By combining the achievements of the arts, history and technology, Prof. Miyasako, who leads the ‘Research on cultural sharing’ group in the TUA-COI project, is creating “Clone Cultural Properties” and “Super Clone Cultural Properties” which reproduce the DNA of arts. The research group is increasing countries’ cultural value by promoting…

Miniaturizing engines and machines to sizes less than a few millimetres remains an unmet challenge because of the complexity of their design and their fundamental physics that does not favor down-sizing. Materials that respond like muscles by changing their shape or size on demand offer an alternative way to power…

The nominating institution Fraunhofer ISE on the breakthrough: Standard solar cells can only convert light of a limited wavelength range optimally while other regions of the sun’s spectrum are not or poorly used. This is mainly influenced by the electronic bandgap of the absorber material. Therefore, the conversion efficiency of…

Monika Janíková is exploring erythroprogenitor-to-erythrocyte maturation in cell cultures, focusing on materials released in enucleation. This can proceed via methods well-established in neutrophil ET research.

Cell Block Science (CBS) brings informal science learning to the learning centres of 6 Scottish prisons, and provides a platform for researchers to develop confidence and skills in engagement. Researchers, in collaboration with a project officer, develop and deliver individual sessions, and engagement between sessions is sustained through popular science…
