Common lecture recording techniques include voiceover and picture-in-picture. These approaches separate the lecturer from the content. The live composite video lecture technique avoids that by layering slide content directly over the video in real-time. This allows the lecturer to monitor slide content and interact with it as if it were…

In cooperation with Stiftung Charité and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Falling Walls was hosting this unique format to connect researchers in the life sciences from all over the world. The symposium gathered the 2021 Winners in the Life Sciences category as well as partners from academia and business to discuss…

Artist Geraldine Cox works with physicists to find resonant new expression for the beautiful things we have discovered and inspires others to do the same: children construct mobiles celebrating atoms, dancers absorb and emit light, grown-ups cut intricate paper photons for a giant collage of sunlight, and in mesmerising paintings…

Dr. Ijjas’ new cyclic theory shows that the observed properties of the universe are best explained by replacing the “big bang” with a “big bounce” – a smooth transition from contraction to expansion. Combining diverse tools from mathematical and numerical relativity, astronomy, and high energy physics, she further showed that,…

While we know from astrophysical observations that dark matter exists, its nature remains a mystery and its detection in the laboratory would be a major breakthrough. While the discovery of dark matter is still outstanding, in 2019 the experiment observed the decay of Xenon-124 atoms for the first time, with…

In my project, we work on the possibility of encoding information in OAM modes and multiplex these modes in optical fiber for transmission. Tags: Science Communication.

The VR app makes you see what normally is invisible: Various encounters and situations of employees coming from migration or prejudiced backgrounds experience every day. The VR user encounters these people face-to-face, allowing for an immediate experience of their stories. The project is a result of an interdisciplinary team: Esther…

In radiology, how can we reduce the entrance surface dose while keeping the obtained image acceptability for routine radiographic examinations to improve diagnosis quality? Hamza Sekkat uses a phantom and solid-state detector/multisensor to optimize the radiation dose and image quality by selecting image parameters that give an acceptable one with…

Rhys Pirie won first place at the Falling Walls Lab Finale 2019 with his pitch on Breaking the Wall of Broken Glass. Rhys convinced the jury in three minutes by presenting a low-cost process which turns ‘waste’ glass into high-value products such as detergents, tyres, and even toothpaste.
