Teeratat Bunsantrakul is addressing the safety and size issues of hydrogen storage systems by introducing carbon nanotubes into metal hydride structures. This nano composite material aims to improve the thermal properties, enhancing the speed of charging and reducing energy consumption during the hydrogen release process, making hydrogen fuel more widely…

BioFun is creating the first device that breaks down recalcitrant pollution with enzymes of unique fungi, stopping these harmful compounds from making their way into the environment.

Instagram is one of the most used social media platforms where people post the positive side of life and breathtaking photos, this makes it perfect for science! Mitocondria.cc is all about sharing the amazing facts of the universe and the way science is part of our everyday life. Our non-scientific…

CONTAGION is Science Gallery Bengaluru’s first online exhibition-season, that invites visitors to explore the phenomenon of transmission of diseases, behaviours and emotions to make sense of our uncertain times. Through 16 interactive exhibits and more than 40 live programmes we invite our audience to engage with critical questions on contagious…

How Responsive Nanomaterials Take Medicine to the Next Level Self-destruction mechanisms are not only a frequent feature of action movies, they are also the next big thing in nanomedicine. Think of tiny capsules that overcome complex barriers of the body and eventually dissolve, releasing substances to specific places – and…

Gendered Research for Sustainable Innovation in Academia Director of the Elsevier Foundation Ylann Schemm joins Ruth Morgan in outlining the goals and vision of the Elsevier Foundation. Both agree on the benefits of a tenacious mindset in bringing about change. Particularly when championing gender equality and diversity in research and…

C-DELTA is a breakthrough in creating a platform for large scale training on digital education for students and teachers around the world for free. It is about how to make digital learning more efficient for individuals and the society by recognising digital identity and footprints online, creating and sharing digital…

We have developed a novel therapeutic for SARS-CoV-2 that relies on nanobodies – antibody fragments from alpacas and llamas. Combining protein engineering, structural biology, and virology, we found that multi-component molecules binding the virus on two surfaces lead to robust neutralization of wildtype virus and newly emerging variants. Unlike most…

Tamlyn Sasha Naidu suggests using waste products from the refining and agricultural sectors to treat mining wastewater, resulting in a nutrient-rich sludge which can be used for hydroponic farming.

Finding out how digital technology affects is difficult, because it requires accessing, processing, and analyzing complex data that often belong to big tech platform and raise privacy concerns. Traditional social science research models fall short because they rely on individual scholars to come up with ad hoc solutions. Instead, the…
