As one of the top researchers in ultrashort-pulsed lasers for industrial applications, Prof. Dr. Andreas Tünnermann also focuses on the practical application of his scientific work in everyday life. By initiating and coordinating the research initiative QuNET, he pushes the boundaries of the emerging field of quantum communication towards a…

In a new normal after the pandemic as well as in the era of AI and trillion sensors, data traffic and related energy consumption will grow exponentially. Thus, for global sustainable development, a revolution in materials science is needed to lay the foundations for information technology that operates at a…

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…

Common lecture recording techniques include voiceover and picture-in-picture. These approaches separate the lecturer from the content. The live composite video lecture technique avoids that by layering slide content directly over the video in real-time. This allows the lecturer to monitor slide content and interact with it as if it were…

New functional magnetic materials are in high demand, both for nano-technology, information storage and for green energy conversion in wind-mills and wave power generators. The recent increase in the cost of rare-earth elements, a key component in permanent magnets, call for new rare-earth free compounds. By means of data-filtering methods…

MYRIAD engaged young people, schools and families with the shrouded mystery of the teenage mind. Using a hybrid of approaches from inspiration to collaboration right through to a digital campaign, people got to step inside and explore an inflatable brain, to design research and ask the questions that are most…

DROBEE offers a service of date palm pollination using autonomous drones that can automatically pollinate palms 100 times faster than the manual method in a secure way, reducing the cost by up to 50% and saving pollen usage.

While digital media offer the opportunity for people of all walks of life to gain access to essential information, digital literacy is a necessary component of achieving an informed citizenry. From public health info to active political engagement, knowing how to find and interpret reliable information online is essential. While…

The MetaGait rehabilitation device, with its innovative combination of hardware (walk stimulation device) and software (virtual reality games), makes rehabilitation less stressful and more effective.

Science Communication in Crisis – Could we do better? 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. While the world has been battling…
