To measure the magnetic moment of the muon to unprecedented precision in the search for new fundamental particles and forces that may contribute to the muon’s internal magnetism. By producing copious numbers of subatomic muon particles in a powerful accelerator, a precise measurement of the muon spin precession and the…

Roberto Osellame graduated at Politecnico di Milano (Italy) and received the Ph.D. degree in Physics from the Politecnico di Torino (Italy). He is a Research Director at the Institute for Photonics and Nanotechnologies (IFN) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR). He is also an Adjunct Professor at the Politecnico…

A yeast that naturally produces provitamin A will be genetically engineered to grow using cellulose-based agricultural byproducts. The cultivation process will then be optimized for VAD communities.   Tags: Bio-Tech, Circular Economy, Engineering, Food & Agriculture, Global Cooperation, Green Tech, Resilience, Trust in science.

Tigran Ambartsumov is developing technology for intensifying the process of germinating seeds of agricultural crops, increasing the yield of crops and minimizing yield loss during drought years.

Launched during the summer 2019 as a NGO based in Paris, Just One Giant Lab (JOGL.io) is the first research and innovation laboratory operating as a distributed, open and massive mobilisation online platform for collaborative task solving. At JOGL, we believe in the power of open-source community-led approaches to address…

José Manuel Rojas Díaz is working on addressing the high mortality rate of cervical cancer in Mexican women by developing a novel technology called BiKE (bispecific killer cell engager). This technology is designed to target a specific tumour marker, recruiting and stimulating immune cells (NK cells) to enhance the antitumour…

A recent study shows that hearing is the last sense to go when we die. What is the last sound you wish to hear at the end of your life? Yoko Sen is an ambient electronic musician who spent time in hospitals as a patient, horrified by their noise –…

Diamond on the Soles of their Feet is an inclusive citizen science project focusing on groundwater monitoring in Hout Cachment in the Limpopo province. Through graphic facilitation, storyboards and participatory methods such as network mapping and the “river of life”, the project involves actors at various levels – from local…

This is a podcast where I get to talk with various people (Africans) in the STEM field. They talk passionately about the research and projects and how it is contributing to society. Also, I allow them to provide me with a back story of who they are and why they…

The nominating institution Japan Science and Technology Agency on the breakthrough: Quantum information technologies are expected to bring scientific and social benefits that will change the world. Prof. Oiwa in Osaka University is conducting a JST project to develop a Poincaré interface using quantum dots as hardware for realizing long…
