We developed a new charging method that can counter Solid Electrolyte Interface growing, therefore faster charging and lower temperature rise, also can revive the cells. My research is on EVs battery cells.   Tags: Energy, Engineering, Mobility & Transportation.

MICRO is a distributed network of six-foot-tall science museums designed to meet curious people where they are – in hospital waiting rooms, libraries, bus terminals, laundromats, and other public spaces. MICRO’s goal is to challenge long-held public assumptions about who museums are for and, by removing barriers to access, to…

The engagement project was conducted in Kilifi County along the coast of Kenya. The study involved 19 SCD patients and 15 parents. We conducted 4 focus group discussions and 7 home visits where in-depth interviews were conducted. From the activities emerging themes were then evaluated and this was used by…

Carlos Abad is addressing the challenge faced by people with reduced mobility by developing a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology that utilises bioelectrical signals from the brain to control electromechanical actuator elements. The project successfully implemented BCI sensors to control a wheelchair, with predetermined thoughts and a mobile application assisting in…

To measure the magnetic moment of the muon to unprecedented precision in the search for new fundamental particles and forces that may contribute to the muon’s internal magnetism. By producing copious numbers of subatomic muon particles in a powerful accelerator, a precise measurement of the muon spin precession and the…

How Planetary Boundaries Envision A Safe Operating Space for Humanity The Anthropocene is a term often used to describe the geological epoch we live in – an age where humans more than any other factor in nature shape the face of the planet. For centuries, humanity has effected change on its…

In this Falling Walls Breakthrough Conversation, digital participants had the chance to engage in a live conversation with Jane Achan who is part of the Falling Walls Female Science Talents Program. She talked about her role as a Senior Research Advisor at the United Kingdom-based non-governmental organization Malaria Consortium and…

Our device comprises a strip and reader. A couple of blood drops (obtained from a heel prick) are applied to the strip, which is inserted into the reader. The biomarker levels are measured in 10 min. Tags: Bio-Tech, Engineering, Med-Tech.

As a result of the strong economic growth in many African countries, the continent has a growing demand for young professionals, particularly in mathematics, IT and engineering, in order to ensure rapid and stable economic, social and political development. Yet, only six per cent of post-secondary aged Africans are enrolled…

Growing plants in arid lands entail an extreme evaporative loss of water & poor sandy soils. SandX mulch curtails this water loss, and CarboSoil improves soil fertility and sequesters carbon.
