Emma-Anne Karlsen is researching ways to enhance the effectiveness of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in cancer treatment, addressing the issue of low response rates (below 35%) in certain cancers, costing Australia an estimated $355 million annually for non-responders. Her solution involves repurposing prochlorperazine (PCZ), a low-cost hospital medication, to transform non-responders…

In cooperation with the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation, Falling Walls was hosting this unique format to connect researchers in the physical sciences from all over the world. The symposium gathered the 2021 Winners in the Physical Sciences category as well as partners from academia and business to discuss the…

As universities face the challenge of COVID-19, the EdTech industry has promised frictionless solutions to maintain educational continuity. These “solutions,” however, are often driven more by the needs of the industry than by the needs of students. The ACE Framework is an educator-created guide for course- and institutional-level design to…

How Molecular Plant Physiology Creates Drought Tolerant Crops Resurrection plants are not only the lazy gardener’s best friend, but a real hope for the fight against hunger in the world. While most plants have a phase in their life cycle in which tissues can survive drought conditions, only resurrection plants…

The nominating institution Stanford University on the breakthrough: Efficient batteries are critical for our green energy strategy by powering electric cars and storing solar and wind electricity for grid integration. We pioneered nanotechnology-based materials design to enable novel breakthrough materials including silicon, lithium, and sulfur, which have ten times higher…

Science Communication in Crisis – Could we do better? Falling Walls Circle Tables are lending the spotlight to world-leading scientists, science strategists and policy-makers from academia, business and politics discuss how we can apply science, research and innovation to get the world moving again. While the world has been battling…

The project consists in classifying mineral samples kept by families by sharing photos of the samples with chartered geologists, while maximizing the visibility of places and people involved in the process. In order to facilitate this activity, we propose music as a background element. Music is provided either in the…

As in countless other areas, the diversity, frequency, and scale of human activity are having devastating effects on our oceans and their ecosystem. Whilst overfishing, pollution, and climate change are severely damaging to coral reefs around the world, we remain largely ignorant of – or blind to – the importance…

Aimed at children and adolescents, it addresses the issues of volcanoes: formation, eruptions and influence of them in our cultures. It uses augmented reality, virtual reality, scenography, models, and the mediation of a team of young geologists that guided small groups (5p) through informative and interactive panels until reaching a…
