen…

Distance Learning: How low-tech solutions help to make education accessible for everyone Education is key for economic advancement as well as social stability. However, providing quality education is especially challenging in countries that lack infrastructure, learning materials and trained teachers. UNESCO estimates that 617 million school-age children around the world…

Considering a huge gap in basic science education for visually impaired we have developed innovative ways to make science learning fun and interesting for them. We have modified each and every science experiments and concepts to make them accessible for visually impaired. We are in the process of establishing fully…
