How Ultracold Atomic Physics is Creating Fundamentally New Materials Physics has a long track record of discovering and studying new forms of matter. Apart from the four states of matter traditionally taught in Physics class – solid, liquid, gas and plasma – there is a whole range of other, more exotic states…

The project organizes rapid, evidence-based guidance for policymakers combating the pandemic. It engages a large network of social and behavioral experts and skilled, science communicators. Actionable reports have been issued on evaluating disease data, encouraging mask wearing and distancing, and applying survey-research lessons to contact-tracing. Report utilization, report downloads, webinar…

Hong Kong has faced many challenges since its return to Chinese rule in 1997. Intensified neoliberalism has worsened the city’s socio-economic and spatial inequities and integration with China has brought political changes. Working with other professionals, NGOs, district councillors and place champions, this project encourages community members to collaborate in…

In cooperation with Stiftung Charité and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Falling Walls was hosting this unique format to connect researchers in the life sciences from all over the world. The symposium gathered the 2021 Winners in the Life Sciences category as well as partners from academia and business to discuss…

Our project’s achievements strongly suggest that LDH has a high potential for treating mine wastewater since its application may contribute significantly to reduce energy, cost and save landfills.   Tags: Environment & Nature, Green Tech, Environment science, Water treatment, Chemistry.
