How Macroeconomics Shape the Financial Architecture of Tomorrow Sometimes, the reason for a paradigm shift can seem completely obvious after it has been discovered. One wonders how the prior held notion could have been resilient to change for so long. A field that does not lack bold assertions followed by…

Working at the intersection of technology, art and design, Jiabao Li creates new ways for humans to perceive the world. “TransVision” questions the habitual ways in which we interpret the visual world intervened by digital media through three perceptual machines. In “Glacier’s Lament”, she collaborated with glaciologists to turn esoteric…

Shameea Sultana is addressing the global plastic waste crisis by developing a dual-purpose bioplastic solution that not only reduces plastic footprints but also effectively manages solid tannery waste. Her innovative approach, involving renewable materials and green nanoparticle synthesis, results in a unique bioplastic with antibacterial benefits, offering a sustainable and…

A scalable protein-protein interaction screen helps unraveling the pathogenesis for disease mutations e.g. GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, thereby providing a possible mechanism for a range of other cases.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent cancers globally. A large proportion of people have modifiable risk factors, such as weight and diet. Coffee is the main source of chlorogenic acid, the most abundant polyphenol in natural products. Hernán Villota argues that these polyphenolic compounds could have a preventive…

Mars Buttfield-Addison proposes modifying the ‘brains’ of telescopes to allow them to triangulate objects in the near field, thereby mitigating the risks that orbital debris puts on critical space-based infrastructure.

Quantum Computing arguably presents the biggest shift in computer science since its inception. After 25 years of fundamental theoretical and experimental research, the top leaders in the field worldwide have committed themselves to the development of quantum computers as a real technology, solving real computational problems. The panelists of this…

Evidence gathered by lay people through forms of citizen science are becoming more and more accurate, reliable and credible as the ‘civic sentinels’ performing environmental monitoring follow scientific protocols, seek advice from experts and confront their results with official measurements. This is a truly constructive form of ordinary people’s engagement…

By capitalizing on low-cost local wool produced by herders, Oyungerel Munkhbat is able to produce affordable air purification filters as efficient as the HEPA filter, preventing air pollution-related diseases.

SprinD is a front-runner organization in Europe with a completely new approach to breakthrough innovation. I does not rely on peer-review-based identification and selcetion processes. Rather it aims at recruiting forward-looking innovation managers to select research and innovation projects which are both research-intensive and application-oriented. Rafael Laguna will be able…
