Yue Yuan is tackling the limitations in advanced electronic circuits using 2D materials by introducing a groundbreaking fabrication technique. By transferring multilayer hexagonal boron nitride onto silicon microchips, Yue Yuan achieves high-integration-density 2D-CMOS hybrid microchips for memristive applications, representing a notable advance in performance and technology readiness.

Professor Berk leads a multidisciplinary institute developing innovative psychiatric medications and therapies. Recognising biochemical evidence for reduced oxidative defenses in psychiatric disorders, Berk and others predicted treatment potential for oxidative modulators. His team led the first RCTs demonstrating that N-acetyl cysteine, an inexpensive, safe antioxidant supplement, improved depression and negative…

Protein Analytics: To understand how a biological system works, monitor the structures of the thousands of proteins within it. My laboratory has developed a technology that generates a new type of molecular data with which we can look at the structures (or shapes) of the proteins in living systems. We…

Superbugs are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics and threaten to cause 10 M deaths per year worldwide by 2050. Without a commitment to finding new antibiotic leads now, we will head back into the pre-penicillin era, where a scrape could cost you your life if it became infected. Soils for…

Jamil Muradov is addressing the significant issue of concussions affecting over 42 million individuals annually, leading to long-term complications in some cases. His proposed solution involves using the clinically approved drug Memantine to inhibit abnormal brain activity triggered by concussions, showing promise in pre-clinical trials for potential use in human…

Democracy is at risk. All around the world, democratic states, governments and democratic values that lie at the core of a peaceful and equal society are being weakened and eroded, thus paving the way for anti-democratic sentiments and systems. A historian and anthropologist and Professor at the University of São…

How a Bacterial Defence System Revolutionizes Biomedical Research Many past scientific revolutions started with basic research, curiosity and a surprise moment. When Emmanuelle Charpentier and her co-workers were busy studying the defence system used by bacteria to shake off attacking viruses, they knew that this discovery was relevant way beyond…
