Conventional accelerators require multiple football fields in length to reach very high particle energies (multi-billion eV). Laser-powered, plasma-based accelerators, where electrons surf on waves, can do this in just a few 10’s of cm. This plasma technology is at the brink of offering a profoundly different way in which we…

Tinkering is known as methodology for its accessibily to science. With this project we reach out to the families of the community who live in the underpriviliged areas of Curaçao. With small and simple activities that can be executed with the garbage of the foodbank bags the family is challenged…

Challenges and Best Practices of Ageing Societies – Falling Walls Circle Round Table 2023 Population ageing is a global phenomenon that affects both developing and developed countries. From social isolation and loneliness to economic implications and pressure on healthcare systems, increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates lead to a…

Jasurbek Ibragimov is tackling eyestrain caused by prolonged phone and computer usage with an app designed to monitor eye health and blink frequency. The application not only tracks these metrics but also provides exercises to prevent eyestrain, offering a solution to alleviate the negative effects of digital device use on…

As well as employing established schemes like analysis of sex-disaggregated data, mentoring and trainings to stop the leaky pipeline, the project developed innovative strategies to challenge traditional structures and ways of thinking in marine sciences. Some examples are a new tool for the incorporation of gender perspectives into research content,…

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…

Uzair Masood installs wall-mounted vending machines that dispense menstrual hygiene products in female restrooms at public places and workplaces where women are involved, making menstrual hygiene management more convenient.

How Ultracold Atomic Physics is Creating Fundamentally New Materials Physics has a long track record of discovering and studying new forms of matter. Apart from the four states of matter traditionally taught in Physics class – solid, liquid, gas and plasma – there is a whole range of other, more exotic states…

An estimated 4.63 billion terabytes of data will be generated daily by 2025. To accommodate this staggering number, low-power magnetic media with higher data density and faster I/O speeds is crucial. 2D magnets are essential for next-gen magnetic random-access memories (MRAMs). 2D-MRAMs marrying ultracompactness to ultralow power consumption are key…

ImmunoFeed is a company that plans to use artificial intelligence to predict the mutations a virus will acquire and produce a cheap edible duckweed vaccine in advance before viral zoonoses can occur.
