Computer-Generated Decision Making: How new drug candidates can be identified faster through automated molecular design The discovery of new drugs and their development as medicines is a long, arduous, costly, and to some extent serendipitous process. Up to 90% of drug candidates fail during clinical development because they lack efficacy…

“Tianjic” is the the world’s first brain-inspired hybrid computing chip that bridges computer-science-oriented and neuroscience-oriented approaches. It not only accommodates computer-science-oriented machine learning algorithms and neuroscience-oriented models, but also supports cross computing paradigm modelling. With one chip, a bicycle performs real-time object detection, tracking, voice recognition, obstacle avoidance, auto balance…

By utilizing nanoscale light sources as artificial photonic neurons, Matěj Hejda and his team aim to develop a novel, light-powered, high speed hardware with a brain-inspired architecture for energy-efficient AI computation.

In this Falling Walls Breakthrough Conversation, digital participants had the chance to engage in a live conversation with Brooke Smith, jury member of the science engagement category at Falling Walls Science Summit 2022. She talked about her role as Director of Public Engagement with Science at Kavli Foundation, her passion…

During COVID-19, artists in Ireland had their pipeline of work instantly dry up. We launched a round of experimental virtual residencies available for makers, creators, writers, artists and designers to collaborate with scientists over five weeks. For this virtual residency, each ‘resident’ got €1000 and was paired with two advisors.…

Breakthroughs in Water Research 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. Water is essential to life on Earth, but safe water is…

Ayushi Chauhan aims to create a new generation of portable devices for the rapid detection of point mutations responsible for DR-TB. The assay is accessible, scalable, and suitable for high burden TB countries.

How the Neuroscience of Sound, Language and Music Shapes Human Communication Communication through sound is an everyday miracle. Spoken language reaches the listener’s ear as soundwaves that our auditory system transforms into brainwaves. But merely decoding sound from the environment is insufficient to guarantee that its meaning will be understood.…
