Biotech Innovation in Europe and Germany Falling Walls Circle Tables are lending the spotlight to world-leading scientists, science strategists and policy-makers from academia, business and politics discuss how we can apply science, research and innovation to get the world moving again. How could Europe create a global ‘hotspot’ of biotech…

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…

Con-Cierto Sentido is a way of science dissemination with a focus on gender and inclusion that through music and art stimulates the senses, taking the viewer to something more like a rock/pop concert than a talk. Although, its focus is outreach, it seeks to make women in science visible, therefore,…

Starting in Ghana, Bright Tetteh Kwao’s project aims to save rice and sorghum yield in West Africa, which will put more money into farmers pockets and bring more food to the market for consumers.

In cooperation with the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation, Falling Walls was hosting this unique format to connect researchers in the physical sciences from all over the world. The symposium gathered the 2021 Winners in the Physical Sciences category as well as partners from academia and business to discuss the…

In this Falling Walls Breakthrough Conversation with Philippe Tanguy, digital participants had the chance to discuss and ask questions. The interview series provided an intense personal atmosphere, in which high-level guests, speakers and panelists of the Falling Walls Science Summit 2021 focused on their individual research, career paths and experiences.…

As one of the top researchers in ultrashort-pulsed lasers for industrial applications, Prof. Dr. Andreas Tünnermann also focuses on the practical application of his scientific work in everyday life. By initiating and coordinating the research initiative QuNET, he pushes the boundaries of the emerging field of quantum communication towards a…

How a Bacterial Defence System Revolutionizes Biomedical Research Many past scientific revolutions started with basic research, curiosity and a surprise moment. When Emmanuelle Charpentier and her co-workers were busy studying the defence system used by bacteria to shake off attacking viruses, they knew that this discovery was relevant way beyond…

To use a system that can be very well controlled in the lab (cold atoms) to emulate the dynamics of another system (molecules) which are difficult to predict. Despite of being at the basis of our lives, most problems dealing with molecules are hard to solve even with supercomputers. In…

Agriculture accounts for roughly 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The d4agrotech research and innovation initiative launched by the province of Lower Austria and the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology aims to make food production more climate-friendly and efficient through digitalisation. In this Falling Walls Round Table, experts…
