Martin Kiyeng is addressing the environmental impact of disposable diapers by developing patented technology to process natural fibre from agricultural waste into highly absorbent, biodegradable, and compostable diaper materials. This sustainable approach aims to reduce reliance on non-renewable resources and manage waste more effectively, contributing to a circular business model…

The nominating institution Ginkgo Bioworks on the breakthrough: To design a world without waste, Design by Decay designs waste intentionally. It proposes biological decay as a fabrication process, using enzymes and microbes to decompose and compose biological matter at the same time. By mediating decay through species selection, environmental conditions,…

Tapping into the power of art as a conduit for change, artists around the world are to an ever-greater extent using their work to weigh in on some of the most pressing political and social issues of our times – be it extremism, the refugee crisis or the effects of…

A scalable protein-protein interaction screen helps unraveling the pathogenesis for disease mutations e.g. GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, thereby providing a possible mechanism for a range of other cases.

Our products are Artificial limbs. Now we have a design of knee and we started to build it. We are aiming to design more and build it too. Tags: Diversity, Engineering, prosthetic limbs.

Extending high-precision measurements towards isotopes of the heaviest elements is challenging as these are only available on an atom-at-a-time level. This demands extremely efficient and sensitive tailored ion trap and laser spectroscopy approaches at large-scale accelerators featuring highest stability for measurement times up to days. This will improve our understanding…
