Shaping Future Cities 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. In this Falling Walls Circle Table, the panel asked how we can…

Johannes Stangl computes the systemic relevance of each company in production networks and compares this index with its emissions. High emissions and low systemic relevance indicate decarbonization leverage points.

SUN-to-LIQUID uses a solar thermochemical cycle to convert sunlight, water and CO2 into renewable kerosene. The key components of the process are a highly concentrating solar field, a receiver-reactor and a gas to liquid unit. By direct conversion of thermal energy into chemical energy the process has a high theoretical…

Natasha Theriault is developing a bacteriophage-based vaccine platform which can be rapidly adapted against newly-emerging pathogens and safely distributed in locations regardless of cold-supply chain infrastructure.

Medical Adhesive Revolution has developed a new technology which can seal internal and external wounds. We have developed the only known product capable of both functioning as a hemostat and as a sealant inside the body. To be used by surgeons, it seals wounds and stops bleeding within seconds. As…

Prof. Ting Xu received Ph.D in Polymer Science and Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2004 and postdoc training at the University of Pennsylvania and NIST. She jointed University of California, Berkeley in 2007 in the Department of Material Sciences and Engineering and Department of Chemistry. Her research…

Background and Aim In Japan, it has been noted that interest in science declines as the school year progresses. According to the 2019 TIMSS results, the percentage of elementary and middle school students who say “studying science is fun” declined as they reached middle school, falling below the international average…

Maureen Gumbo proposes utilising porous materials which can absorb water vapour and condense it into usable clean water to combat the shortage of clean water.

A new class of adaptive and biomimetic neuronal platforms has been developed for the first time by direct coupling of biological neuronal cells with a neuromorphic chip. Despite standard neuroelectronic interfaces, the biohybrid synapse formed between the living and artificial neuronal systems is capable of interacting, keeping active memory of…
