SOFA proposes a more efficient system to distribute research funding than the present grant proposal review process. All researchers periodically receive an equal and unconditional base amount of funding, but they have to donate a fraction of everything they receive to other researchers of their choice. As such, funding circulates…

Aerogels are a class of solid materials with outstanding properties, a consequence of their open porous 3D nanostructure. They demonstrate promising results for pollution filtering and lightweight vehicle insulation, as well as for advanced battery systems in sustainable mobility. With the support of simulation and digitization for reverse engineering, the…

Background and Aim In Japan, it has been noted that interest in science declines as the school year progresses. According to the 2019 TIMSS results, the percentage of elementary and middle school students who say “studying science is fun” declined as they reached middle school, falling below the international average…
