Science in dance’ is a 60′ long format designed to promote science-people interaction through dance. The audience is introduced by a storyteller to the science underlying the dance. The choreographer starts the casting randomly picking-up performers from the public; then she/he teaches them easy-to-learn movements and set up basic scenography…

The nominating institution University of Zurich on the breakthrough: Neuromorphic and quantum computers will revolutionize the way we perform calculations. Both concepts require new hardware foundations, creating a demand for quantum materials with exotic properties. In particular, systems with topological effects — described using tools from the name-bearing field of…

Science is a Drag is a Science Engagement initiative by and for the LGBTQ2SIA+ community. Taking an intersectional approach, it challenges the cis, white and heteronormative structures in STEM to create a community where people can share and engage with science in a manner that is authentic and welcoming.

How Insect Science Contributes to Understanding Human Immunity Let us be honest – when reading the words “insect research”, we rather think about killing insects than about learning from them. Luxembourg born immunologist Jules A. Hoffmann has based his multi-awarded career, crowned by the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or…

Pratik Kumar’s research paves a new way for designing and synthesizing scalable & reconfigurable analogue accelerators that are orders of magnitude more energy and area-efficient than conventional digital accelerators.

We have selected suitable material for primary school students and we have conducted a small campaign to engage students. Students during the isolation period, in-home conditions (with the help of adults) perform experiments, challenges, and the same are presented on social networks. This relieves them of the stress of closure,…

We use creativity to foster global progress. We gather resources from various fields, to address complex issues and find innovative solutions. We use curiosity to attract people into spaces, topics, issues, and challenge their point of view in regards to social problems and perception of reality, without forcing our own…

Francesca Santoro is trying to find out how electronic microchip-based devices are coupled to biological tissues. She and her team developed a biohybrid synapse through the coupling of an artificial neuron and biological neuronal cells that spontaneously release the neurotransmitter dopamine.
