Luciano Rezzolla is the Chair of Theoretical Astrophysics at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Frankfurt, Germany. His main research topics are astrophysical compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars, which he investigates by means of numerical simulations on supercomputers. Black holes are the most compact objects in…

Period poverty and period stigma impact the life of entire communities. The health of women and the environment are compromised as current solutions foment bacteria growth and are not compostable. Rebecca Cenzato proposes selling affordable and compostable sanitary pads made out of banana fibre and produced in rural mini-factories, while…

Nikhil Kunati suggests converting CO2 from industrial flue gasses to graphene for application in concrete. This results in effective CO2 storage and increasing the strength of concrete, while reducing costs and material consumption.

FOREST is the performative outcome of a National Science Foundation funded project aimed at enhancing trust between humans and robots through sound and gesture. As part of the project, Gil Weinberg and his team trained a deep learning network to generate emotion carrying sounds to accompany robotic gestures during human-robot…

We compared the characteristics of complicated and uncomplicated pediatric liver transplant recipients. We found a parameter in the early postoperative period that could predict complications.   Tags: Med-Tech, Health Sciences.

Bakkers and Fadaly have made a revolutionary breakthrough by creating a silicon-based material that proved to be capable of emitting light efficiently and can thus be used for laser devices and high-speed communication. At Falling Walls, they were focussing on how changing the molecular structure of silicon allows data to…

In the 1930s, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a “New Deal” policy to overcome the Great Depression. Less than 100 years later, the world is facing an even more global challenge: the climate crisis. In this Falling Walls Plenary Table, our international panelists ask whether this requires an equally…

EAFIT Children’s University is an informal education and Science Engagement program that was designed to bring academia and research closer to other audiences and to encourage curiosity, create active learning experiences, promote intellectual enjoyment, and foster critical thinking in children. The program proposes to deal with scientific concepts in an…

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…
