Barbadians have a history of plant usage for health stretching back to the period 1600s to 1800s. Our population is mainly of African descent and rural communities still hold dear to the knowledge base. This is being hampered, however, due to loss of biodiversity and traditional knowledge. Our project has…

Sidewalk Science Center is hosted 3-5 days a week in public spaces, such as parks, playgrounds and even outdoor malls, allowing participants the opportunity to engage with a variety of hands-on science experiments and team-building exercises meant to encourage questions and strengthen observational skills. When our telescope is out, participants…

Tejesvi Patel is addressing the issue of bacterial and fungal infections in wounds, particularly affecting diabetic patients with weakened immune systems. His proposed solution involves the development and testing of biocompatible PVP/TA hydrogels loaded with an antifungal drug, creating topical patches that can simultaneously release antibacterial and antifungal agents for…

The #BlueCarbonArmy is a multisector initiative educating Australia’s corporate executives in climate change literacy, while empowering them to build a sustainable future and value Australia’s coastal ecosystems. By swapping their suits for gumboots, and providing an educational immersive experience into coastal wetland research, our program connected 300+ executives (from 20+…

The innovation is the paradigm shift from conventional thought of content or knowledge transfer in higher education to designing learning from the mobile student experience. To do this, we had to reimagine the learning experience from a mobile student lens. We reimagined learning and learning design from a mobile learning…

Ahmed Albagdady encourages the shift towards automation by utilizing the well-established 3D printers’ movement mechanism to provide small & medium-sized industries with affordable and customisable 3D stages with minimal skilled labour requirements.

Particle accelerators are often thought of as large, expensive facilities or instruments. Typically, these machines have a variety of uses from fundamental science and medical applications to manufacturing semiconductors. How can particle accelerators be reinvented and downsized by the use of advanced nano fabrication and laser technologies? Additionally, what significance…

The nominating institution EPFL on the breakthrough: Nora Al Badri’s unique work joining art, AI, and cultural heritage was advanced during her residency at the Laboratory for Experimental Museology (eM+) of the CDH, EPFL, and will culminate with an exhibition in Autumn 2020. A pre-trained neural network based on GAN…

Experts in quantum logic spectroscopy and highly charged ions have teamed up for the first high resolution coherent laser spectroscopy of a highly charged ion. This breakthrough, which has pushed resolution by eight orders of magnitude, enables proposed sensitive tests of fundamental constants and interactions, novel dark matter searches, as…

Rhys Pirie won first place at the Falling Walls Lab Finale 2019 with his pitch on Breaking the Wall of Broken Glass. Rhys convinced the jury in three minutes by presenting a low-cost process which turns ‘waste’ glass into high-value products such as detergents, tyres, and even toothpaste.
