While most of the work in the laboratory is focusing on improving transplantation and modulating the immune system in medical settings, due to the unique tools developed in the lab, Benyamin Rosental and his team translate their research to ecological questions. The most unique project we perform in the laboratory…

Nurudeen Issa and his team are developing an innovative solar-wind hybrid for households and businesses that will offer renewable energy in an affordable way.

The company is pioneering in its sector by operating the only grid-connected wave energy array floaters in the world, which is operational under a Power Purchase Agreement in Gibraltar. Upon its expansion to 5MW, this project will supply up to 15% of the country’s electricity needs. The project generates clean…

Programming subjects has put tremendous mental pressure on the learners resulting in the emotional state of the learner being impacted. I have designed and developed a smart courseware known as explorelet to focus on learning object-oriented programming by emphasizing both the cognitive and affective domains. Explorelet provides a personalised and…

Capitalizing on smart thermobimetal’s natural tendency to curl as the temperature rises, DORIS SUNG’s refreshing aesthetic skillfully disguises its true purpose: to use no energy to save energy in buildings. With goals to self-shade, self-ventilate, self-assemble or self-propel, Sung’s projects defy standard categorization. With a keen understanding of computation, biology,…

How Quantum Physics Questions Our Perception of Reality Plato’s famous Parable of the Cave illustrates the idea that human beings will never be able to see the truth until they leave the cave in which they are held prisoners, forced to watch shadows on the dark walls, and seeing only…

Tammy Ma: Breaking the Wall to Limitless Energy – Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 Nuclear fission, while a potent source of energy, is not without its significant challenges. One of the primary issues lies in the radioactive waste generated during the process. Fission reactions produce long-lived radioactive isotopes that pose…

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.

Mobilising the power of innovation to address societal and environmental challenges. The Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC) was established in 2017 as a five-year global knowledge platform, coordinated by the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex, the Centre for Global Challenges at Utrecht University, and Ingenio in…

The nominating institution University of Helsinki on the breakthrough: Ovaskainen and Abrego have developed a Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities (HMSC) framework, which revolutionizes how data on ecological communities is analysed and interpreted. HMSC allows data integration on species abundances, environmental covariates, species traits, phylogenetic relationships, and the spatio-temporal context. …
