Meri Iskandaryan is tackling the global challenge of depleting energy reserves by proposing the use of fuel cell (FC) technology, specifically oxygen-tolerant Hydrogenases (Hyd) from non-pathogenic Ralstonia eutropha, for efficient conversion of chemical energy into electricity. Her innovative approach aims to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly energy systems, incorporating enzymatic…

The nominating institution Australian National University on the project: Cyber-physical systems will revolutionise our world. Who will build them? Who will make sure they reflect all our humanity and values? We need a new discipline – and the practitioners to go with it – to challenge conventional thinking, to open…

Using silver and natural plant polyphenols (the molecules behind hard-to-remove wine stains), JJ Richardson creates antimicrobial coatings that stick to any surface and neutralize viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Richardson’s universally adherent antimicrobial coatings can be sprayed on by non-experts in the home or hospital, are so thin you can’t see…

Heiner Camacho is addressing the costliness of the green energy transition by proposing the use of an intellectual property-based device to harvest the mechanical movements of ocean tides and waves. This innovative approach aims to transform this kinetic energy into electricity, specifically to power the hydrolytic process for obtaining “Green…

Bayer Kimlu Science Fellowship has the aims to shape the next generation of STEM leaders in Latin America. Each year we select 40 young people (age 14-18) to be part in a 10 days STEM-leadership science camp in which their develop their science competences and leadership skills. After this, they’re…

Young Tinker Academy is a tinker space where school students collaborate and learn hands-on skills of the future. We work with indigenous communities to build tinker spaces for students and youths with content in the vernacular Indian languages. We have impacted the lives of 1,50,000+ students and youths in rural…

The nominating institution Japan Science and Technology Agency on the breakthrough: Quantum information technologies are expected to bring scientific and social benefits that will change the world. Prof. Oiwa in Osaka University is conducting a JST project to develop a Poincaré interface using quantum dots as hardware for realizing long…
