Prof. Marc Gruber is a leading researcher, focused on bringing new technology to market. He significantly advanced the practice of innovation with the Market Opportunity Navigator (co-developed with his PhD student Sharon Tal) – which helps in the highly critical phase of identifying the best markets for new technology. Launched…

“Critically Extant” is a project that explores just how little we know about the natural world by testing the limits of the data openly available to us. To achieve this, AI algorithms were trained on millions of open source images of nature and some ten thousand species. The resulting models…

Molecular gases, that are brought to a near standstill with kinetic energies only a few 100 nK above absolute temperature zero, open up far-reaching possibilities for quantum science, ranging from quantum simulation and quantum information to quantum-controlled chemistry and fundamental physics. However, even the simplest molecules, diatomic molecules, have until…

Romanian Science Festival (RSF) is an initiative that aims to popularise STEM subjects among young people in Romania. We use sciences to set off their lifelong inquisitiveness and thrust for knowledge. That is why our motto is ‘Don’t get bored! Always be curious!’ We reach our goal firstly by providing…
