How fast-charging batteries work and why they matter In order for the European Union to achieve its goal of zero net emissions by 2050, the speed at which devices can be charged needs to increase significantly. Clare Grey, Professor of Chemistry at Cambridge University, sees her work as an important…

Maliha Sharmin is addressing the challenge of developing a dengue vaccine that effectively targets all four antigenically distinct serotypes of the virus. Her proposed solution involves investigating the role of specific miRNAs in dengue virus replication and exploring the potential use of antisense oligonucleotides targeting these miRNAs as a promising…

CODE’s learning concept fundamentally changes the way we think about higher education. It empowers its students to learn everything they need in order to be successful in a world dominated by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, and technology. With its educational concept based on self-directed, project-based, and curiosity-driven learning, CODE enables…

Bettina Müller and her team are tackling fibrotic skin diseases by proposing the use of a non-invasive objective mechanical device that allows for a comparison between diseased tissue and a healthy counter measurement with immediate information about the degree of difference.

Alejandra L. Arredondo is addressing the issue of low blood neutrophil count, a common side effect of chemotherapy and one which predisposes patients to life-threatening infections. Producing neutrophils in the lab on demand will solve many current limitations of neutrophil transfusions.

Hip Pro+ consists of a combination of electronic hardware and sensors that analyse movements up to 1,000 times per second, helping reduce the risks posed by hip injuries.

The digital coach goes far beyond traditional reactive ‘FAQ-bot’ approaches by pro-actively engaging with students and starting conversations to ensure they settle into university life with the best support possible; making personalised recommendations for societies to join, asking how students are feeling and nudging students towards activities that can help…

Libor Šmejkal: Breaking the Wall to Quantum Magnets – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 Before the discovery of altermagnets, researchers studied ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Ferromagnets are commonly used but suffer energy loss due to resistance when electricity passes through them. Antiferromagnets, where magnetic moments cancel out, also experience energy losses…
