MDC has excellent structural stability and high catalyst activity.Comparing to conventional ozonation process, MDC/HCO process was 30% more effective for organic removal and 50% less energy intensive.   Tags: Engineering, Environment & Nature, Advanced water and wastewater treatment.

MYRIAD engaged young people, schools and families with the shrouded mystery of the teenage mind. Using a hybrid of approaches from inspiration to collaboration right through to a digital campaign, people got to step inside and explore an inflatable brain, to design research and ask the questions that are most…

Shabib Alrashdi is addressing the profitability challenge of biochar production, a charred biomass known for improving sandy soil fertility and acting as a carbon sink. His proposed solution involves identifying the labile carbon fraction and degree of aromaticity in different types of biochar, aiming to determine the quantity and kinetics…

The nominating institution UCSD on the breakthrough: Neurons are progressively dysfunctional in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, for which symptoms may take years to appear. Xiang-Dong Fu has discovered a new strategy to convert astrocytes into functional neurons, and rebuild lost neural circuits. This may lead to disease reversal.…

haMSter offers patients an opportunity to report underrepresented symptoms in MS that would normally go unaddressed. It is a convenient tool to use for quality of life research.   Tags: Digital Health, Digitalisation, Med-Tech, Mobile Health, Science Communication.

It is a breakthrough for mathematics to have its own International Day (IDM) every year on March 14, proclaimed by UNESCO. It follows an open, participative approach to connect all through a central portal, an interactive event map, activities, calls, videos, etc. The first IDM “Mathematics is Everywhere” was held…

According to Fabiyan Angikath, current methods of hydrogen production involve CO2 emissions and/or are expensive. He, therefore, suggests introducing molten metal reactor technology to produce sustainable H2 production.

AgroDynLux aims to manufacture and commercialize new chemical herbicides that combine synthetic and organic solution benefits and help farmers to safely control weeds and maintain their crop yield.

Fusion is a nuclear reaction that combines two light nuclei, producing energy; fusion reactions power stars like our sun. Producing energy from fusion would provide a carbon-free, clean, safe, and abundant source of electricity. Net energy production from fusion requires that the reactions occur in a ‘plasma’ hotter than the…

Two states of matter “solid” and “fluid”, which are mutually exclusive in the classical world, can exist simultaneously in the quantum world. The supersolid was created by dysprosium atoms that behave like tiny magnets and that were cooled down to near absolute zero (-273° Celsius). To generate a supersolid, the…
