Research shows that computer games can be used as an effective educational tool and can promote prosocial behavior. I teamed up with French game designer Martin Jacob to create a free online computer game that encouraged social distancing, and increased understanding of exponential distributions, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The game…

A collaboration with psychologist Professor Richard Wiseman (University of Hertfordshire) that aimed to create a new type of magic-based science engagement video. The story of the Apollo Moon landings was illustrated with visual sleight-of-hand magic performed with specially printed playing cards. The video attracted over a hundred thousand views on…

Dilip Menon was talking about creating a paracolonial framework that goes beyond the nation state, and that looks at the ways in which humanity’s destiny is framed by shared heritages through oceanic connections. In a time of global warming, the rising waters, and vast human migrations, we need a politics…

Andrea Fischer and colleagues present the first dating of glacier ice using less than 2 mL STP of argon from ∼5 kg of ice, finally opening the door for radioargon dating in glaciology. Alpine summit glaciers have a characteristic age range between 100 and 1,000 years. Reliable dating is the…

The convergence of cell biology and genetic engineering is creating fundamental new ways to impact disease. Capitalizing on these technological breakthroughs, BlueRock are advancing novel cell+gene platform to develop, manufacture, and deliver an entirely new generation of authentic and engineered cell therapies, across neurology, cardiology and immunology. Lead program is…

Theo Issitt’s project investigates gases released by cells in different ‘stress’ conditions to model diseases such as cancer. Changes in these gases can then be investigated in the breath to look for disease.

Our novel versatile biosensors for the rapid detection of various analytes is a cost effective Point-of-Care device to detect toxins, pathogens and viruses. Tags: Bio-Tech, Covid-19, Med-Tech, Mobile Health.

Since 2017 we have 3 main science engagement projects: 1- Hands-on robotics and coding training program where we train public school students on how to build a robot as well how to code and implement project using design thinking 2- Skills development bootcamp, using science kits as well robotics kits,…

A key challenge on the road towards a functional quantum computer is to integrate the individually demonstrated components into a functional and scalable device. I have pioneered the realization of fully chip-integrated quantum gates with trapped ions and have recently demonstrated a high-fidelity self-contained computation register that is both resource-efficient…
