In the current age of life sciences, we have come to invent better and better drugs that are increasingly efficient in relieving pain and treating diseases. Despite this positive trend, the world continuously faces serious medicine shortages and in many parts of the world drugs and painkillers may either be…

Mental Health: Do we Need a New Super Science? 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. While stigma around mental health may…

Introducing learners from disadvantaged areas to coding concepts without computers In South Africa (as in many other countries) there is a desperate shortage of Software Developers. 16000 of our 25000 schools do not have computer labs. Consequently millions of learners from mainly disadvantage communities are mainly unaware of the lucrative…

Msawenkosi Mkhize is addressing the growing concern of water scarcity exacerbated by factors like climate change and population growth. His solution involves the use of IoT technology to automate the recycling of greywater, reducing costs, waste, and potential toxic exposure while allowing remote monitoring and control of the process.

A key challenge on the road towards a functional quantum computer is to integrate the individually demonstrated components into a functional and scalable device. I have pioneered the realization of fully chip-integrated quantum gates with trapped ions and have recently demonstrated a high-fidelity self-contained computation register that is both resource-efficient…

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…

What if we agree on ADDITIONAL search Reference Schemas to Index what we know and where, and how it connects? Across Scales and Scopes, Cultures, Languages, Sign-Systems? And embody and index thematic fields and issues. Proposed a Metaparadigm and a Conceptual Superstructure (9D) for enhancing conventional search methods and detecting…

Stannie Rameliarison and her team teach fruit and vegetable producers how to dry their crops in order to store them longer and provide them with solar dryers and a market where they can sell the dried products.

Fabio Blaschke is tackling the challenge of transporting green hydrogen over long distances by developing an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution using the steam iron process for the reduction and oxidation of iron. The project involves creating iron-based materials that can be reused hundreds of times, providing a stable and…
