I study the development of scientific knowledge–particularly in the earth and environmental sciences–as well as the political, social, and cultural obstacles to the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge. I am interested in both how knowledge is produced and how ignorance is sustained. It’s a “core idea” because it we…

The nominating institution EPFL on the breakthrough: eM+ works on tangible & intangible heritage and archival materials from Asia, Australasia and Europe using computer science and human-computer interaction techniques to alter cultural data into advanced ultra-high-resolution visualizations. It brings novel digital imaging technology into museums in association with cultural and…

The new special diet that comes suitable for every individual particularly, we found improvement in all factors we mentioned in the problem, decrease in tumor’s size by 21.8% than using chemo alone. Tags: Mobile Health, New Work.

Clarice investigates the extent to which quantum effects influence biology. The hypothesis that quantum effects might provide an essential benefit to life is astonishing. “Living quantum sensors” appear to surpass tech devices, even if embedded in a noisy, hot and wet bio environment. Established quantum techniques can be used to…

By exploring the nano-world in real-time with X-rays of PETRA III, a team of KTH (Stockholm) and DESY produced an ultra-strong material that is made of bio-degradable cellulose nanofibres, the essential building blocks of wood. The novel production method transfers the exceptional properties of these nanofibres to the macroscopic, lightweight…

Walls are back in vogue around the world, from Mexico to Hungary, Austria, and Greece. This is a paradox of history as physical and conceptual walls are being torn down unceasingly, driven by technology, business, and people’s quest for a better future. Political elites and large parts of the electorate…

SPRIND Sciencepreneurship Symposium – Falling Walls Circle 2023 Scientific breakthroughs can solve our biggest challenges – from infectious diseases and cancer to cyber security, shortages of natural resources, and rapid climate change. To transform new knowledge into deeply impactful results, Science needs to engage with change makers. We need great…

The nominating institution Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH on the breakthrough: Playing LEGO with molecules promises to be an appealing approach to facile fabrication of unusual nanostructures. Attractive quantum functionalities have been shown, but there is a problem: Molecules defy intuitive handling, their behaviour is hard to predict. To address this challenge,…

Fresh drinking water is an important issue in this decade. The role of water monitoring is a function provided by water utility providers such as the Davao City Water District (DCWD). On a national scale, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Environment Management Bureau (DENR-EMB) is mandated with monitoring…

Ambrish Kumar is tackling the high cost of green hydrogen, currently at $5/kg, by introducing advanced nanotech electrolyzers with top-tier electrical efficiency. These compact electrolyzers significantly reduce operational costs and plant footprint, promoting the adoption of green hydrogen and aligning with UN SDGs and net-zero goals.
